"Every news has a purpose!"

One sentence explains clearly the essence and purpose of news!

When various newspapers in the state are reporting these news, it means that something must be happening!

As a lawyer, Hicks knew the consequences he would face if he admitted, so he never considered admitting these things in the first place.

"Now we face two troubles..."

The campaign manager looked at Hicks, and they were in a closed environment, in the campaign manager's office.

There is almost no place to hide anything here, just to ensure that no one is eavesdropping here, and no one knows what the people inside are saying.

The person in charge of the campaign office had a very serious expression. He only found out after reading the news this morning. He was still socializing yesterday.

For Hicks to win, he would have to convince the capitalists who employ thousands to side with them, which was one of his main jobs.

In the federal political arena, this kind of behavior is called "lobbying." As for the interest transactions generated in lobbying, if it is ignored, it must be legal.

Sometimes federal laws and various rules are so magical. While they have an anti-duty crime investigation department, they also find ways to provide reasonable cover for those criminal acts.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of benefit transmission.

The people who make laws and rules also need these things, so they will always leave some "back doors" for themselves.

He originally thought everything was safe, but until he woke up this morning and saw the newspaper, he was not even in the mood to eat breakfast, so he found Hicks in his office.

He looked at Hicks seriously, "The first question is, what is the relationship between you and that female cousin? Will it affect the subsequent plans?"

"Second question, what level of support can the party provide you?"

Hicks was stunned for a moment, and he frowned, "Do I have to answer these questions?"

The head of the campaign office nodded, "Yes, you must answer!"

Hicks took a few steps back and forth, with a sad look on his face and a bit embarrassed, "My relationship with that woman...me is relatively simple. It's just a transaction of money and happiness, but the method is a little special..."

The person in charge of the office did not expect such an answer. He subconsciously said, "Did you abuse her or did you play a role-playing game, mother, son, father and daughter?"

This may be the only answer he can imagine, and he feels that this may be all.

And these things are indeed very serious scandals. Abuse represents a very serious tendency to violence. As for role-playing, the problem is even greater.

People are always selfish, people want everyone except themselves to be perfect, they would not want a mentally ill person to become the governor!

"We abuse each other..." Hicks said after a moment of silence.

The person in charge of the campaign office raised his hands to cover his face. Then he walked back and forth a few steps behind his desk, holding his waist. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but stand up. He held the table with one hand and pointed at Hope with one hand. Chris, "You didn't say any of this to the Chairman or the Whip!"

He is also a member of the Conservative Party, and his father is also a member of the Conservative Party. His father was once a governor and a senator, so he left a lot of political resources to him.

He has the possibility of monetizing these resources in some ways in order to make huge profits.

Precisely because of his deep political background, he knew very well that if the Conservative Committee knew that Hicks had such a problem, they would definitely not let Hicks come forward!

Some people say that the federal election campaign is "God's magnifying glass". Even a small flaw, such as a fart in public, will be discovered and made public!

This is no longer a minor problem, it is a big problem. If he had explained these things, the Conservative Party would not have elected a flawed person like him to compete with Tracey in the first place.

Still retaining the last ten thousandth of hope in his heart, he asked, "When you were playing those perverted games...do you have any photos or anything like that?"

Hicks was silent and did not answer. The guy opposite him pushed some documents on the table to the ground.

"Damn it!" he roared loudly, "Damn it!" and repeated it again.

Hicks quickly added, "Only I have those photos. No one else knows about them except you."

The person in charge of the campaign office shook his head. He sat down on the chair and had the urge to give up. "It's not a problem, you know?"

"As long as the woman says you took photos, they can find enough 'photos' to show the public."

"It might just be a picture of a female cousin and a butt. No one wants to know if that person is you. They only care if the title of the news is you!"

As mentioned above, federal people sometimes take a matter very seriously, and sometimes they are very irresponsible.

For example, they believe that after a person swears on the Bible that he will never lie, he really will not lie. How stupid and naive is this to believe that people will not lie because of religious reasons?

The jury believed it. It can be said that the jury's cultural level is not high, and mysticism and religion have a greater influence on them.

But sometimes judges and even prosecutors believe it, which is incredible.

Once that woman holds the Bible and says that she is not lying, the people will be inclined to her testimony, which is fatal.

No one thought that a person who looked so perfect could have so many problems.

He asked again, "Is your account safe?"

Hicks didn't know how to respond, "Do you want it to be safe?"

The person in charge of the campaign office laughed angrily, "I shouldn't answer this question!"

He paused, "You'd better tell the party whip your story now and wait for the news. During this period, you'd better pray that our opponents just hope that you give up the campaign, otherwise your political career will be over!"

What he said is not an exaggeration at all. If a politician is suspected of tax evasion, it is a very serious accusation!

Tax evasion is a felony in the federal government. Even if you pay just one dollar less in taxes, you may encounter very serious consequences!

This is no joke. Some businessmen were fined and went bankrupt because they failed to declare dozens of dollars. People hate taxes so much, but they don’t take more drastic actions. This is probably because of the “fairness” of the tax system.

Ordinary people break the law in this regard, and the results are the same as wealthy people and politicians breaking the law.

The more this is the case, the more people hope to see those upper-class people who have violated the law fall even worse!

Only in this way can they be spiritually satisfied.

When a gubernatorial candidate is exposed for tax issues, even without pressure from a big shot, it quickly becomes a social issue.

He gave up directly, "I can't control it anymore, you can figure it out yourself!"

The problems Hicks encountered were quickly communicated within the party. The chairman of the Conservative Committee also made some comments, hoping that everyone will abide by federal laws, and of course, he hopes that the Federal Tax Service will not make random decisions without evidence. Come.

At the same time, we also hope that federal laws will give certain punishment to those who spread rumors. People do have the right to express their subjective wishes at any time and anywhere, but if it violates the law, the speaker should be held responsible for what he or she says!

It's a very simple and intuitive statement, but Hicks doesn't work hard.

Hicks directly reported the situation he was facing to the party whip. Generally speaking, he was responsible for issues such as party discipline. Only after the party became the ruling party would his scope of authority extend from the party to the entire federal government. society.

The words and deeds of ordinary people, party leaders, party committee chairs and even the president are all within the scope of the ruling party whip.

So this is why the whips of the ruling party are among the top three, while the whips of non-ruling parties are not among the top ten.

After the party whip learned about this information, he immediately informed the chairman of the party committee, and then they clarified some of the situation.

In fact, it is not complicated to find out who is planning the operation. The person who hopes that Hicks will withdraw and ultimately benefit must be the person behind the scenes.

From this point of view, Ms. Tracy obviously met all the conditions, but this woman did not have such abilities in some aspects, so they obtained the list of political donations made by Ms. Tracy since she ran for governor until now.

It is actually not difficult to get this document. In view of federal laws, these things are disclosed to a limited extent. As long as you have a certain social status or power, you have the right to read these materials.

They quickly identified some of the targets, finally screened out the most likely ones, and then arranged for people to test their voices.

By nightfall, only Lynch's name remained on the list.

About ten o'clock in the evening, when Lynch was getting ready to go to bed, the phone rang unexpectedly.

He patted the little maid's butt, and the latter ran over to get the phone.

He was lying on the bed, "I am Lynch..."

The caller was Hicks, which was more sincere, "Hello, Mr. Lynch, I'm Hicks..."

Lynch frowned slightly and interrupted Hicks directly, "Sorry, Mr. Hicks, I don't know you, and I'm resting now. If you have anything, we can meet again during the day tomorrow. How about chatting?"

There was a deathly silence on the phone for a few seconds, and then Hicks forced a smile and said, "Of course, I'm extremely sorry for disturbing your rest, Mr. Lynch. We'll talk tomorrow during the day."

Lynch's mouth curled up slightly, "Good night then, Mr. Hicks."

"Good night, Mr. Lynch!"
