Chapter 176: FBI arrests the governor?
After the excitement, Lawson immediately took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and said, "How about Chief David, are you satisfied with my performance?"
"Yes Mr. Lawson, you performed very well!"
"Then...what should I do next?"
"Just wait for my notification."
< br>
"Okay."
......
After the interview, the fermentation of the matter continued.
Especially in the cities of Reno and Orui, the citizens and netizens here have begun to criticize Stevenson verbally and in writing.
The reason is also very simple.
The proposal for the Golden Ears Bridge was submitted several years ago. If it had been approved at that time, the bridge would have been completed long ago for the convenience of the citizens of the two cities.
Why delay until now?
Therefore, the citizens of both cities felt that just because Stevenson wanted to gain credit, it had affected their travel and trade for so many years, which naturally made them very angry.
Las Vegas, this side of the apartment building where Serena lives.
"Okay, I know..."
On the balcony, Serena hung up the phone with various expressions on her face including shock, confusion, and confusion.
After thinking for a few minutes, she picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"What's wrong, Serena."
"Father, something big happened in Nevada just now. I think it is necessary to report it to you."
"What happened?"
"The specifics are like this..."
Selina reported a series of things that happened on KNPR-FM TV station in detail.
The other end of the phone was silent for about a minute after hearing this, and then a voice came: "Governor Stevenson has been attacked like this, what is the background of this Senator Lawson candidate?" ?”
“That’s not the point. The point is that David already went to Carson City a few days ago, which is very intriguing.”
“Then what you mean is, Lao. Xun is just a 'spokesperson', maybe the real driving force behind the scenes is David?"
"Based on the information from all sources, I think David is indeed the driving force behind the scenes, and only he can get this kind of information about Stevenson."
"Then according to what you say, we may Underestimating him again, this David actually got the handle on Stevenson!"
"Yes, but he is also very smart, knowing that if he confronts Shi personally in the name of the IRS! If Stevenson takes action, it may cause a huge backlash, so he found a 'gunman', and this gunman happens to be Stevenson's opponent. "
For this, Celie. Na thought what David did was very smart and correct.
After all, no matter what David is doing now, he is just a tax chief.
If he dares to attack Stevenson in a big way, let's not say whether the forces behind Stevenson will retaliate.
What would the governors of other states and the powerful people in Washington think?
Hey David, you dare to do something to someone as high as the governor. What if you do it to me?
In order to prevent this kind of trouble.
Then I will definitely not be able to let you truly grow up. Even if I cannot kill you now, I must at least contain you!
And now that David has found a gunman like Lawson, he can hide his identity and prevent the real powerful people from targeting him so early!
This is a very clever approach!
"According to what you said, he is indeed smart. This man has both means and brains. He is really brave and resourceful."
On the other end of the phone, Celi Na's father also knew David's intention, and he also praised him without hesitation. Then he asked: "Then do you think he can really bring down Governor Stevenson?"
"This This document report is very aggressive, but with the resources Stevenson has and the power he has behind him, it is not enough to bring him down..."
"It makes sense. In our American history, there are very few governors who have fallen due to impeachment or scandal, let alone a governor like Stevenson who has the support of the Mogan family."
"Father, things are not necessarily absolute. Based on my familiarity with David these days, since he has taken action, he must be sure. Let us continue to see what will happen next."
It is certainly difficult to bring down a governor, but with Selina's recent understanding and familiarity with David, she feels that it is still possible.
……
The next day came.
After the Stevenson incident broke out last night, many people saw the fishiness in it, such as William from the Lake District Bureau.
Because he was very aware of the grievances between Stevenson and David, so as soon as Stevenson’s incident broke out, he immediately understood that David was behind the scenes and made a phone call immediately. Come and ask for confirmation.
Of course, there was no need for David to hide it, and he admitted it to William 100%.
The two chatted until late at night.
Because he went to bed late, David didn't wake up until 9 o'clock. Now he just got up and was brushing his teeth.
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.
He immediately rinsed his mouth quickly, then came to the door and opened it. The people who came were none other than Simon, Nissen, and Bucky.
"Tax Commissioner, look at this."
Bucky handed over several newspapers. David picked them up and looked at them. The news on the front page was not News about the Stevenson and Golden Ears Bridges.
But a Hollywood male star was arrested in Las Vegas on suspicion of soliciting prostitution, and the person he solicited was not a woman, but a man.
"This Stevenson is really good." David was not angry, but smiled playfully.
Because he can be sure that the reason why this actor occupies the headlines is definitely manipulated by Stevenson.
Of course, the other party can take off the headlines that should belong to him, but David is not unable to continue to let him be on it.
He wants to see how many times Stevenson can take it off.
"Tax Commissioner, look at the next copy!"
Hearing Bucky's words, David put away his thoughts, took out the second copy and checked it.
The second one is about the local newspaper in Reno.
It printed the announcement issued by the city hall today. Anyway, it was all kinds of whitewashing of Stevenson, claiming that it had never reached any deal with the state government or Stevenson.
Finally, the local city hall even found the officials who proposed the bridge to testify, and these officials did not know what method Stevenson used. They all claimed that they submitted the proposal for the bridge that year. It was too hasty, and there were indeed many hidden dangers that were not resolved.
Later, after the state government sent people to conduct detailed surveys and inspections, these hidden dangers were eliminated. There was absolutely no case of the state government grabbing credit.
"Okay, not only did a male star come out to steal the headlines, but in this night, he actually managed to get the relevant officials from the two groups of city halls. This reaction can definitely be said to be textbook level!"
David threw the newspaper aside, returned to the living room and sat on the sofa, took out his mobile phone and dialed Lawson's number, and said: "Mr. Lawson, come to my hotel room. "
Now Stevenson must have known that he and Lawson have reached a cooperation, so there is no need to be secretive.
“Okay, I’ll come right away!”
Yesterday, relying on the documents David gave him, he gained a lot of support for beating Stevenson on the TV station. Lawson was excited. Now he heard that he seemed to have another task, and of course he was very happy to accept it.
After ending the call with Lawson, David dialed Gavin's number again: "This matter is such a big deal, it's time for your FBI to start taking action!"
Suspected taxation The issue is under the jurisdiction of the IRS, but what is involved now is corruption and bribery, which is under the jurisdiction of the FBI.
"Understood."
In the FBI office, Gavin put down the phone and immediately called Owen and ordered: "Take someone to the governor's mansion and make the noise louder."
"Yes."
Oen also immediately turned and left.
Soon after, when word spread that the FBI brought people to the governor's mansion to investigate a bribery case, the entire Carson City was instantly in a state of shock.
Although, the document released by Lawson last night did confirm Stevenson's serious corruption.
However, Stevenson is the governor of a state after all, the boss of Nevada. The FBI brought people to the governor's mansion in such a swagger, as if they wanted to arrest a prisoner. This is already considered very unusual. No more face.
"Farke, this damn Gavin!"
In the official residence, Stevenson was numb with anger when he heard that the FBI had brought people to the door, accompanied by many reporters.
At the same time, he was completely confirmed that Gavin had really colluded with David!
"I didn't expect that Gavin, David, and Lawson really colluded. Governor, the trouble is really big this time..."
Besides, Eugene's His eyes were red and swollen, and his face looked very haggard.
Because of the document on the Golden Ear Bridge, he didn't sleep all night last night and was processing a series of things like a machine.
Unexpectedly, this just extinguished public opinion; the public's attention was diverted, and the FBI immediately ignited it again.
"Gavin, Lawson..."
Stevenson gritted his teeth and read the names of these two people, and then said: "I will never spare these two people!"
“Let’s talk about this later, Governor. Now the FBI has come to our door. If we ignore it, we won’t be able to explain it to the public. Let’s let them in.”
Stevenson had not lost his mind yet, and of course he understood that what Eugene said was correct. Then he forcibly calmed down a little and replied: "Then let them in."
In the FBI and History Stevenson was fighting.
At the hotel, Lawson had arrived in David's room and said with a smile: "Chief David, even the FBI fell into your hands, I have to admire you! "
On the way here, he had heard that the FBI people went to the governor's mansion with great fanfare.
Now he has digested it, but when he just heard the news, he was shocked for a long time.
It's okay for them to be manipulated by David.
But that's the FBI.
Although the FBI is not as powerful as the IRS, in terms of intelligence and information, this is the agency's strength.
However, even so, David was still able to grasp it.
This is a little too incredible.
If the matter hadn't been put in front of him, he wouldn't have believed it even to death.
David did not accept his words, but directly picked up the file bag on the table and handed it to him.
Lawson didn’t waste any more nonsense and immediately took it and inspected it.
As the contents of the documents entered his eyes, his expression was the same as when he saw the documents about the Golden Ears Bridge yesterday. He was shocked at first and then gradually turned into joy.
