Chapter 1230 Power
"Any news has its purpose!"

In one sentence, the essence and purpose of news are clearly stated!
When various newspapers in the state are reporting these news, it also indicates that something must be happening!
As a lawyer, Hicks knew very well what consequences he would face if he confessed, so from the beginning, he did not consider admitting these things.

"Now we face two problems..."

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

There is almost nothing to hide here, just to ensure that no one will eavesdrop here, and no one will know what the people inside are talking about.

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

For Hicks to win, one of his main jobs will be to persuade the capitalists who employ thousands to take their side.

In the federal political arena, this kind of behavior is called "lobbying". As for the interest transactions generated in the lobbying, if they are not ignored, they must be legal.

Sometimes federal laws and various rules are so magical. While they have an anti-official crime investigation department, they also try to provide a reasonable cloak for those criminal acts.

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

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

He thought everything was safe, until he got up this morning and saw the newspaper. He didn't even have the mood to eat breakfast, so he found Hicks in his office.

He looked at Hicks with a serious expression, "The first question is, what kind of relationship do you have with that female cousin? Will it affect the future plans?"

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

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

The person in charge of the campaign office nodded, "Yes, you have to answer!"

Hicks walked back and forth a few steps, with a sad face and a little embarrassment, "The relationship between me and that woman... I, is relatively simple, it is a transaction of money and happiness, but the way is a little special..."

The person in charge of the office did not expect such an answer, and he subconsciously said, "Did you abuse her or did you play role-playing games, mother and 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 towards violence, and role-playing is even more problematic.

People are always selfish, people want everyone but themselves to be perfect, they wouldn't want a mentally ill person to be governor!

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

The person in charge of the campaign office raised his hand to cover his face, and then he walked back and forth behind the desk with his waist pinched. He just sat down, but couldn't help standing up again, with one hand propped on the table, and the other pointing at the hopeful. Max, "You didn't tell the chairman or the whip about these things!"

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

With him, these resources have the possibility of being realized in some ways in order to reap huge profits.

It is precisely because of such a deep political background that he knows that if the Conservative Party Committee knows that Hicks has such a problem, they will definitely not let Hicks stand up!

Some people say that the federal election is "God's magnifying glass". Even a small flaw, such as farting in a public place, will be found out and announced to the public!
This is no longer a small problem, it is a big problem. If he had explained these things, the Conservative Party would not have chosen someone as flawed as him to run against Trish in the first place.

With the last ten-thousandth hope in his heart, he asked, "When you played those perverted games... did you leave any photos or something?"

Hicks was silent and didn't answer. The guy opposite him pushed some documents on the table to the ground.

"Damn!", he growled loudly, "Damn!", and repeated.

Hicks hastily added, "Only I have those photos, and no one else knows about them except you."

The person in charge of the campaign office shook his head, and he sat down on the chair, feeling an urge to give up, "Is it not a problem, you know?"

"As long as the woman says you've taken pictures, they'll find enough 'photos' to show the public."

"Maybe it's just a photo of a female cousin and a butt, no one wants to know if that person is you, they only care if the headline of the news is you!"

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

For example, they believe that after a person holds a Bible and swears that he will never tell a lie, he really will not tell a lie. How stupid is this, and how naive would they believe that people will not lie because of religious factors?
The jury believed it. It can be said that the jury's education level is not high, and the occult and religion have more influence on them.

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

Once that woman holds up a Bible and says she's not lying, the populace gravitates toward her testimony, which is fatal.

No one thought that such a perfect looking person would have so many problems.

He asked again, "Is your account safe?"

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

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

He paused, "You'd better tell the party whip now and wait for the news. During this period, you'd better pray that our opponent just wants you to give up the election, 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 allegation!

Tax evasion in the federal government is a felony, and even if you pay less than one dollar in taxes, you may encounter very serious consequences!
This is not a joke. Some businessmen were fined to go bankrupt because they failed to declare tens of dollars. People hate taxes so much, but they don’t take more drastic actions, probably because of the “fairness” of the tax system.

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

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

Only in this way can they be satisfied spiritually.

When a gubernatorial candidate is exposed about tax issues, even without pressure from big names, it can quickly become a social issue.

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

The problems encountered by Hicks were quickly communicated within the party. The chairman of the Conservative Party Committee also commented a little bit, hoping that everyone will abide by the federal laws, and of course hope that the Federal Taxation Service will not mess around without evidence. Come.

At the same time, I also hope that the federal law will punish the rumormongers. People do have the right to express their subjective wishes at any time and any place, but if it violates the law, the speaker should be held accountable for what he said!

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

Hicks directly reported the situation he was facing to the party whip. Generally, issues such as party discipline were in his charge. Only after the party became the ruling party would his scope of authority extend from within the party to the entire Federation. society.

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

So this is why it is said that the party whips of the ruling party are the top three figures, while the party whips of non-ruling parties are not ranked in the top ten.

After the party whip learned of the news, he immediately notified the chairman of the party committee, and then they figured out some things.

In fact, it is not complicated to find out who is in the layout operation. The person who wants Hicks to withdraw and ultimately benefit must be the instigator behind the scenes.

It seems that Ms. Tracy obviously meets all the conditions, but this woman does not have such abilities in some aspects, so they got the list of political donations made by Ms. Tracy since she ran for governor.

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

They quickly locked on some of the targets, finally screened out the most likely people, and then arranged for people to test their words.

By evening, Lynch was the only name left on the list.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, when Lynch was about to go to bed, the phone rang unexpectedly.

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

He was lying on the bed, "I'm Lynch..."

The caller is Hicks, which is more sincere, "Mr. Lynch, hello, I'm Hicks..."

Lynch frowned slightly, and directly interrupted Hicks, "Sorry, Mr. Hicks, I don't know you, and I've already rested now. If you have anything to do, we'll meet again tomorrow during the daytime." How about talking?"

There was a few seconds of dead silence on the phone, and then Hicks said with a forced smile, "Of course, I'm very sorry for interrupting your rest, Mr. Lynch, and we'll talk tomorrow during the day."

The corner of Lynch's mouth slightly √, "Then good night, Mr. Hicks."

"Good night, Mr. Lynch!"
