Blackstone Code Chapter 1230: Power

"Any news has a purpose!"

In one sentence, the essence and purpose of news are clearly stated!

When the various newspapers in the state are covering the news, it is a sign that something must be happening!

Hicks, as a lawyer, knows the consequences if he admits it, so from the beginning, he didn't think about admitting these things.

"Now we have two troubles..."

The campaign chief looks at Hicks, who are in a closed environment, in the campaign chief's office.

There's almost nothing in here to hide things, just to make sure no one is eavesdropping here, and no one knows what the people inside are talking about.

The person in charge of the campaign office had a very serious expression. He only learned after reading the news this morning. He was still socializing yesterday.

One of Hicks' main jobs is to convince the capitalists who employ thousands of them to be on their side if he wants to win the election.

In the federal political arena, this kind of behavior is called "lobbying". As for the interest transactions generated by lobbying, it must be legal if it is not ignored by others.

Sometimes the federal laws and rules are so magical, they have an anti-duty crime investigation department, and at the same time they try to provide a reasonable coat for those crimes.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of benefit transmission.

The people who make the laws and rules also need these things, so they always leave themselves some "back doors".

I thought everything was safe, until I woke up this morning and saw the newspaper, he was not in the mood to eat breakfast, so he found Hicks in his office.

He looked at Hicks with a serious expression, "The first question is, what kind of relationship do you have with that female cousin, will it affect the future plan?"

"Second question, what level of support can the party provide for you?"

Hicks froze for a moment, he frowned, "Do I have to answer these questions?"

The head of the campaign office nodded, "Yes, you must answer!"

Hicks took a few steps back and forth, with a sad face and a little embarrassment, "I have a simple relationship with that woman... I have a relatively simple relationship, which is a transaction of money and happiness, but in a special way..."

The person in charge of the office did not expect such an answer. He subconsciously said, "You abused her or did you play role-playing games, mother-son-father-daughter or something?"

This may be the only answer he can imagine, and he thinks it may be all there is.

And these things are indeed very serious scandals, the abuse represents a very serious tendency to violence, and the role-playing problem is even bigger.

People are always selfish, people want everyone but themselves to be perfect, they don't want a mentally ill person to be the governor!

Hicks said after a moment of silence, "We abuse each other..."

The person in charge of the campaign office raised his hand to cover his face, then he took a few steps back behind the desk while pinching his waist, just sat down, but couldn't help standing up again, one hand on the table, one Pointing at Hicks, "You didn't tell the chairman or the whip about these things!"

He is also a member of the Conservative Party. His father is also a member of the Conservative Party. His father was a governor and a senator, so he left him a lot of political resources.

With him, these resources have the possibility to be realized in some ways in order to obtain huge profits.

Because of such a strong political background, he knew very well that if the Conservative Party committee knew that Hicks had such a problem, they would not let Hicks stand up!

Some people say that the federal election is "God's magnifying glass". Even a small flaw, such as a fart in a public place, will be turned out and announced to the public!

This is not a small problem, it is a big problem, if he explained these things, the Conservative Party would not have chosen him as flawed to compete with Tracy from the beginning.

Having the last 10,000th hope in his heart, he asked, "When you played those perverted games... did you leave any photos or something?"

Hicks was silent and did not answer, the guy opposite him directly pushed some documents on the table to the ground.

"Damn!", he roared loudly, "Damn!", repeated again.

Hicks hurriedly added, "I only have those photos, and no one else knows about them except you."

The person in charge of the campaign office shook his head. He sat down on the chair and had an urge to give up, "Is there any problem, you know?"

"As long as the woman says you took pictures, they can find enough 'photos' to show the public."

"Maybe it's just a photo of a woman's watch and an ass, no one wants to know if that person is you, they only care if the headline is you!"

As mentioned above, the Federals sometimes take a matter very seriously, and sometimes they are very irresponsible.

For example, they believe that after a person holds the Bible and swears that he will never lie, he really can't lie. How stupid and naive to believe that people can't lie because of religion?

The jury believed. It can be said that the jury's education level is not high, and mysticism and religion have a greater influence on them.

But judges and even prosecutors sometimes believe it, which is incredible.

Once the woman held the Bible and said she didn't lie, people would lean towards her testimony, which was deadly.

No one thought that a person who looked so perfect could have so many problems.

He asked again, "Is your account safe?"

Hicks didn't know how to answer, "Do you want it to be safe?"

The person in charge of the campaign office laughed angrily, "This question should not be answered by me!"

He paused, "You'd better tell the whip about you now and wait for the news. In the meantime, you'd better pray that our opponents just want you to quit the race, or your political career will be over. !”

He is not exaggerating at all. If a politician is suspected of tax evasion, that is a very serious charge!

Tax evasion is a felony in the federal government. Even if you pay less than a dollar in tax, you may encounter very serious consequences!

This is not a joke. Some businessmen were directly fined to go bankrupt because they did not declare dozens of dollars. The people hated tax so much, but they did not act more radically, probably because of the "fairness" of the tax system.

Ordinary people break the law in this regard, and the rich and politicians break the law.

The more this is the case, the more people want to see those upper-class people who break the law fall even harder!

Only in this way can they be spiritually satisfied.

When a gubernatorial candidate is exposed as a tax issue, it quickly becomes a social issue, even without pressure from bigwigs.

He just gave up, "I can't control it, you can do it yourself!"

The problems Hicks encountered were quickly communicated within the party. The chairman of the Conservative Party committee also commented a little. I hope everyone will abide by federal laws, and of course I hope that the IRS will not be in the absence of evidence. The situation is messed up.

At the same time, I also expect that the federal law can give a certain punishment to rumor-mongers. People do have the right to express their subjective wishes at any time and anywhere, but if it violates the law, they should also make the speaker responsible for what they say. !

A very simple and intuitive statement, but Hicks doesn't work hard.

Hicks directly reported the situation he was facing to the party whip. Generally, issues such as party discipline are his responsibility. Only after the party became the ruling party, his scope of authority will be covered from the party. to the entire federal society.

The words and deeds of ordinary people, party leaders, party committee chairmen and even the president are all within the scope of the ruling party whip.

So this is why the whip of the ruling party is said to be the top three, while the whip of the non-ruling party is not ranked in the top ten.

The party whip informed the chairman of the party committee immediately after learning of the news, and then they figured out some things.

In fact, it is not complicated to find out who is in the layout operation. The person who hopes that Hicks will quit and ultimately benefit must be the instigator behind the scenes.

So it seems that Ms. Tracey clearly meets all the conditions, but this woman does not have such ability in some aspects~IndoMTL.com~ So they got the political donations from Ms. Tracey after she ran for governor until now Donation Directory.

It is not difficult to obtain this document. In view of the federal law, these things are publicly available to a limited extent. As long as you have a certain social status or power, you have the right to read these materials.

They quickly locked on some of these targets, and finally screened out the most likely ones, and then arranged for someone to test their words.

By night, Lynch was the only one left on the list.

About ten o'clock in the evening, when Lynch was about to go to bed, the phone rang unexpectedly.

He patted the little maid's butt, and the latter duangduangduangduang ran to get the phone.

He was lying on the bed, "I'm Lynch..."

The caller is Hicks, which is more sincere, "Mr. Lynch, hello, I'm Hicks..."

Lynch frowned slightly and interrupted Hicks directly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hicks, I don't know you, and I'm resting now, if you have anything, wait until tomorrow. How about we talk again?"

There was a few seconds of dead silence on the phone, and then Hicks said with a smile, "Of course, I'm so sorry for disturbing your rest, Mr. Lynch, we'll talk tomorrow in the daytime."

The corners of Lynch's mouth twitched slightly, "So good night, Mr. Hicks."

"Good night, Mr. Lynch!"
