american tax collector

"All rise!"

Alika decided not to worry about that for the time being, and stood up and read out: "The defendants Dalic, Andre, and Stevenson... have been convicted of favoritism, corruption, bribery, and tax evasion."

"The verdict is as follows: the defendant, Dalic, is sentenced to 20 years in prison without parole!"

"The defendant, Andre, is sentenced to 20 years in prison without parole!"

"The accused..."

The people on trial this time are not ordinary people, they are all top officials in New York, so Alika and David had agreed beforehand to adopt general sentencing standards, so as to minimize the unrest in New York State.

It is worth mentioning that in previous trials, after the verdicts were announced, the defendants almost all looked pale or collapsed in their seats after hearing the results of their sentences.

However, now, after hearing the verdict, Dalic and his people only looked a little unhappy, and there was no sign of collapse.

This once again sparked speculation from people inside and outside the venue. Could it be that they still have some trick up their sleeve to turn the tables?

"Inspector General David, I feel like something is not right."

As soon as the trial ended, IRS personnel including Nahum and Godwin came over and said with frowns.

"Something is indeed wrong. I think they should have some other plans."

David seemed a little confused before, but now he has figured it out a little.

During the two days when these people were detained, the Freemasonry group sent quite a few people to meet them. Perhaps the Freemasonry gave them some reassurance.

But no matter what, now that these people have been sentenced, there is no way they can escape from his grasp!

"Well, that's possible..."

Hearing this, Godwin, Nahum and others also agreed. Then Godwin said, "No matter what the plan is, once you are in our IRS prison, it will not be easy to get out!"

David nodded and said, "Chief Godwin, I have something else to take care of. See you later."

"Row!"

David, along with Munson, Lalin, and Jerry, walked out of the courthouse and got into the car.

……

After the trial, this incident instantly fermented throughout America.

After all, these are the mayor, police chief, and governor of the global financial center.

But he still fell into David's hands, which once again made the world realize how terrible David was.

Washington, D.C., Bureau of Internal Revenue.

"Well done, David, you did a great job this time!"

"Now that we have dealt with this group of people, it will definitely serve as a warning to other congressmen or candidates. David just needs to make some efforts next time. I think even if he can't win all the seats in New York State, he will have no problem winning most of them."

"New York State is the headquarters of the Freemasons. This purge of their officials has dealt a heavy blow to them. If the seats in Congress they control are taken away, they will basically become a toothless tiger!"

After the verdict was announced, all the senior executives were completely relieved.

To be honest, they were still worried before the trial.

Let’s not talk about people like Stevenson for now, but Dalic is a governor.

If the court trial fails to convict him, then the attack by a governor with his power will be a huge blow to the IRS.

But fortunately, the result was smooth, and David showed his clean and neat solution as always.

"Director, consultant, what's wrong with you?"

After the ecstasy, a senior executive noticed that something was wrong with the two men's expressions and asked immediately.

"Don't you think there's something wrong with Dalic Andre and the others?"

Obadiah's words made all the senior executives react.

Yes, they had been puzzled by the expressions of these people before, but when the verdict came out, they were so happy that they forgot about it.

Now that I think about it, there are indeed some problems.

Why was Dalek Andre able to keep his composure when he heard that he would end up in prison?

Could it be that... the Freemasonry group gave them some kind of reassurance?

"Then judging from this, this incident may not be truly over yet..."

The words of this senior executive instantly froze the atmosphere in the conference room.

If the Freemasonry group gives these people reassurance, there will definitely be other actions next.

"Director..."

While everyone in the conference room was still thinking, a staff member rushed in.

"Just now, when Dalek, Andre and the others were taken to prison, they were interviewed. They all changed their statements, saying that they had not done anything illegal or disorderly, and that they were framed by our IRS and Inspector General David!"

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

He did not defend himself in court, but only stood up to defend himself when the verdict was announced and he was about to be taken to prison. What is this?
"What do they mean?"

Vertonghen asked immediately.

"According to them, because this is the IRS court and the judge, everything has been decided internally, and they knew it was useless to defend themselves in court, so they resorted to silent protest at the time!"

"Silent protest..."

The senior executives looked at each other in surprise, but they soon figured it out.

The people in the Freemasonry group probably expected that since David dared to bring these people to court, he must have solid evidence.

Therefore, knowing that it is of little use to change the confession in court, it is more beneficial to change the confession out of court!
But I have to say, this trick is really useful!

It's a satire that there are no human rights in their IRS courts!
At the same time, David was the first to receive the news in the Cadillac Beast on Fifth Avenue in New York.

"Silent protest... kind of interesting."

David raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a somewhat intriguing expression.

Senado Island, East Coast, New York.

The senior members of the Freemasonry group, led by Henrietta and Joshua, were also watching the trial. "I knew that Dalic and his people would not be able to escape his control!"

Prescott had already anticipated this result before the verdict was announced, so they were not very surprised at this moment.

"It doesn't matter. How's Sullivan doing? He should be arriving at the White House soon, right?"

It was Joshua who asked this question.

"Just received the news that he has arrived."

"Well, let's take a look at the situation over there!"

……

Washington, D.C., the White House.

A convoy arrived at the door, the doors opened, and a thin and gentle man got out of the middle car.

His name is Jack Sullivan, and he is currently the President's National Security Advisor.

The Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs is mainly responsible for America's foreign affairs, and his job responsibilities are somewhat similar to those of the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense.

But unlike the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense, this position is not the head of a government department.

The President’s Assistant for National Security Affairs does not need the approval of Congress to take office. If he does not need approval, he will not be subject to supervision and will only be responsible to the President.

In addition, during the 2020 election, as a campaign advisor to the Paidon team, he can be said to have successfully helped Paidon win the highest throne in the United States.

After that, he became Paden's most trusted person and was even hailed as the strongest brain behind Paden.

"Sir, Mr. President knows you are back and is waiting for you."

"understood."

Sullivan replied expressionlessly, then quickly walked to the door of the president's office, knocked on it, and walked in.

"Sullivan is back."

As soon as he saw Sullivan come in, Paden immediately smiled warmly.

America can be called the world's policeman because almost all strategic changes, armed conflicts, and diplomatic disputes that occur around the world are related to them.

However, Paden is old and does not have enough energy to do these things himself, so this task has always fallen on Sullivan.

And Sullivan did live up to expectations. Under his governance, most of America's major strategic policies were implemented and promoted successfully.

This not only led to Paiden's increasing trust in him, but he could even be said to be relying on him to a great extent.

"Yes, sir. This trip to Ukraine went quite smoothly. Thanks to my lobbying, France, Germany... these countries have expressed their willingness to increase their assistance..."

Currently, America’s top priority is the EW conflict, so as soon as he saw Paden, Sullivan proudly described the situation there.

"Very good. With these countries increasing their aid, the pressure on us will be much lighter. Sullivan, you have worked hard on this matter. Now that you are back, enjoy your vacation first."

"No sir, I didn't come back to enjoy my vacation this time. I heard that you were in some trouble, so I took the time to come back this time to help you solve this trouble."

"Ok?"

Paiden looked at Sullivan in surprise, then asked, "Are you talking about the IRS?"

"Yes, sir. David from the IRS is getting more and more arrogant. I heard that the New York incident is a direct challenge to your authority. This cannot be tolerated any longer. We must suppress his arrogance!"

There was a hint of ruthlessness in Sullivan's tone.

After graduating from Yale University, he was immediately appointed as the director of policy planning at the GW Institute of the United States, making him the youngest director of policy planning in the United States.

During his subsequent time in Australia, he single-handedly crafted the policy of returning to the Asia-Pacific, and since then he has become famous.

In the current Padden era, he has been appointed as Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs and National Security Advisor of the United States. He has become a "tough guy" in the eyes of various countries and is in the limelight.

However, after David showed up, he stole the limelight from him. It was impossible to say that he didn't have any resentment in his heart.

The reason why he gave up the diplomatic affairs of various countries and came back this time was not only because the Freemasonry Group had communicated with him, but also because he wanted to personally meet Inspector General David who had stolen his limelight!

"This……"

Paiden fell silent after hearing this.

Sullivan was young and strong, good at building strategic countermeasures and scheming, so he had thought about transferring him back to suppress David and curb his arrogance.

However, the EW war is still going on, and he needs the powerful general Sullivan to be in charge of Europe so that he can control the situation.

After all, no matter how much David tries, it is ultimately America's own internal affairs.

If the situation on the EW battlefield is not handled properly, it will shake the hegemony of the United States.

So whether it was the previous Kachila incident or David's direct challenge to his authority through the New York purge, he had never thought about the reason for distracting Sullivan.

"Mr. President, I have already dealt with the European affairs. There won't be any problems in the short term. Even if something happens, I can always take time to deal with it. But the matter regarding David must be dealt with seriously. Otherwise, if this continues, I'm afraid we will be led by him in everything in the future!"

Sullivan and Paden share the same fate.

In this New York purge incident, David has directly challenged Padden's authority. If such incidents happen a few more times in the future.

How would that make others see it?
Others will think that you, the biggest boss in America, have to bow down to David. Who will listen to you in the future?

So it can be said that Sullivan's return this time to deal with David was actually just to maintain his own authority.

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I'll listen to you. But now that David has become so powerful, it's not easy to deal with him. Where should we start?"

Seeing that Sullivan was so determined, Paiden decided not to stop him.

Anyway, the issue of the tax avoidance bill has been settled, and he doesn't have as many concerns about David as before.

"The New York purge is actually a good opportunity. We can start from here. For example, we can grant amnesty to people like Dalic. If it succeeds, it will make the entire United States realize that even if the IRS sends these people to jail, the White House can change everything at any time as long as it is willing!"

The idea of ​​amnesty was proposed by the Freemasons, and after hearing and thinking about it, Sullivan indeed felt that this plan was feasible.

"Pardon these people? Now that they have been convicted, it would be hard to explain to the public if there is no reason to pardon them."

Of course, Paideen also knew that if he could grant amnesty to people like Dalic, it would not only suppress the momentum of David and the IRS, but also make everyone realize that they, the White House, are the boss.

But as he said, Dalic and others had already been convicted by David in court with evidence of the crime and witnesses.

If they force a pardon without overturning the verdict, then the White House would be seen as bending the law for personal gain. (End of this chapter)
