Chapter 169: Have You Heard of Watergate?

Hearing this praise, Laurie not only did not feel satisfied or happy, but his face became solemn.

Because he knew very well that David was not so idle to come out of his way to praise him, and there must be some other purpose.

"As for Reno City, although I haven't been to it yet, from all aspects of the information, under the governance of Lieutenant Governor Laurie......"

"Wait, wait, wait......"

Laurie couldn't listen anymore, and directly interrupted: "Tax Chief David, I don't think you should have the leisure to praise me for my contribution to the governance of the cities, right?" ”

David leaned back on the sofa, looked directly at Laurie with sharp eyes, and said, "I mean, with Lieutenant Governor Laurie's ability, if Nevada is handed over to you to govern, I think it will develop even better!" ”

Hearing this, Laurie's face changed instantly.

The contradiction between Stevenson and David is now known to many people in Nevada, and he, as the lieutenant governor of the state government, is naturally clear.

And now what does this David mean when he says that Nevada is left to him to govern?

It is clear that David wants to bring down Stevenson so that he can take over the position of lieutenant governor!

This explains why David would say that it would be better for Nevada to be governed by him!

Because only when he becomes governor can he really have the power to run the entire state!

Thinking of this, Laurie's face gradually fell silent, he first sneered, and then replied in a sarcastic tone: "Tax Chief David, I admit that you have some skills, but you are still a little naΓ―ve to think about it, you have no idea how much energy a governor has, and how many forces support Stevenson has behind him!" ”

If only Stevenson could be brought down so easily.

That won't be able to sit firmly on the throne of the governor of Nevada for nearly eight years, and he, the lieutenant governor, will not be suppressed everywhere.

David was not angry because of the other party's ridicule, but replied lightly: "Nicoson's energy is not great, and there are not many forces behind him, but what is the final result?" ”

"A few reporters can bring him down, isn't it Lieutenant Governor Laurie, do you think I'm not as good as a few reporters?"

David's words are actually telling the other party that Nicosonson was the president of the United States at the beginning, but in the end, it was not because of the Watergate scandal that he collapsed.

Even if Stevenson is so powerful, can he still be bigger than Nicholson?

Laurie was indeed choked by this, and for a moment he really didn't know how to refute it.

After a long while, he replied: "This is different, the Watergate scandal is an extremely rare event in the entire history of the United States. ”

David replied: "Then Lieutenant Governor Laurie, do you think that the incident at the city halls of Henderson and Sparks is a very common thing?" ”

"This ......"

Laurie choked again.

The arrest and death penalty by the IRS for the City Hall on suspicion of tax evasion is also extremely rare in the United States.

And it was this extremely rare event, David completed two things alone, so what else could he say?

"Lieutenant Governor Laurie, I'll be blunt, there's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of you, and that's to work with me, and I'll do my best to help you get to the governor's throne, how about it? You can't be willing to live in Stevenson's shadow all the time, can you? ”

Laurie's expression changed again, and then he immediately asked, "Help me ascend to the governor's throne?" How do you want to do it? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, you can say yes or no!"

Laurie was silent.

Of course, he was unwilling to be suppressed by Stevenson all the time, but he was also worried that if this thing could not be done, he would definitely be unlucky.

Laurie is very aware of Stevenson's character of revenge, even if he dares to covet the governor's throne, and dare to use the United Nations Tax Office to get his head, if it doesn't work, then Stevenson will definitely put him to death.

But as David said, this could be an opportunity for him.

After all, David's skills are also here, and since he can rectify the officials of the city hall, it may be ...... You can also find a way to clean up Stevenson!

If he really succeeds, then he can be regarded as a step to the sky.

Because according to American law, the governor needs to be elected, so don't look at him as an lieutenant governor now, he is one step away from being a governor.

However, there are many lieutenant governors, who are just one step away, but will never be able to ascend to the governor's throne.

And if Stevenson is really overthrown now, then according to the federal constitution, he can skip the election and take over the governor's throne!

Although because Stevenson's term is approaching, even if he takes over, he will not be in office for long.

But as long as he becomes governor, the exposure and resources he has are certainly not comparable to that of the lieutenant governor, and he can use this to increase his momentum and run for re-election.

In the face of such a temptation, it is naturally unwilling to let him give up.

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind for a long time, Laurie suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Can I ask you something?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Two days ago, I heard that your IRS brought back five agents from the FBI, and there were media reports that these five agents were suspected of tax evasion, but then it gradually calmed down, what happened in it?"

This matter has been of particular concern and curiosity to many people in Carson City in the past two days.

Because according to David's previous skills and character, such as when dealing with Sparks and the officials of Henderson's city halls.

As long as they are arrested, they will immediately issue an announcement and then be sent to the court for trial the next day.

However, the five FBI agents two days ago were obviously brought back at the behest of David, but in the end, not only did nothing happen, but they also let them go.

This is clearly not like David's character.

And Laurie, as a politician, of course, also sees that there is a big strangeness in it.

"Do you really want to know?"

Laurie nodded in thought.

"It's simple, because they're already from our IRS!"

"Oh?"

Laurie, of course, picked up on the underlying meaning of David's words, and asked, "Do you mean the five agents?" ”

"No, the entire FBI system in Nevada!"

"What did you say!"

Laurie's expression changed greatly, and the muscles in his whole body instantly tensed.

"I say, the whole FBI system in Nevada!"

"It can't be!"

After the shock, Laurie immediately questioned.

There is no doubt that the national tax is powerful, but the FBI can become a world-famous law enforcement agency, and it is naturally not vegetarian.

And David's ability is indeed amazing, but if he can get rid of those five agents, he believes it, but if he can get the entire FBI system in Nevada, he can't believe it.
