Returning after 10000 Years Cultivation

Chapter 627 Congressional sniping, serial outbreaks

The deputy director's words were also very appropriate, and he sincerely claimed that this was just a misunderstanding.

The CIA has never attempted to undermine the separation of powers, nor has it ever attempted to undermine the power of Congress.

Those so-called computer searches were only "technical testing and protection" and the original files were never destroyed...

After the deputy director held a press conference in the morning, the situation seemed to be calming down.

President Bush called Shelton, but mainly for reassurance and strategic guidance.

President Bush believes that this is just an ordinary political struggle. Currently, Congress has no evidence to impeach the president and reorganize the cabinet.

"Those old foxes in Congress want to fight with us, but they still have a little time to fight!"

Sheldon hung up the phone and sneered:

"Congress cannot get enough leverage! Moreover, the court may not be on that side."

"The court's investigation will take at least three months, and this time is enough for us to eliminate relevant evidence."

Several deputy directors and other senior officials present showed a proud smile and nodded.

Sheldon's face suddenly turned cold, and he no longer had the elegance of the past. Instead, his eyes were sinister and fierce, like a wolf that chooses people to eat and said in a cold voice:

"Diane Feinstein, this stinky woman, is like a vicious dog. She is always staring at our CIA and biting and barking! It's really disgusting!"

"Investigating her, using extra staff funds and personnel, I will take her down at all costs! Dig out all the dirty information about her, including sex scandals!"

"Yes!" A senior agent took the order and left.

Sheldon has overwhelming power with just one command.

Immediately hundreds of potential spies heard the news and began to investigate Dianne Feinstein and others.

Seeing this scene, Colonel Miller was extremely impressed and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and silently praised it.

Ginger is old and hot, but Sheldon is the real old fox.

But at this time, a big news that had been brewing for a long time broke out again.

It was like a series of thunders crashing down from the sky, pointing the sword at Hilton, almost blowing him to pieces.

Before getting off work in the afternoon, Dianne Feinstein once again summoned the media to drop a bombshell, and her partner was Jones, a former CIA level 10 agent.

Dianne Feinstein directly released a 3,000-page investigative report, directly criticizing the CIA's abuse of prisoners of war.

The report claimed that the investigation began in 2006 and investigated the incident for more than four years. During the four years, under Sheldon's instructions, CIA agents used "rectal water supply", "Murphy drip", "sleep deprivation" and "electric drill" They subjected 213 prisoners of war and enemy intelligence personnel to inhumane abuse in a variety of ways, including "abuse" and "sexual assault with a broom."

The report also released relevant videos and photos.

As soon as this news came out, like a stone setting off a thousand waves, the whole world was in an uproar and filled with indignation.

U.S. military institutions and consulates around the world have entered a state of alert to prevent retaliation and violent attacks.

Moreover, the release of this report has severely damaged relations with some allied countries.

"Isn't the United States a country that claims human rights? Excuse me, where are the human rights?" A senior official from the British MI5 spoke angrily.

"What the CIA has done seriously undermines the Declaration of Human Rights they uphold. This is tantamount to a slap in the face!"

A senior intelligence officer from the Russian KGB was speaking to the media from a distance.

The major powers in today's world are not monolithic. In fact, there are more internal struggles. In the past, there was the struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union, and later there was the Cold War that lasted for many years.

These major powers arrange a large number of agents to steal each other's intelligence.

Of course, many intelligence officers were arrested and imprisoned.

At this time, I saw my own intelligence personnel being so mistreated.

Many senior officials in these countries could not sit still, put pressure on the United States and strongly condemned it.

International human rights organizations were also outraged and filed a lawsuit in a U.S. court, demanding Shelton's arrest and investigation into the CIA's abuse of prisoners of war and intelligence personnel.

"I support congressional investigations! Shelton must step down! He is the biggest threat to American security!"

Not only is there a lot of pressure from abroad, but even within the Republican Party, which is in the same camp as Shelton and President Bush, a large number of people cross party lines to support Dianne Feinstein's report.

These Republicans, who had participated in the Vietnam War, became prisoners of war, and suffered inhuman treatment, cannot accept such scandals.

On the streets of Washington, thousands of members of human rights organizations and citizens took to the streets and burned the Stars and Stripes and the CIA flag. The public support ratings of the president and the cabinet plummeted.

"Jones, this traitor, is shameless! So shameless!"

This time, Sheldon was completely panicked.

He realized that Dianne Feinstein and Congress were definitely well prepared for their attack on him, and they hit the key points, attacked his weak points, and even had more powerful information.

You must know that the right to privacy, freedom of the press, separation of powers, and equal human rights are all core values ​​of the United States.

With the support of His Excellency the President, it is okay for Sheldon to trample on one or two of them, but if he violates every one of them, scandals erupt one after another, and he repeatedly touches the bottom line of the American people, then His Excellency the President would not dare to protect him.

This time, Shelton personally called Dianne Feinstein, hoping to gain the other party's understanding and support, but the other party simply refused to talk.

Faced with the uproar of public opinion, the strong international pressure, and the different voices within the party, Shelton had to hold a press conference.

He claimed with a serious face: "It is a trivial matter to expose yourself like this and humiliate the United States. What is more important is to bring instability to the United States!"

"The use of torture is absolutely disgraceful, but in practice, it exists in every country! It's just that the United States has never made it public on its own."

He complained aggrievedly: "What is happening to Congress? What is happening to the United States? You must know that we are fighting for national security!"

Before he could finish his words, a broken shoe flew out and hit him firmly in the face.

"You are a dictator! You want to step down! We at the Associated Press will fight you to the end!"

The person who threw the shoes was a reporter from the Associated Press. When he was escorted out by the bodyguards, he kept yelling and cursing.

"I am very disappointed with what you did! You must know that the CIA is protecting the United States!"

Sheldon suppressed his anger, tried his best to maintain his demeanor, pointed at the reporter and shouted coldly.

"Get lost!"

"Step down! We protest, you have to step down!"

"The American people are not underage children, we do not need surveillance, and Congress is not your toy!"

All the reporters were angry. At this moment, they forgot about their journalistic literacy, took off their shoes and threw them at Sheldon.

The image of Xie Qun being beaten to a pulp was broadcast live through the media and was seen by hundreds of millions of people. The press conference had to end hastily.

"There is no doubt that this is the most miserable, saddest and ugliest press conference in the history of the 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 this way.

"The only one who truly embarrasses the United States is the CIA. To be precise, Hilton is the only one!"

In response to Sheldon's speech, Dianne Feinstein immediately accepted an interview with the media and shouted from a distance:

"Congress dares to expose itself precisely because we believe that the United States is a great country. When it makes mistakes, it has the courage to admit and correct them. The United States is also a confident country and will learn from these incidents!"

"I think those shoes have shown the attitude of the American people. They are flying towards the CIA, not Congress! Congress always fights to protect people's rights!"

Under such circumstances, even President Bush could not sit still.

He spoke overnight and said deeply that he deeply regretted and blamed himself for the series of evil acts committed by the CIA. The judicial department will investigate and give an explanation to the public, and will never tolerate rape.

That night, Sheldon was secretly summoned by His Excellency the President and came to the President's residence in the White House to discuss the matter.

"Sheldon, the situation is very difficult! Obviously, Congress is fully prepared!" President Bush's face was extremely solemn.

"Your Excellency, the congressional investigation has been going on for several years, but why did it break out at this moment? I think there must be someone behind the scenes!"

Sheldon now has to admit that both he and the President are facing an unprecedented crisis. The President is likely to abandon his troops to protect the commander-in-chief, and his political career is likely to be over.

"It should be the California Consortium!"

The President sighed helplessly: "In Congress, only Mr. Marshall controls so many seats and has such overwhelming power! Obviously, you have offended him!"

"This is just like a big joke!"

Sheldon laughed at himself, shook his head slightly and said:

"If I have ever offended him, it can only be that I once ordered them to delete the legends related to the Sodoni god. This is indeed offensive to their interests and against the spirit of press freedom. But it is not enough for him to use such a huge the power of."

In short, Sheldon is a man who serves the powerful, but Marshall is the true powerful.

Marshall's opponent should be Rockefeller and the leaders of the DuPont consortium, not him. This is not an opponent of an order of magnitude at all.

It's like when two groups of people are fighting.

It is completely unreasonable for the opponent's boss to chase after a soy sauce minion and beat him to death.

Moreover, even if Marshall controls many seats in Congress, mobilizing such a huge force will cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

However, Shelton's previous threats to delete posts against Facebook and other online and media companies have caused minimal damage.

This kind of news that seems to be false does not bring as much traffic as the scandal of a Hollywood star.

On the other hand, Marshall should understand that when the CIA does this, it must be 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 as of now, 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 take the blame and resign for the benefit of the party!"

Sheldon expressed his position with a look of sorrow and indignation, but his expression was precisely because he hoped that the president would retain him.

"Maybe we have to do this!"

Mr. President shrugged helplessly and said with a moved expression: "The party and the United States will remember your great achievements!"

At this moment, Marshall was so angry that his whole body was shaking.

But in the end he could only sigh helplessly: "Okay, I'll submit my resignation tomorrow!"
