United states tax collector

Chapter 174 The fight begins

Soon, the two sides met each other, and David said directly: "Mr. Lawson, are you ready?"

Lawson rolled his eyes and asked, "You mean...?"

David made a gesture, and Nissen behind him immediately handed a file to Lawson, and Lawson immediately took it and opened it and looked at it.

As the contents of the document continued to emerge, Lawson's expression changed from calm at first to surprise, and finally to shock.

After that, he put down the document, looked at David and asked, "Tax Commissioner David, you are really powerful. You can even find out the people, details, and transactions involved in the Golden Ears Bridge repair project so clearly!"

"I need you to find a media platform as soon as possible to use this document to attack Stevenson. Can you do it?"

Lawson pondered for a moment and replied: "This is not difficult, but with this document alone, Stevenson's public relations ability can only make him fall into a storm of public opinion. It is not enough to really bring him down. !”

"I know, there's no rush, we'll do it one by one."

Lawson understood the meaning of David's words and immediately waved to the secretary not far away. When the secretary came up, he ordered: "Didn't KNPR-FM TV station invite me for more than a month? Tell me I can join them tonight!"

"I understand, Mr. Lawson, I will inform them immediately!"

David looked at Lawson and reminded: "Remember Mr. Lawson, this matter has nothing to do with me or our IRS. You obtained these information yourself. Do you understand?"

Lawson was startled, but soon understood what David meant.

David is trying to use him as a gunman!

But there was no way, his control was now in David's hand, and even if he was used as a gunman, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.

Then he nodded and replied: "I understand."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lawson, if you can handle this matter, if you need anything in the future, I will help you as much as possible within my ability!"

Hearing this, Lawson felt somewhat better.

But he soon began to think about it. David was a bit too smart and wise. If he could ask the other party to help him fight against his competitors, then the situation of the upper-ranking senator would be stable.

Of course, the main thing now is to help David get this done.

"It's up to you Mr. Lawson!"

After leaving these words, David turned and left. After returning to his car, he called Laurie: "Lieutenant Governor Laurie, the show is about to begin. You are in the state government, too. It’s time to start working properly.”

In the state government office, Laurie's expression turned serious when he heard this, and he replied: "So soon?"

Only yesterday morning, he called David and told him his decision to take a gamble.

What he didn't expect was that the decision was made only yesterday and he received such a notice today, which inevitably made him a little worried.

"There is an old saying in China, which is that soldiers are valuable and quick."

"alright, I got it!"

After ending the call with Laurie, David made another call to Aldington, also telling him to be prepared.

And because David held the handle, Aldington naturally did not dare to say anything and agreed directly.

"Tax Commissioner, this matter is not trivial. We...don't we need to inform Director Jon of the state bureau?"

After David finished talking to the two of them, Bucky asked cautiously.

In his opinion, it would be very troublesome if things went wrong if there was no strong high-level endorsement for such a big thing as moving the governor.

Although Nissen and Simmons on the side did not speak, they had the same thought.

"He doesn't need to know about this, and he doesn't want to know!"

Through many conversations, David already knew that the state director was a very smart man.

And this matter, strictly speaking, is a conflict between David's side and Stevenson's side.

It has nothing to do with the IRS.

So even if this thing succeeds, it won't be of much benefit to Jon. On the contrary, if it fails, it will get him into trouble.

Therefore, if David told the state director about this now, it would make the state director unhappy.

Governor's Mansion.

Eugene walked into Stevenson's office and said: "Governor, I just received a notice from the KNPR-FM TV station. At 7 o'clock tonight, Lawson will give an interview on their TV station, saying that he will give him the interview you gave him last month. Do the criticism in response!"

Upon hearing this, Stevenson's face darkened.

It's not just a day or two that the two have become bitter enemies, and whenever they catch each other's pigtails, they will choose to go on KNPR-FM to attack and criticize each other.

And just last month, Stevenson learned through channels that Lawson was extravagantly squandering campaign funds when canvassing for votes in various cities. For this, he severely criticized the opponent on this TV station.

Lawson finally suffered a loss and was a coward for more than a month, but he didn't expect that he would finally attack today.

Could it be...

What disclosures did you make recently, and the other party caught you?

After thinking about it, Stevenson couldn't think of anything. He could only look at Eugene and asked, "Have I made any mistakes recently?"

"At present, there is no such thing, but..."

"But what?"

"Governor, don't forget that a few days ago, David personally went to find Lawson. As a result, until today, Lawson suddenly wanted to be interviewed by KNPR-FM. Don't you think that... maybe Is there anything fishy?"

Upon hearing what Eugene said, Stevenson's expression suddenly became serious.

yes.

It has been several days, and there is no news from the IRS that they are going to deal with Lawson. Instead, Lawson is going on TV to respond to his criticism.

Could there be some secret deal between David and Lawson?

"Governor, when you went to Gavin yesterday, didn't you confirm that he did have some problems? If Lawson also has problems, it would be troublesome..."

Eugene's words made Stevenson feel a little heavier.

Yes, after a conversation with Gavin yesterday, even though Gavin tried to pretend that nothing happened, he still saw some problems keenly.

If Gavin really colluded with David, and now Lawson, these three forces are combined, although it is not yet known what they want to do.

But he must be plotting against him, Stevenson!

"We can't find anything now. Only when Lawson goes on the TV station in the evening will we know whether they are colluding together or trying to do something."

Stevenson nodded, and now he can only wait for Lawson to be interviewed in the evening to see what he will say.

The time came to 6.50pm.

At the Governor's Mansion, Stevenson immediately turned on the TV series.

At the Ninglin Branch, David and his team also stopped working and were ready to watch Lawson's performance.

Because the TV station used Lawson's response to Governor Stevenson's criticism in advance as a gimmick, the interview also attracted the attention of many citizens in Nevada.

Under the spotlight.

On the KNPR-FM TV station at this time.

"Mr. Lawson, you said tonight's interview will bring us big news, is that true?"

In the preparation area below the studio, the person in charge of the TV station came to Lawson and asked Lawson who was getting dressed.

"certainly!"

After being confirmed, the person in charge of the TV station immediately became happy. Lawson is a senatorial candidate. This so-called blockbuster news is naturally extraordinary. It is expected that it will definitely bring them huge traffic attention!

Soon, the time came to seven o'clock, and all the cameras were in place. Milton, the host of the interview, took the lead in walking in front of the camera. He first thanked everyone for paying attention to the opening remarks of this interview, and then turned around and made a greeting. He gestured and said: "Now, let's invite our guest tonight, Senator Candidate Lawson!"

The next second, the radiant Lawson walked forward holding several documents, waved to the camera, and said: "Hello, viewers, I am Lawson."

"Please sit down, Mr. Lawson!"

The host made a gesture to please sit down. After Lawson took his seat, he asked: "Mr. Lawson, the governor was interviewed by us last month. At that time, he pointed out that you went to various cities to waste campaign funds. , how are you going to respond to this matter today?"

"First of all, I have deeply felt wrong about the extravagance and waste, so in the following days, I specifically ordered the people around me to pay attention to this..."

Speaking of which, Lawson took out one of the several documents he had brought, spread it out in front of the camera, and said: "This is a breakdown of all the expenditures of our team since Mr. Governor's criticism. We After comparison, it is lower than the current monthly expenditure of more than half of the senatorial candidates in the country."

"Okay Mr. Lawson, your fund details are indeed the best response to Mr. Governor. I think Mr. Governor may also be watching the show at this time, and he should also be satisfied with your fund details! "

"Maybe, Mr. Governor may be satisfied with my fund details after his criticism, but... I am not satisfied with some of the governor's irregularities!"

As soon as these words came out, host Milton's expression changed slightly.

The person in charge of the TV station and other senior executives below also looked solemn in an instant.

At the same time, other citizens who were watching the interview were in an uproar.

Lawson and Stevenson have been at each other's throats for more than a day or two, but the two sides have always been just talking. You criticize me and I scold you.

But now, Lawson actually used the word 'violation', which is unusual.

You know, Stevenson is the governor of Nevada. If he violates the rules, he will be criminally responsible!
