Chapter 339 Collective rebellion, congressmen were confused
After hearing this, Donald smiled disdainfully and replied: "In our United States, as long as law enforcement agencies receive complaints, this is normal. , What’s so strange about this? What’s the explanation?”
Michelson did not immediately refute, but took out a document bag, opened it, and took out a stack of photos. After seeing these photos, there was an uproar inside and outside the venue.
Because in these photos, some of the people have bruises on their noses and faces, and some have bloody heads. In short, they are miserable.
“It is indeed normal to complain, but in our country, the most important thing is human rights. Look, these are the citizens who have been persecuted by your IRS. You dare to say that it is not through your hands. Power violent law enforcement! ”
Michelson's accusation made the already uproar louder.
“If this is really done by the IRS, it would be so inhumane!”
“Yes, it doesn’t matter if the IRS has great power, we can accept it, but if we treat our citizens like I can't accept this kind of violence!"
"The IRS is a national law enforcement agency and cannot use such crude methods like gangsters. This is a must even if I continue to support the IRS! Said.”
“…”
To be honest, before these photos were released, most people on the Internet supported the IRS, except for those criminals and people whose interests were harmed.
But after these photos came out, they couldn't tolerate it anymore.
It is said that in America, the only things that are inevitable are death and taxes.
Although this statement is slightly exaggerated, it also reflects the inevitable intersection between citizens and the IRS.
What if one day they miss paying taxes due to negligence or something, and are treated so harshly by the IRS?
This is what all citizens worry about!
“Congressman Michelson, no one knows where you got these photos, and no one knows whether these victims were really violently treated by our IRS. If it is really our IRS auditor who did it, I believe there must be a reason. You might as well point out in detail which region this case is. After I and the public understand it, we can discuss this issue carefully. Otherwise, this What’s the difference between taking something out of context?”
This time it was David who spoke out.
After hearing his explanation, the supporters of the original IRS on the Internet also came to their senses instantly.
Yes, how can we conclude that the IRS is violently enforcing the law based on only some photos of the victims?
Even if it is really violent law enforcement, can't it be done for a reason?
For example, police officers and FBI agents often empty their magazines when faced with violent resistance. Is that considered violent law enforcement?
And what happened in these photos now, if it was really done by the IRS, they didn’t use weapons, they just beat these people up. In a way, they are kinder than the police and FBI. More!
“Since we dare to take out these photos in Congress in front of the whole country, they cannot be fake. The victims of these photos were all done by your IRS inspectors. This is beyond doubt. Doubtful!”
After Michelson finished speaking, he looked at Dilpan.
He knew very well that although he took out these photos, these photos alone still had many loopholes and were not convincing enough.
This requires professionals like Dilpan to step forward and use their professional knowledge to plug these loopholes, so that they can further drag the IRS into the abyss.
But soon, Michelson and he discovered something was wrong.
Because facing the look he cast, Dilpan acted as if he didn't see it, staring blankly like a wooden man.
“How did this bastard manage to be distracted in such an occasion?”
Michelson cursed in his heart, and then quietly pushed Dilpin's thigh with his hand. .
What I didn’t expect was that the other party remained unmoved, still frozen in place like a wooden man.
Now he couldn't help it anymore and said directly to Dilpan: "Mr. Dilpan, as our chief lawyer representative in the hearing, do you have anything to add?"
"I...I guess I have nothing to add!"
As soon as Dilpan said these words, almost everyone inside and outside the court was dumbfounded.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although on the surface the representative of this hearing is Mitchelson, the real ‘motor’ is the barrister Dilpin.
But now, Michelson has launched an attack, but your engine, Dilpan, suddenly stalled. What's going on?
"Fake, it turns out the traitor is this bastard!"
Here, Maduaike, who was listening, finally understood that the traitor is this guy.
Although Langman didn't show too much impatience at the seat, his expression wasn't much better.
They knew that there was a traitor in the committee, but they did not expect that it would be the core figure Dilpan.
If this is the case, then things are a bit bad...
"What is going on? This Dilpan is a dedicated lawyer for the House of Representatives. He is obviously here this time. Why did the congressmen at the hearing suddenly lose their temper when they were trying to pin down the illegal activities of the IRS?” Very sharp, he can make the target blush every time. Today is indeed a bit abnormal. "
"Could it be that... this barrister is also afraid of Inspector General David? "< br>
The audience who were watching also saw something unusual and started to speculate in their hearts.
At the same time, the faces of the Freemasons who were paying attention to the hearing turned gloomy. Apparently, they also saw that the situation was not good.
But it is a pity that, knowing that the situation is not good, they have no choice but to hope that the situation will not collapse again in the next time.
……
Congress scene.
Donald turned to look at David, smiled slightly and gave him an approving look.
Because before coming, David deliberately kept it a secret and didn't tell him too many details, so he didn't know that the other party's chief lawyer had actually done it for them.
And now he finally understood why this kid was so confident.
But having said that, solving a Dilpan can only be said to have solved a big trouble. The IRS is not completely out of danger yet.
After all, the lawyer invited by the House of Representatives was not only Dilpan, but also several others.
Putting away his thoughts, Donald returned his attention to the podium.
At this time, Michelson, who was in the center of the stage, also understood. It seemed that Dilpan had rebelled for some reason, which made him very angry.
To be honest, after what the FBI Deputy Director Maduaikai said just now when he arrived, he guessed that there might be a mole in the team, otherwise the deputy director would not personally Come and speak those words of coercion and inducement.
Afterwards, he also carefully considered the suspicious characters in the team, but he had never doubted Dilpan.
Because they have worked together many times and have a good relationship in private, they trust each other extremely well.
But he didn't expect that the person he trusted the most would have embarrassed him in front of the whole world just now. So at this time, Michelson wanted to stand up and punch him twice.
But when he thought that this was the Congress, and that the global media were broadcasting it in real time, he could only suppress his anger. After trying to calm his thoughts, Michelson said to a man on Dilpin's right: "Mr. Latiu, do you have anything to add?"
He The idea is the same as that of many people. Even if Dilpan rebels, there are still other lawyer members here.
As long as these lawyers stand up and use their professional knowledge and rhetoric to continue attacking the IRS, they still have a chance of winning.
But he thought well, but he didn't expect that the reality that followed gave him a hard slap in the face.
"I...I have nothing to add!"
Hiss...
As soon as these words came out, it was like a heavy hammer hitting Mi Che. On the chests of Erson, Longman, and all the Freemasons, they almost lost their breath.
It’s okay if Dilpan rebelled. Could it be that the lawyer Latiu also rebelled?
So how can we continue to fight this battle today?
"My hair, what does this mean? Why didn't the two lawyers express any opinions during the hearing? Are they here to watch a show?"
"According to past situations. It seems that Dilpan, and Latiu like to express their opinions in Congress. Why are they pretending to be ostriches today? "
"Look, Michelson? Judging from the shocked looks of those congressmen, they obviously did not expect this. Something must have happened within them!"
"It seems so. Could it be that these two lawyers have secretly turned to the IRS? , are you deliberately trying to embarrass those congressmen?”
Such an outrageous and funny hearing also surprised the people watching.
"Farke, what on earth did these bastards do!"
"Damn..."
"How could this happen..."
At the same time, the Freemasons watching from various places were also angry and yelled.
First Dilpan, and then Latiu, the two elite lawyers invited to fight against the IRS this time have all rebelled. How can this be fun?
What’s even more serious is that if even these two people rebel, will the rest of the lawyer members also rebel?
As soon as this idea came out, all the Freemasons felt their scalps numb.
If this is the case, then not only did they lose today's hearing, they might even be recorded in the history of hearings and be laughed at by future generations for who knows how many years.
After all, since the hearing system was established, there has never been a hearing like this, where all the lawyers here have been incited to rebel.
This is a joke!
However, they really do whatever they want.
After Latiu made such a statement, the other lawyers were not too surprised, but more uneasy and unnatural.
In other words, their previous numbing speculation may have been true. The traitor is not just one or two, but maybe... the entire team of lawyers!
At this moment, the members of the Freemasonry felt that they had hit rock bottom.
And here, Michelson at the table naturally judged that something was wrong from the expressions of other members of the legal team.
This made him very angry and puzzled at the same time.
You said that no matter how powerful David is, you can handle Dilpan and Latiu, but how can you handle the entire legal team?
And you must know that it only takes two or three days from the announcement to the decision to hold the hearing, and the members are still not announced. How did David find the list and put these in a short time? Did someone do it secretly?
This is too outrageous!
This is almost the most outrageous thing that Michelson and the congressmen present have encountered in Congress for so many years.
"Congressman Mitchelson, please continue to answer my previous question. These photos you took out are from which region and branch of the case? Are they deliberately taken out of context to lead the public to question our national taxation department? If you don’t explain clearly, you are throwing dirty water on our IRS!”
David has seen that the matter of the legal team has confused the legislators on the stage. Why would he continue to sit there, he stood up and asked to speak in public.
“Yes, Inspector General David is right. The details must be explained clearly, otherwise what is the difference between throwing dirty water?”
“My own legal team has It’s really a joke to hold a hearing to accuse the IRS when you have nothing to say.”
"Before, Michelson and other congressmen threatened to do something to the IRS in this hearing. Now, it is really a big joke!"
On the stage, Although Michelson didn't know what the current public opinion was on the Internet, judging from the surrounding media reporters and the atmosphere, he had already guessed that the whole country seemed to be watching their joke, which made him so angry that his veins were exposed. But I don’t know how to refute it.
Because in previous hearings, they, the congressmen, are only responsible for eliciting the charges of one party being summoned and exaggerating them on the sidelines. However, as for how to accuse and substantiate the charges, that is the responsibility of the legal team. matter.
But now that the lawyer group has rebelled, he has not prepared in advance, and he does not have the professional ability and eloquence, so naturally he has no choice but to refute.
After a long pause, Michelson could only look at Dilpin, Latiu and other members of the legal team with eyes that were unwilling, angry, and even slightly asking for help, hoping that these people would change their minds and help them. He said a few words.
But unfortunately, the team of lawyers pretended not to notice him and still sat there dumbfounded.
“Damn it!”
Michelson cursed secretly in his heart, and then looked at Longman, the backbone, but unfortunately, Longman was also treated like him. This sudden collective rebellion disrupted the situation, and there was no way to deal with it except to remain silent.
In the end, knowing that there was nothing he could do to save the day, Mitchelson did not want to continue to embarrass himself, so he could only stand up and leave the seat.
When the other congressmen saw that the representatives of this hearing were all gone, after exchanging glances with each other, they could only leave in despair.
"What happened? Why did the congressmen leave like this?"
"This was a hearing, how could they leave like this?"
"Something happened at the hearing. Then The members of the group of lawyers seem to have been incited to rebel. What else can these congressmen do if they don’t leave and continue to make people laugh?”
“This is probably the funniest thing in the history of our American Congress. Isn’t this a hearing? It’s been a long time since we’ve seen it!”
Such a sudden scene confused not only the media reporters at the scene, but also the people watching the live broadcast online.
In the minds of many people, such a turn of events at the hearing was the first time this happened to the United States in so many years.
But it didn’t take long for many people to figure out the reason.
In previous hearings, the division of labor between congressmen and the legal team has been very clear, that is, the congressmen will impeach the target of the summons, and then the lawyer team will use their own methods based on the answers of the subpoenaed person. Professional ability to refute and accuse.
To put it in layman’s terms, the congressmen at the hearing are employers, and the lawyers are thugs. Now that thugs don’t do anything, how can it be possible no matter how rich the employer is but without force (the professional ability of lawyers)? Can you defeat the opponent?
Only when the two cooperate with each other can the summoned target be held accountable to the greatest extent possible.
Now that all our lawyers have defected, the remaining congressmen are naturally helpless. How can this hearing continue?
So now it is just a matter of decency for them to leave.
