Speaker Richard: It's "Kind Of Strange" That Jones Directed The FBI To Him

Speaker Ron Richard (R-Joplin), the Most Powerful Man In Missouri, doesn't have any idea why Birther Rep. Tim Jones (R-Eureka) said he told the FBI to take their questions about Jones' sales tax bill to Richard and Majority Floor Leader Steve Tilley.

House Speaker Ron Richard (R, Joplin) says he doesn't know why the FBI is asking question about the bill's failure.

"No, that does seem kind of strange...I had no idea...I haven't had any inquiries with anybody, other than just members of our House Caucus on that issue, but I have no idea," Richard said.
