1903 Emergencies
"How do you plan to deal with these people?" The old man shrugged, "Federal law stipulates that people with public offices are exempt from investigation."
"Members of Congress play a key role in the entire national political system. If you want to get rid of them, it may not be an easy task!"
Political strife is always the most terrifying political event. Once it cannot be suppressed, people will soon fight for the sake of strife.
Therefore, the federal government has always been cautious about investigating current officials. Most people with powerful positions are exempt from investigation while in office.
Whether it's the federal president, governor, or member of Congress!
The only way to start an investigation against them is after they leave office.
But now that the power of Congress has been taken back by the Presidential Palace, the operations of Congress have almost come to a standstill, and the voting for the election of members has also stopped.
Barring something very special, the Senate seat isn't going to change much anytime soon.
Lynch knew exactly what he wanted.
He knew better that his promotion of his nephew to the throne would create a currently invisible but real rift between him and Gladstone.
Because the people he promoted were not Gladstone's people, but his own. As the inheritor of his entire political legacy, Gladstone would instinctively feel deeply dissatisfied.
He cannot be said to be completely established within the Progressive Party. If he can get one more senator under his command, the committee will definitely give him more support.
After all, there are only so many senators in the Federation. One more senator in his hands means one less in the hands of others.
This increase and decrease will not make the difference even, but will make the gap even bigger!
But the old man doesn't care. If Lynch can hold five, six or even more senators in his hands, then he can become a hidden faction himself!
With him standing behind his nephew, no matter how dissatisfied Gladstone was, he had to carefully hide his dissatisfaction with him.
The political arena is more cruel than the capital market.
Because there may still be miracles in the capital market where the small can swallow up the big, but in the political arena, strength is the most basic addition and subtraction, and there are no variables!
Second, always compare to one, without any surprises!
So the old man directly pushed his nephew to Lin Qi's side.
Regarding the old man's question, Lin Qi just smiled calmly.
"If you are familiar with the Federal Charter, you will definitely understand a truth——"
"National interests, above all else!"
The old man's mind went blank for a moment, and then his face showed some shock and even some slight fear!
"You want to use special clauses?!"
Lynch smiled and did not answer, neither said yes nor no.
The seemingly ambiguous attitude actually told the old man the answer.
The so-called special provisions mean that when national security is seriously threatened, everything is based on the security and interests of the country, allowing investigations into any behavior or individual that undermines national security.
In layman's terms, while those in office are exempt from investigation, treason is not included.
The security agencies will not let a certain senator go crazy and betray national interests without arresting him just because he is a senator.
In the end, this matter will be sent to the president, and the federal president will sign the authorization letter.
The Security Committee, Internal Affairs Department, Homeland Security Bureau and other departments will begin to take action, investigate, arrest, and even kill directly if necessary.
In principle, this method is only aimed at vicious treasonous incidents, but Lynch's statement undoubtedly puts this method on the table that will infinitely expand the contradiction!
When Mr. Trueman used this method for the first time to solve some opponents that he found difficult, what would he do if he encountered a similar situation again?
Human beings are intelligent animals and are best at summarizing experience.
When humans overcome a difficulty and then encounter a similar difficulty, they will use the previous method to solve the difficulty.
"Usual" is the best way to use it!
This method is actually very bad. It is equivalent to flipping the table without any restrictions. This is the politics of terror!
The existence of special provisions in the Charter is a bottom line, and Congress can impeach the president in peacetime.
Even if the president uses the special clause and the clause is activated, Congress can impeach the president in time to prevent the problem from spreading.
But now, Congress is shut down and the president is flipping the table again...
The old man's eyes were already covered with fear!
On the surface, there has not been any extremely bad political strife in the Federation, but too many people have died because of politics.
Everyone should keep a low profile and keep it to themselves.
He couldn't imagine what the Federation would be like if the centralized Mr. Trueman used it as the sharpest spear!
But soon, the old man's eyes changed again subtly.
He was thinking about a question.
Lynch, what kind of role is he playing?
The weather is getting colder, but people's hearts are getting hotter and hotter. The battle in the Penjiao area has temporarily become less intense due to the substantial cooling.
The 404th Airborne Division's surprise attack ended the siege. So far, the Federation has sent about 800,000 federal soldiers to Penteo's homeland.
Air battles are taking place every day, but the ground war is not advancing very quickly.
The Strategic Command of the Ministry of National Defense decided to first establish some temporary outposts and transfer stations, as well as some military warehouses.
Airstrips, parking warehouses, oil storage tanks, etc. all need to be built.
Pengeo is also frantically expanding his troops, and both sides seem to be preparing for the next decisive battle.
After next spring, a super war of terrifying scale will definitely break out!
The advantages gained by the federal army have made the World Development Council more influential internationally.
Member states are unscrupulously invading neighboring countries. In addition to the World Development Council and the Pengeo Military Group, a new military group is being established.
At this time, a man wearing a leather jacket and a leather hat was running quickly on a slightly remote road in the Satellite City of Bupen.
Every time he breathes out air, a stream of heat will appear in the air, and it will be swept and dissipated in the air by the wind driven by him when he runs.
Behind him were several guys who were clearly federal agents chasing him.
This man was a spy. He didn't know why he was exposed, but he knew that he would die if he didn't run away.
Unfortunately, after most spies are exposed, there are only two ways to go.
Either tell everything you know and die.
Or die immediately.
He didn't want to die, so he could only run.
In the end, he was pushed to the ground.
As the war continues, security agencies are clearing out spies from hostile forces lurking in the country every day.
This is just part of the daily routine, nothing out of the ordinary.
The captured spy was imprisoned in the interrogation room of the Department of Homeland Security. He knew that there was no hope of survival, and he just wanted to use the secrets he knew to delay one day.
On this day, he had just completed a complete set of super interrogation packages and was returned to the prison cell with bruises all over his body.
The agent outside the door threw a plate of rotten food from the crack under the door. Like an old dog, he pounced on it and ate it.
As he was eating, his expression became a little weird, and he slowly spit out a small note smeared with tung oil.
Tung oil is waterproof and the effect is very significant.
He opened the note, read every word carefully, tore it into pieces and swallowed it.
The next afternoon, a large document was sent from the Department of Homeland Security to the Department of Defense, and then went to the presidential palace together with officials from the Department of Defense, Security Council officials, federal prosecutors, and officials from the Department of Homeland Security.
At about 4:10 in the evening, a piece of inaccurate news leaked out through the grapevine.
A captured Pengeo spy handed over some horrifying lists, including the names of a total of eleven members of Congress, including three senators!
Everyone became nervous for a moment!
At six o'clock in the evening, Senator Langdon and others came to Lynch's villa, each of them with some sadness on their faces.
A member of Congress is suspected of passing important confidential information abroad. This news is terrible!
This crime is too terrible!
Congress has numerous committees whose job it is to run the country.
For example, the Federal Military Commission is mainly responsible for verifying various data of the federal army, such as how many generals, how many colonels, how many lieutenants...
What are the names of these officers, what resumes they have, and what military regions they serve in.
How many troops are there in each military region, what are their numbers and organization, and how much military equipment and inventory they have.
Another example is the Federal Budget and Appropriations Committee.
How much budget each region declares each year, including the specific declaration information and the results of the declaration.
For example, many of the contents studied by some research departments are still being applied for.
It can be said that there are too many secrets in the Congress, from the military to people's livelihood, almost everything is involved!
Once members of Congress pass on information to the outside world, it is very likely that many secrets have been leaked.
The security and internal affairs departments of various agencies began to operate at high speed and started self-examination and self-examination, and everyone was at risk.
The Presidential Palace released a message at 6:35 pm.
The general meaning is to reject the politics of terror, base everything on factual evidence, and will not frame any innocent federal officials.
But no renegade federal official will be spared!
That’s what they say, but who can take it seriously?
A large group of people were crowded in the living room, and the originally large house suddenly felt a lot smaller.
The senators were sitting on the sofa, while the representatives could only stand behind the sofa.
When they got here, Lynch was still on his way back.
The old man is not young, but his brain moves very quickly, especially thoughts related to politics.
After the two of them chatted a few more words in private, he hurried back.
When he got home, everyone was already waiting for him!
The moment they saw Lin Qi, everyone stood up and looked at Lin Qi who walked into the living room...
