Chapter 336 Congressional War
Early the next morning, with everything ready, Longman immediately ordered his secretary to publish a proposal to repeal the black tax bill on the social platform Facebook.
After that, other members of the Freemasonry, or those who had won over, also followed suit.
This sudden news quickly became the TOP1 trending search on Facebook, and even began to extend to other social platforms.
For such a big news, even though the three major media outlets had been 'conquered' by David, they naturally did not dare to pretend to be dead in order to keep their jobs, so they all participated in the broadcast one by one.
"Oh, what? Why do you want to repeal the black tax bill again?"
"According to Senator Longman, he has been investigating the black tax bill for several months and has mastered the major irregularities in this bill. , is it true or not?”
“The congressmen from Pipes said the same thing last time. What happened next? It’s not like they have stopped. According to me, this is Senator Longman. Want to take advantage of the midterm elections to gain popularity!"
"Support Senator Longman's repeal of the black tax bill!"
"Support and support..."
For a time, people all over the Internet started a heated discussion about this.
As for the lawless elements, when they saw that after the MPs like Pipes, there were others coming forward to save their interests, they naturally used various methods to increase their momentum.
Inland Revenue Department, Tax Supervision Department.
After a week, David is now completely familiar with the operating procedures of this department and has stabilized his position.
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door, and then Simmons opened the door and walked in, saying anxiously: "No, BOSS, you can turn on the TV and watch CBS now." Take a look! ”
"Oh?"
With a little curiosity, David quickly followed his instructions and opened the TV station on his computer.
“What is behind us now is the Congress building. In addition to social platforms, Senator Longman has just explained to us that he has been paying attention to the IRS’s black tax bill for a long time, and According to his investigation, since the Anti-Black Tax Act was passed, the IRS has lost its power to supervise, and there have been illegal taxation, violent taxation, and serious infringement of the rights of citizens.”
< br>"According to what he himself said, he and his colleagues have submitted a proposal to repeal the black tax bill to Congress. I think the main work of Congress today must be to discuss this. For more details, please continue Follow this TV station to bring you..."
In the TV station, a reporter is broadcasting.
Although I didn't see what happened before, judging from the reporter's remarks, it's not difficult to guess what happened.
More than one congressman stood up and impeached their IRS black tax bill again!
But this time, it was different from the previous MPs from Pips.
The person being impeached this time is a member of the Senate, and the representative senator named Longman has actually submitted the proposal to Congress. This is obviously very well prepared!
“Giggle…”
While thinking, there was a knock on the door, and in came Keppel, whom David had brought from Los Angeles. She said: "Inspector General, Director Obadiah asked you to go to the conference room."
The senior management of the General Administration had obviously received the news, and David nodded and stood up.
While the IRS was holding a meeting, a fierce quarrel broke out in the Capitol.
"Longman, this is a matter for our House of Representatives. I'm afraid it's not your Senate's turn to lead the intervention, right?"
"Whether it is the House of Representatives or the Senate, in fact, the essence of the work is It’s all the same, I’m just insisting on expressing my own political opinions.”
"Haha, you said it nicely. Repealing the black tax bill is of great importance. If this fails, you can just pat your butt and run back to the Senate, but what if David gets angry with our House of Representatives?"
"Failure? Do you think we are the incompetent guys from Pips? Let me tell you, I dare to do this because I am completely sure!"
"You..."
The two people confronting each other, one is naturally Longman of the Senate, and the other is Josh, the House whip who David has met once.
Josh knows how powerful David is, and as the party whip of the House of Representatives, he must also be responsible for his own House of Representatives, so he does not want to get involved in disputes such as the repeal of the black tax bill, thereby causing Huge trouble.
However, he also knows that Longman is a Freemason. The reason why the other party dares to do this is that he has probably won over the majority of members of their House of Representatives. His opposition is probably a bit weak
"Qiao Xi, it doesn’t matter if you don’t support us, but it’s best not to stop us. After all, the midterm elections are coming soon. I think it’s better for you to get busy with re-election.”
Hearing this! , Josh’s face suddenly turned red.
Although the other party was admonishing him on the surface, how could he not hear the threat in his words.
Freemasonry may not allow him to be re-elected, but if you want to cause trouble to prevent him from being re-elected, you are still very sure.
After thinking about it, Josh still couldn't swallow this breath. He said fiercely: "I can not obstruct the passage of the proposal, but before deliberation, a hearing must be held first. Otherwise, you can't even think about it." Deliberation passed to the vote! ”
In America.
The so-called hearing system is a system that effectively protects public interests and private rights of citizens and allows compromise to become the "lubricant" of society.
On the one hand, it participates in social and public affairs by absorbing the interests and will of all parties, making public decision-making and social governance more standardized and reasonable.
On the other hand.
It is a system that can ease social contradictions, reduce social conflicts, maintain social stability, coordinate the forces of all parties, and promote the diversification and democratization of social public activities.
As for the rules of operation, it is also very simple.
In the legislative process of the United States.
A bill can only be submitted to Congress or local legislative bodies for consideration after it has been reviewed and approved by a committee of Congress or local legislative bodies and the executive branch of the United States.
Therefore, legislative hearings will be convened by congressional committees or the executive branch of the United States.
Once the relevant departments agree to hold a hearing, they will announce the time, location, topics and rules of the public hearing to the media, arrange the personnel to participate in the hearing, and prepare various materials related to it.
A hearing requires a quorum to be held.
In addition, at the hearing, the chief representative of the hearing will first make a public statement to introduce the purpose, theme, significance, etc. of the hearing.
The hearing personnel will then be introduced and a swearing-in ceremony will be held. When the hearing witness explains his or her own point of view, he or she can only make a summary statement. Take questions from the Hearing Committee for the allotted five minutes.
Often after all the hearing personnel have made statements, the hearing will ask questions to the summoned hearing personnel.
The entire hearing process must be made public through news media such as radio, television, and the Internet, unless the content of the hearing involves confidential issues such as national security.
Generally speaking, if a bill wants to be repealed or enacted, it must be proposed and reviewed by the House of Representatives before it can go to the voting process. But if the passed proposal fails to pass deliberation, especially if it is an overly influential bill such as the black tax repeal bill, this will be a big blow to the House of Representatives.
After the deliberation and approval, a hearing is held first. You can look at the results of this hearing first, and then judge whether it is necessary to proceed to the next step based on the form.
If the hearing is conducive to the abolition of the black tax bill, then it will naturally proceed directly to deliberation and even voting.
If it is unfavorable, it can be canceled directly, which will also save the House of Representatives from greater consequences.
Langman frowned.
Although he thinks he has enough votes to repeal the black tax bill, Josh is the whip of the House of Representatives after all and controls the disciplinary issues of all members of the house.
If we really get into trouble with him, maybe at the critical moment, it would be bad if this guy secretly makes a stumbling block.
“Okay, since you said you want to hold a hearing, Josh, Whip, then we will hold it, but as for the personnel of the hearing... I think let us handle it, no problem Right? ”
Longman finally gave in.
Because he thought about it carefully, holding the hearing first is not entirely a bad thing. At least as long as they achieve an overwhelming victory in the hearing, this may make some swing members determined to get involved. .
“Okay, I agree!”
……
Inland Revenue Department, conference room.
While Obadiah, David and other senior officials were still discussing countermeasures, an assistant of Obadiah walked in, whispered a few words to him, and immediately turned on the large-screen TV.
What appeared on the TV at this time was the scene in the hall of Congress. Soon, a spokesperson of Congress stepped into the spotlight and said: "Hello everyone, I am the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Peter, after discussion by this House, the proposal to abolish the Black Tax Act has been approved by this House. We will hold a hearing in two days. At that time, representatives from the Internal Revenue Service will come to make a statement, and then we will make a decision. Will it enter into deliberation or even voting..."
Listening to the spokesperson's words, everyone present fell into a state of thinking.
They thought before that since the Freemasons had been planning for so long, they would definitely bring the abolition of the bill to the stage of deliberation.
Unexpectedly, after the proposal was passed, a hearing was held first.
But having said that, this so-called hearing can actually be said to be an early ‘trial’ for the IRS.
As long as the IRS cannot withstand the offensive of the hearing members at this hearing, the IRS will be in a very passive situation.
The impeachment process will immediately enter the congressional review and voting stages.
When the time comes, it will become easier to repeal the black tax bill!
“The Freemasons are eager to kill us as soon as they get started, and they definitely don’t want to delay it like this, so I think this hearing must have been proposed by some big figures in the House of Representatives for fear of being affected.”
"Well, Donald, what you said makes sense, but this is not a good thing for us."
Obadiah agreed, then looked at David and asked: "Inspector General David, what do you think?"
"Let me make some arrangements first."
David had been preparing for bill review before, and this sudden hearing came out It did disrupt his rhythm.
But fortunately, there are still two days to prepare, and it should be able to be settled with a little effort.
After returning to his office, David immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Elvis' number, and said: "Deputy Director Elvis, you should know that some members of Congress want to repeal our black tax bill. Are you there?"
"I just received some news, what about Inspector General David?"
"I want you to help me get those who will attend the hearing. It shouldn’t be difficult for you CIA, right?”
The hearing is different from the committee to abolish the black tax bill.
The composition of the hearing members is selected by the House of Representatives. He must find out who will be present so that he can make targeted decisions.
"It's not difficult to say it's not difficult, okay, I'll check it for you!"
"You have to hurry up, you know I don't have that much time."
"I got it..."
After hanging up the phone, David called Gavin from the FBI again just to be on the safe side. As for the content, of course he asked the other party to use the FBI's channels to do it for him. List of persons attending the hearing.
Given that News Corporation’s incident had made Gavin steal the spotlight, he naturally agreed to this request.
With the investigation by these two major agencies, David felt a little more at ease, but he did not intend to stay idle. He also called Bucky Nissen and Simmons in and asked them to find out the news.
The next day, shortly after David arrived at the office, he received news of Elvis' arrival, and he immediately had him brought to the office.
"Hey Inspector General David, last time you had a promotion dinner, I was busy with official duties and couldn't go to congratulate you. You won't blame me, right?"
As soon as he entered the door, Ai Elvis showed a smile.
“How could I care about such a trivial matter? What’s more, I was actually a little disgraced at that dinner party.”
"Damn, those Angsa people always think of themselves as the masters of the United States, and they are not easy to serve..."
As the intelligence chief of the CIA, Elvis dared to know what happened at the dinner, and he also showed a hint of it. have no choice.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about it. You came to me this early in the morning. Do you have any clues about what I asked you to do?”
Elvis took it from his inner pocket. He took out a piece of folded paper and put it in front of David, and said: "Actually, you don't have to bother the FBI guys. This kind of thing is our strength after all!"
There was a hint of arrogance in his tone. .
David narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you know all this?"
"Don't misunderstand Inspector General David, I don't dare to eavesdrop or spy on you. It's just that during the investigation, both parties will inevitably investigate some places. Let’s get together.”
Elvis was afraid that David would misunderstand, so he quickly put away his smile and explained.
David stopped talking nonsense, picked up the paper, spread it out and started reading.
