Chapter 338 There is a mole!
The next day, in the IRS conference room.

"Tell me honestly, how confident are you at this hearing?"

Obadiah asked solemnly.

"I can't say it's 100%, but 80% to 90% will be fine!"

"Okay, since you are so sure, I won't ask any more questions. I'll leave this matter to you!"

"it is good!"

David stood up, returned to his supervisory department, explained some things, and walked out of the IRS gate with Nissen, Bucky, and Simmons.

Because the hearing was such a sensation, and today was the date of the hearing, the media reporters who had been "lying in wait" for a long time suddenly surrounded the place.

"Inspector General David, are you confident about this hearing?"

"Inspector General David, the congressman at the hearing has already threatened to make your IRS look bad at today's hearing. What do you want to say?"

"Inspector General David..."

"..."

Facing the media's inquiries, David did not dodge. He replied: "This so-called hearing is simply a waste of our IRS and my time. If Congress had not initiated this hearing to waste my time, I might have collected tens of billions of dollars in taxes in the past few days. But forget it, since some people think that our IRS has violated the law, I will go to Congress in person to shatter the thoughts of those scoundrels!"

hiss!
After hearing David's arrogant words, the media reporters at the scene took a deep breath.

That's a hearing!
Moreover, the members of the hearing were composed of senior congressmen and a group of top lawyers, but now in David's mouth, they have become a group of scoundrels?

"Haha, Inspector General David's words are very domineering. I support them!"

"Inspector General David is right. If it weren't for this so-called hearing, people might not even know how much tax revenue was generated in the past few days."

"I hope Inspector General David can give these disgusting guys a hard beating at the hearing."

"..."

David's words naturally caused a stir on the Internet.

At the same time, in Washington, D.C., on Capitol Hill.

Washington is a hilly city, and Capitol Hill is the high ground on which the Capitol Building sits.

From a distance, the Capitol is a building surrounded by giant columns with a crown-shaped dome in the middle.

This large white domed government building is built of white sandstone and marble. It is 749 feet long, 336 feet wide, and the top is 130 feet from the ground.

Above the center stands a 20.5-foot-tall bronze "Statue of Liberty", which is the most eye-catching symbol of Washington.

The south side of the Capitol is the lower house, where the House of Representatives is located, and the north side is the upper house, where the Senate is located.

At this time, in a meeting room in the South House of Representatives.

"boom!"

After seeing David's remarks in an interview on TV.

Senator Langman, who was in charge of the Freemasonry's bill to abolish the black tax, slammed his fist on the table and said with a grim look, "Well, you actually described us as a group of scoundrels. I want to see how you crush my thoughts after you come to Congress!"

Seeing Langman so angry, the congressmen and lawyers present didn't dare to breathe.

However, the congressmen presiding over the hearing were also very angry about David's exaggerated words.

Are you treating them like little bastards?
But unlike these congressmen, the legal team led by Dilpan not only did not show any anger, but seemed somewhat demoralized.

This also made Langman on the side notice something unusual. He turned to look at Dierpan and others and asked, "Dilpan, is there any problem with your team?"

"No...no problem!"

Dilpan was shocked, but replied as if nothing had happened.

"That's good. This time you are facing the IRS and David. It's no exaggeration to say that you are attracting worldwide attention. As long as you can nail them down at the hearing, you will have accumulated a lot of reputation, which will be very helpful to you in the future. I hope you can make good use of it!"

"I understand, Mr. Langman..."

……

In addition to David, Donald, who is in charge of the black tax bill, will also attend the hearing. Also present will be two dedicated lawyers from the IRS.

Of course, after getting David's assurance, the two lawyers came here just to go through the motions.
When the group arrived at Capitol Hill, it was already crowded with media reporters.

“Mr. Donald, are you confident that you can win this hearing?
"Deputy Commissioner Donald, it is said that if the hearing fails, the IRS's black tax bill will be at risk of being repealed. Are you worried about this?"

"Inspector General David..."

Donald was fully focused on the upcoming hearing and had no time to accept interviews from the media.

David had already been interviewed before, so he naturally had no intention of continuing, so the group directly broke through the media's siege and entered the Capitol Hall.

Congress Hall.

At first glance, there are densely packed wooden seats and an exquisite red carpet on the floor.

As for the rostrum, it stands in the central area and is surrounded by all the seats on the upper and lower floors.

Seeing this scene, David couldn't help but think of the scenes that often appeared on TV.

A legislator, speaker, president or something like that stands in the middle, engaging in a verbal battle with a group of opponents around him.

You have to know that this is a person standing there and arguing with a group of people around him. How much pressure must he bear?

If it were David, he thought he didn't have the mental toughness to handle it.

After all, he is a pragmatist. When it comes to his eloquence and ability to withstand pressure, he is not as good as those old-timers in Congress even if he tries to flatter them.

"The atmosphere in Congress is very tense, but don't worry, it's just a hearing, not a legislative vote, so there won't be many people."

Seeing David's expression change, Donald comforted him.

When he first came to such a solemn place as the Congress, he was even more nervous than David, but after coming here many times, he got used to it.

"Ah."

David nodded.

Donald looked at his watch and said, "There's still some time. You should get used to the atmosphere here first."

……

While David and Donald were talking here.

On the other side, a man came into the meeting room on the south side.

This person is none other than the FBI's Deputy Director Madu Aike, and of course, he is also a member of the Freemasonry group.

"Deputy Director Madu Aike, why are you here?"

Langman immediately went up to him, but there was a hint of doubt between his brows. "Let's talk later!"

Maduaikai motioned for everyone to stay calm, then walked over to the lawyers and the presiding councillors, looked at them and said, "First of all, I am very grateful for everyone's participation in this hearing. On behalf of our group, I promise everyone that once this is accomplished, our group will ensure that you have a bright future!"

"But I must also be frank. If anyone dares to ruin our good deeds, our group can guarantee that you will pay the price you deserve!"

Although he was somewhat puzzled as to why Maduaikai would say this, Langman had already realized that something must have happened. He put aside his distracting thoughts and echoed, "Maduaikai's words are also my words!"

Upon hearing this, the presiding congressman and the legal team instantly showed polarized attitudes.

The MPs were, of course, ecstatic.

This is a guarantee made by the Freemasons themselves that will give them a bright future!
As long as they win this hearing and get the support of Freemasonry, they will all be successful!
As for the members of the legal team, they were secretly groaning in their hearts at this moment.

The two men in front of them made harsh remarks on behalf of the Freemasonry Group. If they still do what David said yesterday, they will be in trouble in the future.

Or... just confess and get some leniency?
No!

If they confess, the IRS might suffer a setback at the hearing, but will the IRS and that bastard David let them off afterwards?

Each of them was well aware of David's methods.

If they really dare to turn against their own side like this, not only will they never be able to turn over a new leaf in this life, but they will have to spend the rest of their lives in prison.

After thinking about it, they still didn't dare to take this risk.

"Why, you heard what I said, right? You don't have anything else to say, right?"

Looking at the indifferent crowd, Maduakei looked fierce and spoke meaningfully.

Langman, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he quickly came to his side and asked cautiously, "Deputy Director Maduaikai, what are you doing..."

Maduaikai still didn't answer, but looked at the congressmen and the lawyers, waved his hand and said: "Okay, you guys go out and get ready first!"

No one dared to say anything more, and they all stood up and left.

After everyone left, Langman immediately asked, "Madu Aike, what happened to them?"

"I received some information that there is a mole!"

"what!"

Maduaikai's words shocked Langman, and he quickly asked, "No way, Maduaikai, these...are all the councillors I carefully selected, and Dilpan and his team are also our legal team. They have gained a lot of benefits for our group, so there should be no problem."

"Haha, so what if you carefully selected and hired a team of lawyers? You know David's methods. As long as he gets hold of these people's handles, do you think they won't be afraid?"

Maduake sneered.

Hearing this, Langman couldn't refute it.

Yes.

David's tactics were indeed ruthless. If he himself was caught by this bastard, he would be afraid, let alone these people.

However, there was one thing that puzzled Langman. The list of people attending the hearing had not been announced yet. How did David know about it and instigate his team members to defect so quickly?
"If there really is a traitor in our team, then the upcoming hearing will be bad. No, Madu Aike, we must put an end to this hidden danger!"

If he wins the hearing, he will be very successful and the group will be in great shape.

But if he loses, he will not be disgraced, but his prestige will definitely be greatly damaged, and the group will definitely put the blame on him. He doesn't want to see such a thing happen.

"Eliminate it. How are you going to eliminate it?"

Maduake looked at him as if he were a fool.

"Of course, find out..."

Langman wanted to find out the traitor, but halfway through his words he suddenly realized that what he said was too stupid.

If it could really be found, the FBI deputy director would have pointed out the name long ago. Why would he have to wait until now?
It must be the tip-off that we received. Although it confirmed that there was a traitor among the hearing committee members, we don’t know who it is!

And Maduake's words of coercion and inducement just now were intended to force the traitor to come out, but this traitor was obviously determined to remain in power until the end, which made it even more difficult to deal with.

"So what should I do now? The hearing is about to begin, and we definitely can't cancel or postpone it."

"We can only hope that there are only one or two traitors. With our advantage in numbers, we can still suppress them and prevent them from causing any trouble. Well, there is no time left. You need to go out and preside over the hearing!"

Hearing this, Langman quickly glanced at the time.

Sure enough, it was time for the hearing to begin. He had no choice but to walk out with a gloomy face.

……

Congress, House of Representatives lobby.

The invited media reporters have already taken their positions.

As for David, he was familiar with the atmosphere in Congress by now, and there was no sign of anything unusual on his face.

"The hearing members are here!"

As Langman and others walked out of the passage, the media's attention was instantly attracted.

Langman is indeed a veteran who has been in Congress for many years. Although he was very worried when he learned that there was a traitor in his team, he looked very confident at this moment, as if he had already won the hearing.

"Here it comes, the showdown between Congress and the IRS is about to begin!"

"It's time to start the game. Let's all take a guess. Will Congress win this hearing, or will the IRS get away with it?"

"With Inspector General David here, I'm sure the IRS will get away with it safely."

"..."

Seeing that the war was about to break out, netizens began to get excited.

The criminals who are watching the whole country are also worried at this moment, because they know very well that if the IRS is defeated in the hearing, then the abolition of the black tax bill will be basically a sure thing!
Amid heated discussions across the Internet, Langman and others have already come to the podium and taken their seats.

David, Donald and others sat in a row of chairs below and directly opposite the podium.

Not long after sitting down, David understood why, in the hearings initiated by Congress, few of the targets summoned were able to withstand the attack.

This is the main venue of the hearing, and the host of the hearing is sitting on the podium, questioning the summoned target from a condescending manner. Even if the summoned target is psychologically strong, he will certainly be greatly affected.

In this case, it would be strange if the target who was summoned was not made to look foolish by the questions!

Fortunately, David had dealt with Dilpan and others in advance, and he had the situation under control, so of course he had no fluctuations in his heart at this time.

"Okay, this hearing officially begins!"

As the host representative of this hearing, Michelson announced, then looked at Donald and asked: "The purpose of summoning your IRS is also very simple."

"It has been a while since the launch of the 'Black Tax Bill'. We have received complaints from people all over the country, accusing your IRS of abusing private power, violent law enforcement, and a series of other illegal operations. Can you explain this?"
