Chapter 337 People involved in the hearing

"Dilpan, it turns out that he is the chief lawyer for this hearing!"

Deerpan, a doctor of law from Harvard University, is a top lawyer in the United States and is particularly good at legal affairs.

Since I started my career, I have participated in more than 40 hearings and have never lost.

In fact, after David received the hearing notice yesterday, he had expected that it would be him, and now it turned out to be just as he expected!
"His wife is Jewish, so it's not surprising that he would be the one to preside over this hearing. But he's a bit difficult to deal with, so you IRS officers should be careful!"

Hearing Elvis' reminder, David nodded slightly and continued to check the remaining information.

In addition to Elvis, the other members of the legal team at this hearing are also top lawyers in the United States.

The representative who presided over the hearing was a member of the House of Representatives named Mitchelson, and there were three other members of the House of Representatives and one senator who were also present as observers.

"Giggle..."

While he was thinking, there was a knock on the door. David put his thoughts aside and called out, "Come in."

It was Keppel who came in and said, "Inspector General, Mr. Gavin from the FBI wants to see you."

"Inspector General David, how about I first..."

"No need, you can meet him too!"

David intends to support these two people, so it would be good to let them get to know each other first so that they can have a basic understanding.

"All right……"

Two or three minutes later, Gavin walked in with a smile. When he saw Elvis sitting there, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and asked in surprise, "Isn't this Deputy Director Elvis of the CIA?"

"Agent Gavin, you've been in the limelight lately."

"How can my little fame compare to yours..."

"Cough cough..."

Gavin came back to his senses when he heard David cough. He didn't come here to chat today, but after seeing Elvis here, he became hesitant.

"Don't worry. Deputy Director Elvis is one of us. How is the investigation going?"

Gavin glanced at Elvis, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket and placed it in front of David, saying, "I found it. Here is the list."

When he said this, his tone sounded somewhat like he was seeking credit.

However, when he saw David open the list and pick up another list for comparison, as well as the playful look on Elvis' face, his heart skipped a beat.

It seems that David not only asked him for help in the investigation, but also asked the intelligence chief of the CIA.

And it seemed that someone had found the list before him and presented it to him first.

For a moment, Gavin felt a burning sensation on his face.

"Well, the people you found are the same, which proves that these are the people who attended the hearing. Gavin, you did a good job!"

"It's just a little effort."

Although his face was burning, Gavin still agreed.

"There is something I need your help with. I want you to check..."

……

In the afternoon, Congress held a press conference to confirm the specific time and location of tomorrow's hearing.

However, Congress did not announce the members who would attend the hearing.

I think they are worried that the IRS will find out in advance and make targeted arrangements.

But what they didn't expect was that David had already learned the list of hearing members through the CIA and FBI's huge network of relationships.

But no matter what, after it was confirmed that Congress would hold a hearing on the IRS tomorrow, it still ignited the expectations of the media and the public on the Internet.

Everyone is looking forward to what the outcome of tomorrow's hearing will be.

……

A street in the East Side of Washington DC.

David and others got out of the car and walked towards a house across the street.

I came to the door and rang the doorbell.

Soon, a middle-aged woman opened the door, looked at David and others and asked, "Who are you? What's the matter?"

"IRS, we want to talk to Mr. Dilpan!"

"IRS...please come in!"

When the woman saw the ID card that Nissen showed, she hesitated for a moment, but still invited the four people in.

"Dilpan is in the study. I'll go get him."

"Okay, thank you for your help!"

After the woman left, David took off his sunglasses.

Two or three minutes later, footsteps were heard upstairs and a man in casual clothes walked down. However, after seeing David and others in the living room, his footsteps stopped at the next step.

"Don't be so nervous, come down and talk, Mr. Dilpan!"

After hearing David's call, Dilpan came back to his senses and walked down pretending to be calm.

After sitting down opposite David, he asked, "I didn't expect that the famous Inspector General David would come. It really makes my humble place shine. I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"

"Mr. Dilpan, if my information is correct, you should be the lead attorney at tomorrow's hearing, right?"

Upon hearing this, although Dilpan seemed to have not changed much on the surface, a storm was brewing in his heart.

The list of hearing members has not been made public. How did David know this?
Random thoughts flashed through his mind, and he asked, "Inspector General David, where did you hear the news from?"

"I don't need to tell you this, you just need to answer yes or no!"

"Inspector General David, what do you mean by this!"

Hearing such a questioning tone, Dilpan's face instantly became stern.

Given his status and position, it is no exaggeration to say that even the president would have to be polite when meeting him.

And now he was being so polite to David. It would have been fine if David didn't appreciate it, but how dare he speak to him in such an irresistible tone?

You really think you are his subordinate!
"Inspector General David, my respect for you doesn't mean I'm really afraid of you. You have to know that this is my private residence. Without relevant documents, I have the right to refuse to cooperate with any of your law enforcement!"

As one of the top lawyers in the United States, Deerpan is best at law.

So when he saw David being so aggressive, he took up legal action without hesitation, protecting himself while also counter-threatening.

After hearing what he said, David would be afraid.

But what he didn't expect was that no matter how he looked at David's face, the other party didn't show any fear. Instead, he smiled contemptuously and said, "Let's talk about the accusation later. Mr. Dilpan, why don't you take a look at what this is first!"

David took the document bag handed to him by Nissen and threw it on the table.

This is some dirty information about Dilpan that he obtained with the help of the CIA and the FBI. Of course, it mainly involved a lot of tax issues.

Dilpan suppressed the anger in his heart, picked up the file bag and opened it, but the next second, surprise, shock, confusion, and then ferocity appeared on his face.

Finally, he glared and asked, "Where did you get all these?"

"Mr. Dierpan, you see, you are confused about the main and the secondary again. Do you think I need to tell you this?"

Dierpan stared at David and asked through gritted teeth, "What do you think?"

"Again, are you the lead attorney for tomorrow's hearing?"

Dierpan was silent for three seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "So what!"

"Very good. I don't ask you to do anything for me. I just hope that you can remain neutral at tomorrow's hearing. Is that not difficult for you?"

Upon hearing this, Dilpan was stunned.

Why was he invited to serve as lead lawyer at the hearing?

That's because they value his ability and eloquence, and want to use his sharp words to attack the black tax bill at the hearing, so as to lay a good foundation for its subsequent abolition.

But now David asked him to remain neutral at that time?
Why didn’t the congressmen and the group of Jews who attended the hearing afterwards kill him?
"What's wrong, don't you want to?"

"No, you're asking me to die. I can't agree to that!"

"So you want me to conduct a thorough investigation of you, right? People say you're good at debate, so I'd like to see if you can still exonerate yourself in our court!"

"you……"

Dilpan was furious.

Even though he is a big shot in the legal field, it is impossible for him to win given the documents listed by the other party and the IRS court, which is a place without human rights.

But if he goes to the hearing and stands as a wooden man, he will definitely be liquidated by the Jews afterwards.

But if he didn't do as David asked, then this bastard would investigate and sue him. Not only would all his accumulated prestige be wasted, but he might even end up in jail.

This is a dilemma!

"Mr. Dierpan, do as I say. At most, you can retire and enjoy your old age after this incident. It's better than being disgraced and imprisoned. You are a smart man, you should make the right choice!"

Although David's words were hateful, they were also true for Dilpan, who did not have many choices.

Even if the Jews wanted to liquidate him afterwards, the most he would suffer would be the loss of his influence in Congress and his authority in the legal profession.

No matter how you look at it, it's better than being disgraced and going to jail!
But when he thought about all his hard work over the years coming to nothing, he still felt a little painful.

After thinking back and forth for several minutes, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up as he said, "Inspector General David, how about I turn down the position of chief lawyer for the hearing?"

Dilpan is very smart. As long as he resigns from the position now, even though it will make the Jewish people unhappy, they will not do anything to him.

This can be regarded as stopping the opposition to David, which is the best of both worlds!
But he was thinking too simply.

If he resigns, someone else will definitely be asked to take over at the hearing.

How could David do such a thing that would bring trouble to himself?
"No, Mr. Dilpan, you can't resign. Just do as I say and remain neutral in Congress!"

Dierpan seemed a little frustrated and continued, "Even if I remain neutral, the lawyers and others will attack your IRS."

"take it out!"

Upon hearing David's order, Nissen immediately opened his briefcase, took out a thick stack of documents, and placed them on the table.

Seeing the pile of documents, Dilpan was stunned.

Although there was a pile of them, each one was packed in a file bag, just like the one David had shown him before.

Could it be that what is contained here is all the evidence and dirty information about the other members of his legal team tomorrow?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, everyone in Dilpan was almost dumbfounded.

It would be fine if we could get some evidence of his crimes.

All the evidence and dirty laundry of the entire legal team was fabricated. How much talent does it take to accomplish this?

Just when his mind was still in a mess.

David spoke up: "Mr. Dierpan, I won't visit the rest of your team one by one. You can pass these on to them and tell them my requirements. As long as they are not crazy, I think they will think it over carefully."

After saying this, David stood up and left with Nissen, Bucky, and Simmons, leaving only Dilpan who was still in a mess.
……

After walking out of the house and getting in the car, Simmons couldn't help but ask, "Boss, aren't we going to take action against the congressmen who presided over the hearing?"

David only collected the negative information about the legal team and did not collect any negative information about the congressmen attending the hearing, so he asked this question.

"There's no need. Since this hearing is already going to be held, if there are no opposing points, what's the point of watching it?"

In the past, hearings were mainly conducted by the articulate lawyers who asked the targets of the subpoenas all kinds of harsh questions. As for the congressmen attending the hearings, they mostly just provided assistance.

Therefore, after secretly dealing with the legal team, the group of congressmen presiding over the hearing will inevitably be thrown into disarray and make a fool of themselves at the hearing!

This is what David wanted to see!
Here, after a lot of hesitation, Dilpan finally picked up the phone and dialed a number...

Not long after, four or five cars drove up to his residence, and the people who got out of the cars walked in with puzzled expressions.

"What's going on, Mr. Dilpan? Why did you call all of us here?"

"Yes, Mr. Dilpan, I still have two documents that I haven't figured out the wording for, but I don't have much time to waste here..."

"..."

These people are the members of the legal team at tomorrow's hearing.

The hearing was going to be held tomorrow, and each of them was busy preparing for everything. Suddenly, they were called over, and the tone on the phone sounded so urgent, which naturally made them very confused.

"I'm sorry, everyone. This is an emergency. Please take a look at your respective portions..."

Dilpan pointed at the documents on the table with a helpless look on his face.

While these people were puzzled, they immediately walked forward, picked up the documents on the table and started to look at them.

More than an hour later, the door of Dilpan's house was pushed open, and the members of the legal team who came out all had grim looks on their faces. After looking at each other and smiling bitterly, they finally got into their respective cars and left.
