Chapter 627 Congressional sniping, serial outbreaks
Remember in one second, read wonderful novels for free without pop-ups!
The deputy director's words were also very decent, and he sincerely claimed that this was just a misunderstanding.
The CIA never wanted to undermine the separation of powers, nor did it ever try to weaken Congress' rights.
Those so-called computer searches are just "technical testing and protection", and the original files have never been damaged...
After the Deputy Director held a press conference in the morning, the situation seemed to be calm.
His Excellency President Bush called Sheldon, but mainly for comfort and strategic guidance.
President Bush believes that this is just an ordinary political struggle, and there is currently no evidence of impeachment by Congress to reorganize the cabinet.
"Those old foxes in Congress want to fight with us, but they are still a little short of time!"
Sheldon hung up the phone and sneered:
"The Congress cannot get enough chips! Moreover, the court may not be there."
"The court's investigation will take at least three months, and this period is enough for us to eliminate relevant evidence."
Several deputy directors and other senior executives present showed a smug smile and nodded.
Sheldon's face suddenly became cold, no longer as elegant as before, but his eyes were so sinister and cruel that it was as if he had chosen someone and devoured the evil wolf:
"Dian Feinstein is a stinky woman, she is just a vicious dog. She keeps staring at our CIA and biting wildly! It's really hateful!"
"Investigate her, use non-staff funds and personnel, and I will kill her at all costs! Dig out all her black material, including sex scandals!"
"Yes!" A senior agent took the order and left.
Sheldon had the power to overwhelm the sea with his command.
Suddenly, hundreds of hidden special forces personnel were moved and began to investigate Diane Feinstein and others.
Seeing this scene, Colonel Miller was extremely impressed and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and silently praise.
Ginger is the hottest thing, Sheldon is the real old fox.
But at this time, a long-simmering heavy news broke out again.
It was like a thunderclap that hit Hilton with a bang, almost blowing him to pieces.
Before getting off work in the afternoon, Diane Feinstein summoned the media again to throw a bombshell, and cooperated with her with a former CIA level 10 agent Jones.
Diane Feinstein directly released a 3,000-page investigation report, directly accusing the CIA of abuse of prisoners of war.
The report claims that the investigation began in 2006 and the investigation incident lasted for more than four years. In the past four years, under the instructions of Sheldon, CIA agents used "rectal water supply", "Murphy's drip", "sleep deprivation", and "electric drills"
Inhumane abuse of 213 prisoners of war and enemy intelligence personnel, such as abuse, and "sexual assault on brooms".
The report also released relevant videos and photos.
As soon as this news came out, it caused a thousand waves, and the world was in an uproar and righteous indignation.
The United States' military institutions and consulates around the world are on level one alert to prevent retaliation and violent attacks.
Moreover, the report was released, even the relations between some allied countries were seriously damaged.
"Isn't the United States a country known as human rights? Where is human rights?" A senior official from the British MI5 spoke angrily.
"What the CIA does seriously undermines the Declaration of Human Rights they adhere to, and it is tantamount to slapping himself in the face!"
A senior Russian KGB intelligence official shouted in the media.
The world's great powers are not a monolithic one. In fact, there are more internal struggles, including the US-Soviet battle for hegemony before, and the Cold War that lasted for many years.
These major powers arranged a large number of agents to steal each other's intelligence.
Of course, many intelligence personnel were also arrested and imprisoned.
At this time, I saw my intelligence personnel being abused so much.
Many senior officials in these countries can no longer sit still, putting pressure on the United States and strongly condemn it.
The international human rights institutions were also indignant and filed a lawsuit in the US court, demanding the arrest of Sheldon and investigating the CIA's vicious incident of abuse of prisoners of war and intelligence personnel.
"I support Congress's investigation! Sheldon must step down! He is the biggest threat to American security!"
Not only is there a lot of pressure abroad, but there are even a large number of people who are in the same camp as Sheldon and President Bush, there are also a large number of people who cross-party support Diane Feinstein's report.
These Republicans, who had participated in the Vietnam War, became prisoners of war, and were abused by inhumanely, were unacceptable to such scandals.
On the streets of Washington, thousands of members of human rights organizations and citizens took to the streets, burning the Stars and Stripes and the CIA flag, and the president and the cabinet's public support rate plummeted.
"Jones is shameless! Too shameless!"
This time, Sheldon was completely panicked.
He realized that Diane Feinstein and Congress had absolutely prepared himself for his attacks, and he hit the key points, attacked his weaknesses, and even had more shocking information.
You should know that privacy rights, press freedom, separation of rights and equality of human rights are all core values of the United States.
With the support of His Excellency of the President, Sheldon trampled on one or two, but each one violated it. Scandals broke out and repeatedly touched the bottom line of the American people. Then His Excellency of the President dared not protect him.
This time, Sheldon personally called Diane Feinstein, hoping to get the other party's understanding and support, but the other party simply refused to say anything.
Faced with the sensational public opinion, the strong international pressure, and the different voices within the party, Sheldon had to hold a press conference.
He claimed with a heavy face: "It is a trivial matter to reveal one's own truth and bring shame to the United States, and the more important thing is to bring unstable factors to the United States!"
"Using torture is absolutely unlucky, but in specific operations, every country exists! It's just that it's publicly publicized like the United States, never."
He complained with grievance: "What's wrong with Congress? What's wrong with the United States? You must know that we are fighting for national security!"
Before he could finish his words, a torn shoe flew out and smacked hard on his face.
"You are a dictator! You are going to step down! Our Associated Press will fight you to the end!"
The person who threw the shoes was a reporter from the Associated Press. He kept scolding when he was being carried out by a bodyguard.
"I am very disappointed in what you did! You must know that the CIA is protecting the United States!"
Sheldon suppressed his anger and tried his best to maintain his demeanor, pointing at the reporter and shouting coldly.
"Get out!"
"Get off the stage! We protest, you are going to step down!"
"The American people are not underage children, we don't need surveillance, Congress is not your toy!"
All the reporters were angry. At this moment, they forgot their news literacy and took off their shoes and smashed them towards Sheldon.
The scene of Sherqun being smashed to pieces was broadcast live through the media, allowing hundreds of millions of people to see it, and the press conference had to end hastily.
"No doubt, this is the most miserable, saddest, and ugliest press conference in the history of CIA!"
"No one trusts the CIA and Langley Building anymore because they no longer protect the people, but have become tools for the powerful to control citizens!"
A media reporter commented.
"The only one who really shames the United States is CIA, and to be precise, Hilton is the only one!"
Regarding Sheldon's speech, Diane Feinstein immediately accepted an interview with the media and shouted from afar:
"Congress dares to reveal its own truth because we believe that the United States is a great country. When it makes mistakes, it has the courage to acknowledge and correct it. The United States is also a confident country and will learn from these events!"
"I think those shoes have shown the attitude of the American people. They flew towards the CIA, not Congress! Congress always fights to safeguard people's rights!"
Under such circumstances, even President Bush could not sit still.
He spoke overnight and expressed his deep regret and self-blame for the series of evil deeds of the CIA. The judicial department will investigate and give an explanation to the public and never tolerate evil spirits.
That night, Sheldon was secretly summoned by His Excellency the President and came to the White House President's residence to discuss the matter.
"Sheldon, the situation is very difficult! Obviously, Congress has made full preparations!" President Bush's face was extremely solemn.
"His Excellency the President, the investigation of Congress has been going on for several years, but why did it break out in an instant? I think there must be a mastermind behind the scenes!"
Sheldon has to admit that both him and the President are facing an unprecedented huge crisis. The president is likely to abandon his troops and defend his commander, and his political career is likely to be over.
"It should be the California consortium!"
His Excellency the President sighed helplessly: "In Congress, only Mr. Marshall controls so many seats and has such overwhelming power! Obviously, you offended him!"
"This is a big joke!"
Sheldon laughed at himself and shook his head gently:
"If I have offended him, it can only be that I have ordered them to delete the legends related to the god Sodoni. This does offend their interests and violates the spirit of freedom of the press. But it is not enough to make him use such a huge amount.
The power of
In short, Sheldon is the one who serves the powerful, but Marshall is the real powerful.
Marshall's opponent should be the leader of Rockefeller and DuPont consortium, not him, and this is not an opponent of the same order of magnitude at all.
It's like when two groups of people are fighting.
The other party's boss chased a minion who was so good at it, which was not consistent with common sense.
Moreover, even if Marshall controls many seats in Congress, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to mobilize such a huge force.
But Sheldon's previous threats to delete posts by media companies such as Facebook and other networks have caused minimal losses.
The traffic brought by this seemingly fictitious news is not as good as the scandal of a Hollywood star.
On the other hand, Marshall should understand that the CIA must do so based on the overall interests of the United States, and the interests of the California consortium are also part of the interests of the American political system.
"But so far, we have no other better explanation!" President Bush said with a helpless smile.
"If Mr. Marshall really wants to step down, I am willing to resign for the sake of the party!"
Sheldon expressed his grief and anger, but this statement was precisely because he hoped that the president would keep it.
"Maybe, we have to do this!"
The President shrugged helplessly and said with a touching look: "The parties and the United States will remember your achievements!"
At this moment, Marshall was so angry that he shivered all over.
But in the end, I could only sigh helplessly: "Okay, I will file my resignation report tomorrow!"
