1925 Moving Like Thunder
Frank was also very anxious. He didn't know why Mr. Trueman's attitude suddenly became so tough.
He has been paying attention to the trial work on monopoly. As long as the monopoly is not established, everything can survive.
As for the follow-up measures prepared, they are not used.
The most important task now is to contact the people from the Monopoly Investigation Committee as soon as possible.
"Yeah"
"I have a new job for you."
This call was made to the broker he had often used before, and it was safer for them to come forward.
The person on the other side of the receiver was silent for a while, and then said reluctantly, "Actually, what I'm most worried about right now is receiving your call. You know the situation is a little different now."
"I was just lucky last time, but not this time!"
What Frank wanted to hear wasn't rejection, and his attitude changed somewhat, "You owe me."
Since the business cannot be negotiated, let's repay the favor.
The three presidents of the Dais family will always have many people who owe them favors, and it is not too much for him to ask for the return of this favor now.
Instead, the pressure is on the broker again. He can refuse, but from today on, Bu Payne's political circle will not let him play because he does not follow the rules.
The core of federal freedom and justice is that if you help me, I will help you.
But if someone wants to destroy these, he will obviously not be accepted by mainstream society.
"Oh... tell me what's going on."
Frank's expression softened a little, "I want to talk to the people from the Monopoly Investigation Committee..."
Before he finished speaking, the broker on the other side of the phone exclaimed, "Are you fucking crazy?"
"You are meeting with them at this time. Do you want the world to know what we are doing?"
The antitrust investigation against the consortium has begun, and the whole people's attention is focused on this "Operation Dragon Slaying".
As the main part of the antitrust investigation, the Congressional Monopoly Investigation Committee, the people inside are naturally the focus of attention.
There might be many reporters watching them. If there is news about someone meeting Frank at this time, people will soon think of whether he wants to interfere with the investigation and trial process.
This exposes the brokers and more.
For the brokers and the congressmen, this is something that is absolutely not allowed to happen!
The broker wanted to say something, but Frank interrupted him, "A promise!"
The broker shut his mouth.
Favors and promises, obviously the latter carries more weight, and this also means that if the other party makes any request, he cannot refuse and must complete it with all his strength!
The commitment of a consortium and a family that has served three presidents and intends to actively promote the fourth president is very important.
"Let me try...", the broker said and hung up the phone.
In fact, Frank has congressmen and senators he knows and can contact them, but at this time, he tries not to expose his side, and brokers are sometimes better to use.
They do not bear any responsibilities between the two parties and can shamelessly try their best to match up. This is an effect that cannot be achieved by using their own people.
In fact, there is no need to underestimate these brokers. Most of them were former senators, senior leaders of both parties, high-level government officials, and even the president himself.
After hanging up the phone, Frank began to wait for an opportunity.
Within two days, the senator, who was persuaded by the broker, agreed to meet with him. The only requirement was that the meeting location should be kept as secret as possible.
When the senator returned home in the evening, he was still thinking about the investigation team and Frank.
The broker was his good friend, and when he first mentioned the matter after finding him, he refused.
Because the power of the presidential office is too great now, and this monopoly investigation is obviously emotionally charged.
Hastily interrupting the investigation will only cause dissatisfaction from the presidential palace, and he does not want to retire so early.
But the persuasion of his friends convinced him——
"You're going to get a commitment from a consortium and a group of politicians with strong political backgrounds, and that's not a favor, it's a promise."
"No matter what you ask for, as long as they can do it, they will try their best to help you!"
"Even if you become a member of a big financial group!"
Anyway he was convinced.
As a senator, he can last four or six years, and then he will enter semi-retirement or announce his election for president.
Whether it is semi-retirement or electing the president, it will take time for him to get used to it, but now it seems that he has another option.
If you can join a large consortium as a political consultant, or simply become a shareholder or something...
The rest of his life won't be too boring.
I just don’t know how far Frank wants to go and what the attitude of the presidential office will be.
Just got home and had some food.
I have been conducting an investigation recently. Considering "security issues", his wife lives elsewhere and has a dedicated person to provide security. This is also the rules and regulations.
This is to prevent someone from holding members of Congress’ family members hostage during the investigation to achieve certain purposes.
So now there are only himself and the community servants during the day. The servants will prepare meals for him and he can just heat them up when he comes back.
Just after taking a bite of the barbecue, which didn't matter whether it was delicious or not, the doorbell suddenly rang.
He was stunned for a moment, walked to the living room and stopped, "Who is there?"
"Line technician, sir."
The congressman was very cautious. He walked to the shoe cabinet and opened the drawer. There was a pistol inside.
"I have not made an appointment for line maintenance. Are you looking at the wrong place?"
He already had the pistol in his hand. If the person outside the door tried to break in, he would shoot him twice.
The person outside the door probably didn't intend to do that because he had a way to get in.
"Sir, you forgot, you made an appointment two days ago, and the operator was...Mr."
The name of the broker was immediately clear to the congressman. He put the pistol in his pocket and opened the door.
Frank was standing outside the door, wearing maintenance clothes and carrying a tool box.
He seemed to be very into the role, "Please don't make an appointment so late next time..."
The councilman smiled and let him in.
The two went directly to the basement, which was safer and more private.
"I didn't expect you to come like this!"
Frank sighed, "There are people watching everywhere and I don't want anything to happen to anyone."
He paused, "Is there any chance of recovery now?"
The senator nodded, then shook his head, "At present, we don't have completely solid evidence, but there are too many off-site factors in this case."
"If we delay it any longer, I think something might happen."
In fact, the biggest change is people, insufficient evidence, and insufficient evidence chain. But if the suspect confesses himself, these problems will be solved.
Everyone has admitted it, so what evidence do you need?
It is perfectly fine to judge directly.
Frank understood that there was not much time left for him, "Pass a message to me, everything won't last long."
In fact, both sides are not optimistic about this matter, because if the initiator of this case does not compromise, the matter will not end.
Letting the president compromise would cost too much!
Frank was a little irritable, and after asking some other questions, he left quickly. He couldn't stay too long.
In fact, he hasn't made a final decision yet. He feels that he still has to talk to Mr. Trueman. Maybe his stance will be lower, his attitude will be better, and there will be some changes.
Early the next morning, the news was once again flooded with news.
Almost all media outlets are reporting on this.
A federal senator is suspected of infringing, harming, and illegally imprisoning women. Now three people are willing to come forward and accuse that senator!
The news shocked the entire federation!
As the highest administrative agency of the federal government, such an ugly scandal has actually occurred in Congress. This is no longer just a scandal.
This will turn into a political earthquake!
The victim came forward directly, without covering her face or changing her voice. She just sat in front of the TV and described in detail the process from simple body friction harassment to final abuse at work.
Comparable to a novel!
This also allowed people to see the terrifying methods of the senator, making those girls give in little by little, as if... taming them, and finally turning them into his playthings!
Fortunately, the victim came forward and the society was in an uproar.
The President of the Senate subsequently stated that he had suspended the work of changing the name of the senator and hoped that he would actively cooperate with the investigation.
In fact, at this point, Yuzi is basically dead, especially since his current female secretary also came forward and showed the traces of abuse on her body in front of the camera.
Like other victims, she started with simple physical touching and caressing, and ended up being violated and abused.
Feminist groups organized various demonstrations as if they were on drugs, believing that there must be more problems within Congress.
The speaker also said that in the next period of time, a comprehensive investigation will be conducted on members of Congress.
After Frank saw this, he thought it was a good thing at first.
Because those few victim ladies have successfully attracted the public's attention away from the monopoly investigation, the degree of attention to the monopoly investigation will be reduced, and some things will be easier to do.
But before he could be happy for long, his father called him and told him a very bad news!
"Several senators who have relations with us have submitted their resignation letters, and the speaker has approved them..."
"Our members in Congress have all been purged!"
"This is political strife!"
It is not an easy task to train so many senators, and now all the spokespersons of Jerry and the Dais Group in Congress are gone!
Their control and influence over Congress and the top political circles of the country has dropped to its lowest level ever!
And he also believes that this time the congressional issue will definitely not be an isolated incident, it is connected with the monopoly investigation!
