"It's not that I don't agree, it's just that Congressman Pepps thinks that if Director David hadn't launched an investigation, then the source of this information would have been too cautious......

Melinda hurriedly made a round.

"Huh."

Donald sneered and said, "It doesn't have to be that our Director David's sources are cautious, can't it be that some people are not doing things cleanly and leaking the news?" ”

This so-called some people are naturally Pears.

At this time, Pips naturally heard the yin and yang between Donald's words, and he also replied with a little dissatisfaction: "Who is not doing things cleanly, your IRS David's methods are well known, as long as he wants to do it, who dares to say that his privacy will not be leaked a little?" ”

"What do you mean now, Councillor Pepps?"

The two looked at each other, and an invisible smoke filled the air.

Thinking that in the midterm elections in November, if he did not win the support of a large number of criminals, he would probably lose the Senate seat, Pips could only stubbornly say: "I don't mean anything else, I want to send another investigation team from Washington to re-investigate this matter, if I can't find anything again this time, then I will admit it!" ”

"If you want to investigate, you can investigate, when the IRS is your back garden? Do you know that because of the cooperation with your investigation, the Western Suburbs Branch has basically been in a state of suspension in the past two days, and how much work has been delayed and how much tax revenue has been lost? You paid us these taxes, didn't you? ”

Donald actually wanted to say, I'm giving you face, right?

It's okay to engage in the black tax bill, and now it's still chasing the western suburbs branch bureau, and it's endless?

"Chairman Melinda, you should know how much financial pressure we have in the United States now, the White House attaches great importance to the contribution made by the Western Suburbs Branch, if you continue to entangle like this, when the time comes, you will not be able to achieve the tax performance assessment target given by the White House, we will reduce your Congressional budget to fill it, and if Congress is shut down at that time, you don't blame us!"

This time it was Obadiah who spoke.

"Director Obadia, what you said is serious, we are not making things difficult for the Western Suburbs Branch, so let's do it, since Agent Whalet didn't go to the Western Suburbs Branch to investigate, since the results are out, then this matter is over, and our Tax Commission will not be involved!"

Melinda, as a member of Congress and chair of the tax committee, certainly understands the current economic situation in the United States, and if the IRS is really pushed into a hurry, and the IRS is stuck, it may really get Congress shut down.

After all, no matter how powerful your Congress is, the facilities, electricity bills, labor, and salaries still need to be funded, and if the funds are stuck, all departments and links will be paralyzed in minutes.

At that time, she will have to carry the cauldron, so she doesn't want to accompany Pips and the three of them anymore to make peace.

"Chairman Melinda......"

"Okay, no more talk, if you don't agree with this matter, you can talk to the Speaker of the House of Representatives!"

As soon as Melinda was about to get off the boat and run away, Pipps immediately became anxious, but before he could continue, Melinda interrupted him.

"Okay, I'm also here to talk to the Speaker of the House of Representatives this time, since the three of you have objections to this, let's go over together."

Seeing that Melinda had already said that she would not be involved, there was no need for Obadia Donald and the others to stay here, so she turned around and walked out.

The three of Pips, on the other hand, were staring at each other with wide eyes.

Let them go to the speaker of the House of Representatives to talk about this matter, and they will naturally not dare.

Because in the days they've been slamming the black tax bill, the IRS has been putting pressure on the Speaker of the House to keep them under control.

But in order to win over the votes in the hands of those lawbreakers, they chose to take the words of the Speaker of the House of Representatives as the wind in their ears.

If you run over now, let alone support them, it's good not to spray them with dog blood.

Just when the three of them didn't know what to do, Melinda's landline phone rang, she picked it up and listened to it, then put down the phone and said to the three: "Listen, the Speaker of the House of Representatives said that he wants to see you, and I remind you not to think about shirking!" ”

The faces of the three Pipps suddenly became bitter, the speaker of the House of Representatives knew that they were here in the parliament building, and they also used the words "don't shirk it", so what else could they do, they could only pass.

An hour later.

In the Speaker's office, the three Pipps walked out in disgrace.

Each member of Congress had their own office in the Houses of Parliament, and the last place the trio returned to was in Pepps's office.

"Fake, what should I do now?"

As soon as he entered the place, Timothy cursed, as if to vent his resentment.

Because the IRS threatened to take out the president and cut off funds to shut down Congress, the three of them were sprayed with blood after being called in front of the Speaker of the House just now.

That is, the speaker of the House of Representatives does not have the power to directly remove them, otherwise the three of them may be covered up and left now.

"The tax committee led by Melinda is now withdrawn, and the speaker of the House of Representatives is suppressing it again, it is difficult for the three of us to pose any threat to the black tax bill, and if it continues, let alone the position of the senator, I can't keep the seat of the current congressman......"

Prinnhall's fears are not unfounded.

Although the Speaker of the House of Representatives cannot remove them directly, he can set up a special committee to investigate them, and if this committee invites David to join, I believe that David will be more than happy to engage them.

The reason why David doesn't dare to kill them now is mainly because he is concerned about the influence of the Congress as a whole, but if it is authorized by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, then David will not scruple and will let go of his hands and feet to deal with them.

At that time, like the shipyard scandal that Pipps was exposed, this source may not be 'alleged', I am afraid it will be the evidence on the table.

"Damn, if only the Senate had our allies!"

Pipps scolded unwillingly, if there were senators in the Senate who supported them, then the Speaker would not dare to put so much pressure on them now.

"yes, it's a pity that Stevenson hasn't been selected yet, if he does, and he has him in the Senate to endorse us, it will be much easier."

Timothy also sighed, and the atmosphere at the scene fell silent.

After half a ring, Prinhall seemed to have made a decision, and he said to the two: "Forget it, the current situation is not optimistic, I'd better withdraw first, and see if I can elect a senator in the midterm elections, or if Stevenson's side is elected." ”

"In that case, then I'll pull out first."

Although the votes of the criminals are tempting, the pressure on the House of Representatives from top to bottom is too great, and if the two of them continue to do it, I am afraid that if they can't insist on these people voting for them, they will have to be pushed down, so after some careful consideration, the two can only choose to withdraw.

If it were the usual one, seeing the two allies quit like this, Pipps would definitely be scolded, but he also knew what the situation was now, so although he was unwilling, he could only acquiesce to this.

……

In the days that followed, the three lawmakers, led by Pips, suddenly lowered their profile, not to mention interviews with the media, and attended events to attack the black tax bill, and even stopped tweeting, which left many people blindsided.

"What's going on, Councillor Peps, why haven't they spoken for days?"

"That's not right, it seems that at the beginning, the slogan of Congressman Pups's repeal of the black tax bill was so loud that even after the TV debate went wrong, he still maintained his criticism of this bill, why has it disappeared now?"

"Even if Pips disappeared, and the two Congressmen Timothy Plain Hall have not been heard from, there must be something going on, could it be that the IRS has threatened them?"

Didn't you say that the Black Tax Act was a big flaw?

Didn't you say that you would go all out to repeal or reform this law?

It's only been a few days, huh? Start pretending to be dead?

Netizens who don't know why are talking about it, but the criminals who originally expressed their support for the three people are angry.

Although I don't know much about the inside story of the sudden retreat of the three of Pips, what can be guessed is that they must have been under some pressure or even threats from the IRS!

These criminals began to bring up the rhythm on major social media, constantly attacking the three of Pips with words such as cowards and cowards.

On the side of the Western Suburbs Bureau, after receiving the news from the General Administration that the three of Pips had died down, David has not been idle in the past few days, and after presiding over this round of assessment meetings on April 1, he asked his subordinates to thoroughly investigate the remaining major film companies.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, after reading the information and documents collected in the past few days, David immediately called Lewis over and instructed: "After so many days of delay, it's time to settle the matter and issue a notice, limiting the six major film companies to come to our western suburbs branch office for punishment on tax issues before three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow!" ”

"Understood."

Lewis immediately turned away to make arrangements.

Soon after, representatives of several major film companies who received the news came to the Disney Film Company building and walked into the conference room with a solemn expression.

Okanji, the vice president of Disney who was waiting here, looked no better at the moment.

When everyone is full, the door to the conference room closes.

The representative of Huana Film Company immediately asked: "Mr. Okanji, now you tell me, what should we do?" ”

"Aivan, don't panic ...... yet"

"How can you not panic!"

Representative Warne, known as Aven, interrupted and continued, "As you can see, lobbying for Congress is not working now, and the three members of Pipes have also backed down, do we have any other options now?"

As soon as these words came out, representatives of major film companies also looked at Okanji with dissatisfaction.

If it weren't for this Dishini to come out and get in the way.

When they saw that Lianmei and Rice Cake Film Company were subdued, maybe they would take advantage of the donkey to follow and soften.

Now that the black tax bill has been made, it's no wonder that the Western Suburbs Branch doesn't count this account on their heads.

Even if you go to give in now, the price you pay will definitely be worse than if you were soft in the first place.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, my bosses are already operating, and there will be a way to solve it......"

Okanji was still trying to comfort him.

However, Evan didn't accept this set anymore, and he retorted: "Didn't you say the same thing before, saying that your bosses are already operating, and the result? ”

"Those lawmakers who criticized the black tax bill have not dared to squeak under pressure from the IRS, even if they operate again, what can they do?"

This remark was once again recognized by the representatives of several major film companies present.

It's true that the bosses behind Disney have complex backgrounds, but David can even handle it as a member of Congress, so what else can't he do?

The Disney family has a big business and can still withstand the toss, but their major film companies can't stand the toss.

The so-called immortals fight mortals and suffer, and if they continue to fight, I don't know if Di Shini will die or not, but a few of them will definitely be used as cannon fodder.

At the beginning, Jia Duobao and Wang Laoji fought viciously, didn't they die with him.

"Gentlemen, please trust me again, my boss will have a way to solve it, don't compromise so easily......"

Okanji knew that he was wrong, and it was not easy to refute too much, so he could only continue to appease.

"Okanji, you also know, the Western Suburbs Branch has just released the news, and has investigated our situation clearly, so that we need to be reviewed before 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, it has come to this point, I and our Huana Film Company, it is impossible to fight with him anymore, these days, our stock price has suffered a lot of losses, I hope you can understand our situation......"

Because Huana Film Company may face sanctions from the Western Suburbs Branch at any time, the market has not had enough confidence in them during this period of time, and their stock price has suffered a lot of losses, so they really can't bear the pressure.

Confessing now may lead to heavy bleeding, but it's not the end of it.

But if you really dare to continue to resist, once the Western Suburbs Branch issues a severe punishment, then the whole company will collapse directly.

"Mr. Okanji, we are looking for the same from the film industry, and I hope you can understand."

"So do we at Columbia Films."

"And we, Palamon......"

Several other major film companies have obviously been well thought out, so when they saw that Hua Na was preparing to protect Mingzhe, they also went with the flow.

"Evan ...... You guys...... Fake, whatever you want! ”

At this point, Okanji could say nothing but scold.
