Reborn in 2000 as a scholar

If it is said that the group of people who are most anxious about Lin Jinqi being taken away by the federal government are none other than members of Lin Jinqi's team, then who is the second most anxious?That is the state government of New Jersey and the city government of Princeton.According to the laws and regulations of the United States, the federal government of the United States and the state governments of each state are equal, but according to laws and bills such as the Constitution and the Amendment, the state government transfers part of its power to the federal government.However, the "Tenth Amendment to the United States" clearly stipulates, "The powers not delegated to the federal government by this document, nor prohibited to the states, are reserved to the states, or to the people." This amendment except In addition to extending the practice of "the law can be exercised without express prohibition", it also gives the state governments the power to challenge the federal government.

For New Jersey, Lin Jinqi himself and his Regulus laboratory have always been here, so the state government and the Princeton city government have received a lot of tax revenue and employment.In the United States, there are two basic options for voters to evaluate the government: "employment" and "welfare"; and "welfare" is related to the tax situation of the place.Therefore, to a certain extent, Lin Jinqi can be said to be the "golden father" of New Jersey and Princeton.

You must know that next to New Jersey is the largest metropolitan area in the world-the New York metropolitan area. There are advantages and disadvantages to having such a huge metropolitan area next to it.The advantage is that it is backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade, but the disadvantage is that the entire surrounding cities of the New York metropolitan area will be blood-sucked by New York, and eventually become a satellite city of New York.Especially for the state government of New Jersey, New York is simply a gadfly lying on itself and wantonly sucking blood.Because New York sucked all the high-level labor force out of New Jersey and squeezed out their tax revenue; while the New Jersey state government got nothing, on the contrary, it had to accept the low-level labor force and even the homeless who were eliminated by New York.At the same time, with the influx of a large number of working-class and low- and middle-income earners in New York City, it is equivalent to raising the price level in New Jersey in disguise, so ordinary people who lived well in New Jersey suddenly found that their income has become worthless. .

These people will not blame New York City, but will only vent their anger on the New Jersey government.Therefore, New Jersey needs Jinqi Lin and his company so much.Because this is a company rooted in New Jersey, its taxes and employment are state government.Just as the federal and state governments are parallel and equal, so are the federal and state judicial systems.

Typically, as long as no federal felony is involved, the vast majority of cases are resolved within the state judicial system.Of course, as the defendant continues to appeal, he will naturally enter the federal judicial system.But this kind of case that bypasses the state judicial system and directly enters the federal judicial system is a bit embarrassing to the state judicial system. Therefore, when Jerry asked his team to apply for a writ of habeas corpus in the Princeton District Court, the judges approved it quickly. Still fast.

Although the judicial system in the United States is independent, and judges generally exist aloofly, they also know how important Lin Jinqi is to New Jersey, especially since the federal judicial system handles cases so uncleanly, the state judicial system will naturally not help. up.The lawyers who got the writ of habeas corpus immediately contacted Jerry.

At this time, Jerry was arguing with the federal prosecutors in the New York office of the FBI. Since Lin Jinqi was being tried by the federal judicial system this time, the federal prosecutors were naturally in charge of the prosecution.Because Lin Jinqi refused to sign the plea agreement, and Jerry sneered at that agreement after reading it.Judging from the available evidence, Lin Jinqi can't meet the "conspiracy crime" charged by the federal government at all. Even Jerry suspects that the federal prosecutor who filed the complaint and the federal judge who signed the arrest warrant have their heads caught in the door.And when the federal prosecutor threatened to put Lin Jinqi in the immigration prison, Jerry was annoyed.

"Your Excellency, Prosecutor, have you forgotten that my client is a foreigner with 'permanent residency'? He neither came to the United States illegally, nor stayed in the United States for longer than the specified time. What right do you have to put him in the United States?" The prison of the Immigration Department?" Jerry sneered, "Let's put everything on the table, you just want to use the Immigration Department's prison as an extremely inconvenient place to summon and meet. And who is detained in the Immigration Department , Do you think I don’t know? Your Excellency, the prosecutor, I have heard of and have some evidence of the shady things you did in the prisons of the Immigration Department. I don’t want to entangle you in this regard, but if you dare to violate the regulations, you will If my client is thrown into the prison of the Immigration Department, then I can't guarantee what kind of revelations will be received by the "New York Times" and the CBS TV network tomorrow. Think about it, in the United States, the people know that there is such a dirty trick What do you think the people will think? Once this becomes a big scandal, who do you think your boss will push out as a 'scapegoat'? Your Excellency, we have evidence that this is a witch hunt. If you If you don't want to be in the same boat, I suggest you better start thinking about how to get yourself out of this prosecution. Once your resume is labeled as 'politician accomplice', your legal career is almost over. gone."

Facing the accusation of Jerry's unyielding attitude, the federal prosecutor also flinched a bit.Now that the defense has caught evidence of political persecution, the prosecution is naturally clearer.These prosecutors are all newly joined members in the past two or three years, and they have been sacrificed as cannon fodder by their boss since they were assigned to this case.It's just that they are unwilling to become cannon fodder, so under the connivance of their superiors, they want to use the gray edge of the law to find a way out for themselves.It's a pity that what they are facing is Jerry, who has defended various people in Los Angeles for more than ten years. He has long been aware of the methods played by the government, so he doesn't care the least.In Jerry's view, as long as Lin Jinqi stays in his sight, the government has no way to force Lin Jinqi to confess.

Just when the prosecution and the defense were in an embarrassment, the junior lawyers sent by Jerry to apply for the writ of habeas corpus finally arrived.Jerry slapped the writ of habeas corpus issued by the Princeton magistrate on the table, demanding that the FBI release Lin Jinqi immediately.Although both the FBI and the Federal Prosecutor are affiliated with the Federal Department of Justice, they are two parallel departments after all and are not affiliated with each other. The FBI took a great risk to cooperate with the federal prosecutors to arrest Lin Jinqi this time, which is considered to be extremely cooperative, and now it will naturally not violate the habeas corpus signed by the judge.The arresting police officer patted Brutal on the shoulder and told Jean to go through the release procedures.

At this time, Lin Jinqi was sitting in the interrogation room, accompanied by another lawyer from Jerry's team, staring at the prosecutor.Since the Fifth Amendment to the United States stipulates the "right to silence" that "citizens do not have to testify against themselves", Lin Jinqi is using this right reasonably when accompanied by a lawyer.If the lawyer is not present, FBI agents may use some torture methods on the fringes of the law.However, in the eyes of these veteran lawyers, these methods are all kinds of violations. If you don't pay attention, you will be invited to drink coffee by the internal affairs investigation department.The reason why American police dare to use violence against people of color is because people of color are either too poor to hire good lawyers, or they don’t understand the twists and turns inside the US police.Don't look at the domineering American police, who can draw their guns and shoot at any time in the face of danger.But they are also afraid of their internal internal affairs investigation department. Once they are approached by the internal affairs investigation department, at least all hopes of promotion and salary increase in the past few years will be wiped out, and at worst, they may have to take off their police uniforms and even lose their pensions.

"Dr. Lin, we can go now." Jerry and the FBI officer opened the door of the interrogation room, and Jerry said, "Doctor, did they torture you physically or mentally? If so, we You can file a complaint or even sue them immediately. I guarantee that those present will not have to wear this police uniform again after the lawsuit is over."

Jerry's words made several police officers present nervous for a while. Although the so-called high-income earners in the United States are so-called lawyers, doctors, and accountants, civil servants like police officers are actually not bad.Although the income of civil servants is not high, it is stable, and the benefits and pensions are leveraged.Moreover, for such a high-risk occupation as the police, the city government generally provides some additional subsidies.For example, if the family members of police officers do not have a job, they can enjoy higher tax rebates and housing subsidies; children of police officers have special sponsorship for public schools, etc.So for some people who are not particularly educated, the police is a good job.Moreover, Americans have very little savings. If they are fired, they will inevitably have a bankruptcy crisis in less than a month.In particular, the potential benefits of medical insurance and pensions for the police are so high that most police officers are unwilling to be fired unless it is absolutely necessary.

"It's okay, we just sat like this for almost an hour, and then I drank two cups of their instant coffee. It's a pity that the taste is not very good." Lin Jinqi teased a few words.Although Lin Jinqi was angry, he didn't want to be angry with these little guys.

"Then let's go." Jerry also said in passing, so that the group of FBI police officers would not be so blind to make trouble for him next time. "Actually, you should drink more cups of coffee. Those coffees are bought with your tax money." Jerry made a small joke.

Lin Jinqi got into the car of Jerry's team and returned to his office.Tom and Catherine also came back at this time, Catherine saw Lin Jinqi and said a little cautiously: "Sir, there are several senior members of the Republican Party who are willing to speak for us in the media, but they want to know what we need to criticize. What you say is not good for the development of the situation.”

"Political framing and racial persecution." Lin Jinqi coldly threw out the two key words.

Although the so-called equality in the United States is to fool the common people, there are still many express regulations in the law anyway.In particular, racial issues are basically a high-voltage line, and even conservative and extreme politicians dare not challenge this red line in public.The political framing of Lin Jinqi was true, and the blue donkey did a very dirty job this time, so it was quickly caught by Lin Jinqi.I believe that the red elephant is also happy to see the success, so he pushes the blue donkey to the front to use it as a knife.As for racial persecution, it’s not enough, but now is the time when racial issues are absolutely politically correct, and Lin Jinqi also happens to be of Asian descent, so this statement is really yellow mud for the US government.

"What about the NAACP and the ACLU?"

"Of course there is no problem with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). After all, they are the largest non-profit organizations we sponsor." Catherine assured.
