When Luke said this, his face was not red and his heart was not beating.

It seems that this is the case.

Mr. President, the Attorney General, and the Director of the FBI, who were present, also looked at each other with a familiar look, and then laughed.

Mr. President looked at the director of the FBI with a smile: "John, I now know why you want to protect your right-hand man." ”

Director John of the FBI smiled back, "Sir, Director Dane is our FBI face on the West Coast. ”

As everyone knows.

Across the West Coast, the big name of Los Santos is known to Luc Dane, but the name of the California seat is not known.

But......

That's not why Director John tried to keep Ruke.

At least Director John certainly wasn't appreciating him.

Ruke promised.

Because he instructed Debbie to put 10 million dollars into Director John's overseas bank account.

Of course.

The Seoul affair and the demands of the temporary workers are not worth mentioning at all for Mr. President, because even if Director John does not try to protect Luke, for the sake of votes, Mr. President will not do anything with Luke.

The reason why Mr. President said this is simple.

Pure nothing to do.

In other words.

Liven up the atmosphere.

After all, the matter of tens of thousands of clones is too big, and if it is not handled well and is exposed, he, the president, is afraid that he will become the second president in the history of the Federation to be impeached and removed from the opposition.

And the attorney general and the director of the FBI are old fritters.

After Luke and Maria Hill reported the situation, both of them had a tacit understanding of the main one and did not squeak, and even ignored several hints from Mr. President.

None of you are stupid.

This thing must not be exposed, it must be pressed.

But how to press it, who to let open this opening, this is all particular.

To put it mildly, if this matter is still exposed in the future, then the person who proposes to press this matter now will definitely be concentrated in the future.

Mr. President is still thinking about pursuing re-election, so let him open this mouth, in case the opposition finds out, it will definitely not work to poke it out directly.

Although the Minister of Justice said that he nominated it, people paid for it, and Lao Tzu spent money to let you sit in this position for me to make money, not to take the blame for you.

If that's the case, I'll spend money, and then take the blame for you, or I'll not be a pure fool without any benefit, then I'm not a pure second fool.

FBI Director John's idea was even simpler.

Compared with Mr. President, a temporary worker, and the Minister of Justice, a man who was once a son of heaven and a courtier, he Director John is a real civil servant.

The FBI famously said it.

The president can be changed, but the director of the FBI must not be changed!

This is a deafening quote once said by Hoover, the founder of the FBI.

Although the authority of the FBI is much less than it used to be.

But emaciated camels are bigger than horses.

As long as Director John himself is unwilling, even if he tears his face with Mr. President, he is not afraid of anything.

Isn't it just black material, it seems like no one has tried it in their hands.

It's not.

Mr. President saw that things froze, and the director of the Secret Service immediately handed over the steps, so there was Ruke's talk about it, which eased the atmosphere.

But things have to be settled.

Mr. President coughed and set his eyes on Luke and Maria Hill: "Since this case was discovered by the two of you, tell me what you think." ”

Luke lowered his eyes, as if he was in a state of flux.

He was a big boss with a big face, and Director John sat across from him, and it was his turn to speak.

Maria Hill didn't have any psychological burden, and said directly: "I suggest that this matter be notified to the Council of the Five Overlords. ”

Isn't that still for me to carry this pot.

Although the five hegemonic councils and the five councils are not held by the president, the presidents are all appointed by the president.

If this matter is exposed in the future, it will still be him, Mr. President, who is to blame.

The most important point.

If this matter is reported to the Council of the Five Overlords, it will be regarded as a family scandal.

This is even more serious than the exposure of this matter.

"No way!"

Mr. President shook his head and looked at Maria Hill: "This matter is happening in the Federation, and it has not risen to the point where it is necessary to inform the Council of the Five Overlords. ”

said.

Mr. President, who directly classified this matter as an internal affair of the Federation, directly set his sights on the head of the FBI.

"John, this is a federal case."

“…… No way. ”

Director John's expression was in place, and he looked at Maria Hill with some uncertainty: "Commander Hill just said, there is a shadow of an organization called 'Cobra' overseas behind this matter, this should be regarded as an overseas case, Mr. President, I think, should someone named Langley also come over to discuss." ”

Joke.

I didn't say anything in advance, so let's take the blame.

Is it possible?

If this spreads, then I will not have the face of being the director of the FBI for ten years.

Besides.

If you are behind the blame, you must be looking for the person closest to you.

Langley is a good fit.

Anyway, Langley's reputation at home and abroad is not good, but where there is a conspiracy, there must be Langley's shadow.

This kind of thing, let Langley run over to take the blame, just right.

But!

No way.

At least not this time.

The question is that wool can't catch a skap, and last month, Langley was already responsible for transporting over-the-counter narcotics from Mexico.

When you are president, you can have no bottom line, but you can't have no credit, and you must be credited if you say that you will take the blame once and be safe for half a year.

So!

Mr. President looked at the time on his watch and said directly: "Gentlemen, I can push off the visit of the temporary workers of the stick, but I can't refuse, I can't refuse, I'll go to the bathroom first." ”

Mr. President, who was talking, got up from his position, beckoned the director of the Secret Service, and left the Oval Office straight.

Obviously, there is a bathroom in the office with a high security level, but Mr. President just wants to use it outside.

Ask that the White House is his home, and he can pee wherever he wants.

Soon.

With Mr. President leaving, the Minister of Justice, who had not spoken just now, thought for a moment and looked at Director John: "John, this matter should not be publicized. ”

There are four out of fifty this year, but the oily Director John blew his beard: "Nonsense, I also know that it is not appropriate to make a noise, but I will not give any benefits, why should I take the blame and say it, I am not the director of the bureau." ”

There was a pause.

Director John seemed to think of something, and looked at the attorney general: "I also said that this case, if you talk about cobras, it is involving overseas organizations, that is Langley's case, if you don't talk about cobras, this case happened in Nevada, and it is not interstate, then it is not a federal case, it is a local police department, and the worst case is the case of the local state police, in other words, this should be in the hands of you, the attorney general." ”

The Minister of Justice said angrily: "I am also a federal department, and I can only manage the federal police, the local police station, am I in charge?" ”

Chief John shrugged: "Then let the local state police take care of it." ”

The attorney general rolled his eyes: "Nevada is not our territory, and now that the news is blocked, we can suppress it, do you think, if they know about it, they will block the news?" ”

Director John is the main word.

No good, don't take the blame.

Director John shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with me, anyway, this matter can't be related to our FBI, after all, my office in Nevada is not in Karn City, so it's not our turn to take care of anything." ”

The attorney general's heart moved.

It's instantaneous.

"You can move your office to Karn City."

"No money."

Director John spread his hands: "This year's federal budget has been spent, and until now, the California branch has been asking me for the budget. ”

The attorney general smiled and shook his head.

"How much."

"What?"

"What is the budget for the move."

"Five...... A billion of it. ”

Director John opened his mouth and looked at the Minister of Justice with a smile: "Why, the Ministry of Justice can't spend the budget this year, and plans to support us some." ”

The attorney general was expressionless: "The Ministry of Justice has no money. ”

Director John stopped talking.

No money?

No money, you talk about chicken feathers.

Everyone is in their fifties and sixties, and this thing of splitting sentiment has long been outdated.

But......

The Minister of Justice then changed his words and directly fell on Alexander Pierce: "It is said that Brigadier General William Stryker of the military was rescued along with Pierce's director. ”

Alexander Pearce, who had been watching the play and did not intervene, saw that the topic was pulled up to him, and looked at the Minister of Justice: "What does the Minister of Justice have a good opinion." ”

The attorney general looked at Alexander Pierce again, and then at Director John: "The Department of Justice is and will not be involved in this case." ”

Director John raised an eyebrow.

Alexander Pierce was also moved when he heard this.

Maria Hill, who was only watching the play, glanced at Luke, who was clasped around his arms as if he was asleep.

Luke was unmoved, his eyelids didn't move, as if he were asleep.

It's just a show with a script written.

The Attorney General present, Director John, Alexander Pearce, and him and Maria Hill, seemed to be five people, but in fact there were six people, because there was still a William Stryker who didn't come.

But it seems to be six people, but in fact there are only three people.

FBI, White House and military.

But......

It looks like three people, but in reality, there are only two people.

Neither of them had names, only code names.

One is called a civil servant.

One is called a temporary worker.
