Chapter 954 Reality
Issuing a written report and signing it means that Dave is responsible for his judgment because the report will be retained as a record.
That is to say, Dave believes that everything Yang Yi said is true and hides something, but this is human nature, but it is enough that everything he said is true, and he is willing to take responsibility for his own judgment and responsibility. direct responsibility.
But after Potter thought for a long time, he gently shook his head.
"There is no need to write a report because there will be no documentation."
After Porter finished speaking calmly, he waved his hand and said: "Delete all the recordings of the conversation, do not keep files, and do not show them to anyone."
Dave was taken aback, and he whispered: "Sir, isn't this bad..."
Porter seemed a little hesitant. He stood up and left his office chair. After walking a few steps back and forth in the room, he shook his head and said, "Yes, you can't delete it. You have to keep the file, but don't hand it over." In the archives, except for the three of us and one Walter, don’t let anyone see the video.”
Dave was also hesitant, but he was Potter's confidant and confidant, so he had to say something. If he didn't say it, no one would tell Potter.
"Sir, do you plan to hide this matter? I mean, hide Mr. Haye's order, and also hide the existence of Poseidon?"
Potter whispered: "You have a different opinion?"
Dave said without hesitation: "We should report it to the director and leave this matter to him. This matter involves a... deputy director. Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, this matter should be left to the director to handle."
Potter smiled bitterly and sighed.
Dave also wanted to persuade his old superior, the superior who single-handedly promoted him.
"Boss, you can't take this matter on your own. Even if you want to investigate... another officer, it should be the director's business. In the end, this matter should still fall on you, but you have to report it. .”
Porter sighed, looked at Dave, and then at Coit who said nothing, and then he said in a deep voice: "Since the 9/11 incident, the performance of the CIA can be summed up in one word, incompetence! Yes, the performance of the CIA since the beginning of the new century can be described as incompetent. People will not remember what we have done, but people will remember that the CIA has done nothing over the years, allowing the United States to suffer an attack more disastrous than World War II. So... …What’s the problem?”
Dave and Coit didn't speak. It wasn't that they didn't know the problem, but they couldn't say it.
Porter sighed again and said: "We all know where the problem lies, that is, laymen leading insiders. Look at who the CIA directors have been over the years. They are all people trusted by the president and liked by every president who takes office. He put the people he trusted into the CIA as director, but they are not professional at all. Our director is a general, general..."
Shaking his head, Porter said with a helpless look: "We all know that the director will not be able to serve for much longer. The performance of the CIA is a joke. The continuous failures, failure after failure, especially the recent blow in Ukraine, let us The director has lost face in front of the president, which means it’s time for our director to change again.”
Spreading his hands, Porter said with a heavy face: "I have been engaged in intelligence all my life. I have worked in the CIA my whole life to reach my current position, and I know that the position of CIA director will not be given to me, Aaron. What? He also got to where he is today step by step. He is a spy. He has been engaged in field work. He has rich experience and wide connections. More than half of the people in the CIA are his direct subordinates."
Dave also looked helpless. He whispered: "Sir, we can wait for the new director to take office."
Potter smiled and said: "The new director has taken office? Can it change the status quo? We don't need evidence. As long as we think Aaron may really be a mole, then we can investigate. This order should have been issued by the director. Yes, but the question is, can this order be concealed once it is issued? For such a serious problem, the director will report it to the president, and finally launch an investigation under the president's instruction. Aaron's work may be stopped first according to the regulations, but... it makes sense ?"
Dave looked desperate and said, "If we stop Aaron's work first and then launch an investigation, nothing will be gained, and we won't get any evidence."
Porter returned to his chair and sat down. He said solemnly: "Yes, it won't make any sense. The director will change. If he doesn't work for two or three years, he will change the director. But Aaron will always be there." Now, I will always be here. We are the ones who really do things in the CIA, and we are the ones who really hold the power. If Aaron knows that he is under investigation, then he has the strength and time to eliminate all evidence. The most terrifying thing is …”
What is the most terrifying thing? The most terrifying thing is that Aaron has the greatest power and the strongest strength of the CIA.
The CIA has tens of thousands of people. The number of field agents sent to various countries, that is, spies in the traditional sense, is one of the biggest secrets of the United States, but it is conservatively estimated to be more than 20,000, and these people are under the direct command of Aaron. If Yaron What would happen if Lun knew that he was under investigation, or that he felt threatened, and then directly resisted out of desperation?
The CIA will suffer the biggest blow since its establishment, a blow that will make it unable to recover, and a devastating blow.
Don’t forget that Aaron is the mole of the Soviet Union. He is a mole, a traitor, and a traitor. What can’t he do to get rid of him?
Either Aaron should be taken down in one fell swoop without giving him any chance to resist, or he should never be allowed to know that he was under investigation, and he should never be allowed to know.
No one talks about the terrible consequences, but it goes without saying that anyone with a brain knows how terrible the worst consequences are.
What's even more frightening is that with the current situation of the CIA, it is difficult to keep any real secrets.
Porter looked sad and whispered: "I understand why Mr. Haye went to the UK to find someone who was not a spy to investigate Aaron, and why he refused to select someone from within the CIA to do this, because a person with nothing Foreign young people who understand are more reliable than our elite agents, because if we select people from within to investigate this matter, the result will probably be that we will never have the chance to reveal the truth. We..., we..."
Porter couldn't speak anymore. He sighed. After a long pause, he finally said sadly: "It was the corruption and absolute power of the FBI that prompted the establishment of the CIA. During the Cold War, the CIA was the most important person in the world. The most powerful intelligence agency in the world, but after the end of the Cold War, we lost our biggest opponent and fell into decay. So after 9/11, the Department of Homeland Security was established. Gentlemen, this is the reality. If we don’t make changes, we will That’s it!”
