United states tax collector

"Yeah!"

David raised the corner of his mouth slightly and replied: "We'll see if you can get out of here alive!"

"You bastard, we're about to get a presidential pardon, and you're going to be screwed when we get out!"

Perhaps he was carried away by anger or David's ridicule. At this time, in order to vent, Mariano also directly told this matter that was still confidential and conspiratorial.

When David heard this, his expression froze slightly.

According to the Constitution of the United States, the president does have the power to pardon any prisoner in the United States who has violated the law.

This also includes prisoners in their IRS custody.

In other words, if the president really issues this executive order, then both he and the IRS are legally required to comply with it.

After all, the president is the highest executive in the United States.

No matter how powerful the IRS is. From a constitutional perspective, the president's executive order cannot be rejected.

"So that's it..."

David suddenly understood. He said that in court and after entering prison, how could the Thacker family act like dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water?

At that time, he was still guessing, what gave them the courage?

Now it seems that he probably got some people to send him a signal of presidential pardon, which is why they are so emboldened even if they go to jail!

"hehe."

David sneered again: "President's pardon? Are you sure that his order can be issued before we talk about it!"

The purpose of coming here today.

In fact, I just want to cure the arrogance of these three people before and just give them a sigh of relief.

Now that the goal has been achieved, David felt that it was time to leave, and immediately stopped talking nonsense to them, stood up and left.

After David left the interview room, Arthur grabbed Christian by the collar and yelled angrily: "You are such an idiot, how could you tell this matter now!"

As David said before, a presidential pardon can allow them to come out, but it must be ordered.

Now that this conspiracy has been known to David, if David really wants to forcefully intervene, who can guarantee that this presidential pardon order will be issued?

If it really cannot be issued.

Then not only would they lose all their assets, but they would also have to live in jail. This would be a loss to grandma’s family!

At this time, Mariano also realized that he had made a mistake, and his heart was full of regret. However, the words had already been spoken, and no matter how much he regretted, it would not help. He could only accept the bitter consequences silently.

On the way back to the IRS in Los Angeles, Nissen, who was driving the vehicle, couldn't help but said: "You think this president is not really going to order an amnesty for them, right?"

"The fact that the Sackler family is able to hook up with Governor Borgwana shows that his network of relationships is still somewhat complicated. It would be hard to say if the gangsters behind him really go to the White House and turn a deaf ear to him."

"Yes, this is a bit difficult to deal with. If these guys are really pardoned by the president, then we will be slapped in the face."

Bucky Simmons, who came with him, also spoke separately.

At this time, David remained silent and looked out the window thoughtfully.

EW is currently at war, and the White House has long expressed its attitude to support the W side, but supporting the W side requires a lot of funds, which is why the White House has commended him many times.

It can be seen from this that the White House needs him now, because currently in the entire United States, it is obvious that only he can come up with such a large sum of money to use as a fund to support the W side.

In other words, the White House should not dare to offend him easily.

However, in order to prevent any accidents, David still felt that he should communicate with the senior management about this matter, and then he took out his mobile phone.

At the same time, IRS headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Obadiah, Donald, and many senior officials of the IRS were still immersed in the joy of the handover of the Sackler family's assets and the announcement of the huge delay payment by UBS Group.

At this moment, Donald felt the vibration of his cell phone in his pocket. When he took it out, when he saw that the caller ID was David's number, he immediately picked it up and said, "Tell me David."

"As for the assets of the Sackler family, indeed as the Swiss Bank said, they have now been remitted to accounts in the United States, totaling 17.83 billion U.S. dollars, and they have all been frozen by us."

David's report on the other end of the phone made the senior executives at the scene feel a little more happy.

17.8 billion, plus the 8.2 billion delay fee from Swiss Bank, this is 26 billion.

This is another huge tax bill received by the IRS after Hollywood’s tax audit.

"Very good, very powerful. It seems that we, the Internal Revenue Service, will have another big credit for you, David!"

After the joy, a calmer Donald said.

"By the way, Deputy Director Donald, I got a piece of news from the Sackler family. I want to ask you if you know anything about it."

"what news?"

"According to what he said, it seems that someone is helping them run the president's pardon for them?"

"What, is there such a thing?"

As soon as this statement came out, Donald and the IRS who were listening were a little surprised.

They really haven't heard about this, and haven't even received any news!

But having said that, now the White House obviously relies on the IRS, and if it pardons the prisoners arrested and detained by the IRS, what is the difference between this and a slap in the face?

The White House wouldn't be stupid enough to do this, would it?

"They said it themselves, and they still looked confident after being sentenced and even after entering prison. I think this is not nonsense."

Listening to David's words, Donald paused for a moment, and then replied: "Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter, just leave it to us, and you can continue with the follow-up work."

"Understood!"

After ending the call, Donald looked at all the senior executives and asked, "Have you heard it? I wonder what everyone's opinion is on this matter?"

"I think unless the White House loses its head, it will never dare to go against our IRS at this time."

"The White House does not dare to go against our IRS, but since the Sackler family can hook up with Borgwana, with Borgwana's energy, if they can persuade the Freemasons to operate this matter... then It’s hard to guarantee that the White House will not waver.”

"You're right, the Thacker family is nothing to worry about, and the White House is unlikely to go against us for them. It's just that the Freemasons will get involved in bad things..."

"The Swiss Bank incident has obviously made the Freemasons dissatisfied, because this group of people has too much money there. If they really want to retaliate against us and run the Sackler family and be pardoned, this will never It makes sense logically..."

"..."

The opinions of all the senior officials present were basically the same, that is, if the Freemasons really get involved in the operation, it is really hard to say whether the White House will issue this order.

At this point, Donald and even Obadiah couldn't sit still.

There are indeed pros and cons in this matter for Swiss Bank. The pros are of course that the IRS has made a lot of money, but the cons is that it has incurred the dissatisfaction of the Freemasons.

And as one of their colleagues said just now, it would make sense if this group of people insisted on running the Sackler family to be pardoned as revenge or a blow to their IRS.

Thinking of this, Obadiah couldn't sit still, so he stood up and said: "Deputy Director Donald, come with me to the White House."

He wanted to test the tone of the White House, or in other words, to hammer it, so that the White House would not do anything unfavorable to the IRS.

White House.

Presidential Chief of Staff Wilder was handling things in his office when there was a knock on the door and his assistant walked in and said: "Mr. Wilder, Director Obadiah and Deputy Director Donald of the Internal Revenue Service are here. , said he wanted to see you."

"Let them come."

A few minutes later, Obadiah Donald walked in.

Seeing the two people coming in, Wilder smiled as if he were seeing his biological father, and said: "Director Obadiah and Deputy Director Donald, the president is very happy about this matter about the Swiss Bank and is preparing for it. I’ll take the time to call you for a chat in two days.”

The White House's most important task now is to promote the W aid bill, and now Swiss Bank has announced that it will pay $8.2 billion in delay fees.

This money, coupled with the assets of the Sackler family, plus the huge amount of tax collected from the previous Hollywood tax clearance, will make the chances of passing the W bill even greater.

"Really? Then I'll be waiting for you. But the main reason I came here today is to understand one thing."

Obadiah's words made Wilder a little confused, and he immediately asked: "What happened?"

"I heard that some people behind the Sackler family plan to help them obtain a presidential pardon. I wonder if the White House has received news of this?"

"Amnesty?"

Wilder was startled, then immediately shook his head and said: "Director Obadiah, I can tell you responsibly that we at the White House have not received any information about this, and even if we had, we would not consider it. About the amnesty.”

For Wilder to be able to reach the position of White House Chief of Staff, his mind is naturally not simple.

He knew very well that if the White House really ordered a pardon for the Sacklers, it would be a slap in the face of the IRS.

At this stage, they urgently need the IRS to collect funds for their bill, and they must not offend the IRS.

"That's good, Mr. Wilder, but I want to remind you first that the White House has not received the news now, but it may soon, and as far as we know, this group of people is not simple. We hope that the White House will Don’t waver, otherwise it will damage the dignity of our IRS.”

Donald's words seemed to be just a reminder, but in fact they already had the flavor of a knock.

Wilder naturally heard it, and at this time he also frowned, because he had already heard that the amnesty matter may not only involve the Sackler family, but may also involve some deeper forces. The wrestling of, say, Freemasonry!

Yes, if the Sackler family wants to operate the presidential pardon, then the White House can naturally do nothing. If it involves the operation of the Freemasons, then it seems a bit difficult for the White House to do so.

After all, the influence of this group of people is huge, and the White House has to be wary of it.

"Don't worry, you two. The IRS is loyal to the country, and we certainly won't let you down."

Wilder decided not to worry about it and appease the IRS first.

"That's good."

"Oh, by the way, I already know that Swiss banks have to pay 8.24 billion in late fees, but what is the amount of assets handed over to the Sackler family?"

Wilder asked, changing the subject.

"According to David, the total number is 17.8 billion."

"17.8 billion!"

Upon hearing this number, Wilder's eyes immediately lit up, and then he said: "Very good, please help me send a message to your Director David when I get back, saying that we in the White House are grateful for his contribution." ”

"Okay Mr. Wilder, if there is nothing else, we will go back to work first."

The two of them came here to persuade the White House not to pursue the idea of ​​amnesty for the Sackler family. Now that their goal has been achieved, there is no need to stay any longer.

"Wait a minute, you two..."

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Obadiah Donald all turned their heads, as if they were all ears.

"Your tax audit on Hollywood, plus the funds from the Sackler family and Swiss banks, you should have more than 50 billion in your tax treasury now, right?"

Obadiah and Donald looked at each other meaningfully, and then the former said: "That's about it. What's wrong, Mr. Wilder?"

“Have you ever heard of the W aid bill?”

"I've heard something about it, does it mean that this bill is about to be approved?"

"Yes, I can tell you now that the aid funds for this bill are initially targeted at 100 billion U.S. dollars, so... we hope that the IRS can raise this fund as soon as possible. If this bill is passed, the White House will I will thank you very much.”

Obadiah showed a trace of embarrassment on his face and said: "Let me just say this, Mr. Wilder, now the whole world knows that our IRS has a huge sum of money, and this huge sum of money has not been budgeted. So to be honest, people from the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Justice, and even the FBI and CIA have come to us and want to get more budgets. If they all give the W aid bill by then, this will probably cause various problems. The department is dissatisfied.”

Wilder frowned slightly, and then said: "Well, I will take time out in the next few days to talk to various departments. It will not affect the relationship between your IRS and various departments."

"All right."

Naturally, the IRS doesn't want to be a scoundrel. If the White House takes over and takes over, they won't mind if the funds are used for the W aid bill.
