The Blacklist

Chapter 12 Red Devils Obtain Exemption Documents
In Carrie's opinion, if Donald doesn't tell Cooper what he said today, then he is certainly a good friend. He can consider taking him with him when doing something illegal in the future, so that he can also get some benefits!
However, he guessed that it was most likely that Tang reported to Cooper after leaving here! That would actually be in his interest, so that Cooper would take the initiative to find him so as to discuss future cooperation issues - he couldn't always be an observer here, that would affect his killing of criminals, and his obtaining crime-killing points and dollars!
It turns out that Donald, a handsome blond guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is very loyal to the organization. He immediately went to find Cooper after leaving the shooting range! This made Carrie, who came out behind him, speechless. Why don’t you cover it up a little? He is still behind, and you are about to "betray" your brother!

Half an hour later, after he had taken a shower and changed into clean clothes, he received a call from Cooper.

This was his second time sitting in this office. The two of them were still seated in the same position, but Cooper's expression became more serious. The first thing he said was, "Auditor Kerry, tell me, how much have you been hiding from me?"

"A lot of things." Kerry said honestly, "After all, we are not from the same system."

"I'm not asking about the IRS, I'm talking about what happened in this base!" Cooper said angrily.

"That seems to be the only thing," said Carrey, "I received taxes from the Red Devils."

Cooper asked, "When did it happen? Why did you hide it from me?"

"It was more than half a month ago when the DOJ came for an internal review. Director Diane agreed to let me interrogate Reddington alone." Carrie said, "I didn't want to hide it from you, but I have no obligation to tell you, because collecting taxes is the job of our IRS agents, and this is also the purpose of my coming here. You knew this before!"

Cooper was a little speechless after hearing this. The truth was correct, but the other party was doing this in his base, so it was wrong. So he said firmly: "Auditor Kerry, this is a secret base of the FBI. You can't do anything without my knowledge. Do you understand? I'm informing you now that you are no longer suitable to stay here. Go back to the IRS!"

"No, Mr. Cooper." Kerry shook his head. "You can check your mailbox. There should be documents about my permission to be an observer and work here. There is an application from the IRS director, the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, and the permission of the President. You can't get rid of me."

Cooper was so angry that his nose was crooked. He opened his mailbox in disbelief and found a new email received five minutes ago. The content was exactly Carrie's work permit, which left him at a loss.

Seeing his look, Carrie knew that Deputy Director Most had already taken care of the matter. Since he couldn't get rid of him, he stopped provoking him and said in a slow tone, "Mr. Cooper, I'm actually not a hindrance to you here. I've even helped a little! Besides, I abided by the previous confidentiality agreement and didn't tell any outsiders about what happened here, including my boss. The IRS only knows that I can receive Reddington's personal income tax every month."

"But, you work here and receive taxes from Reddington every month. Isn't that equivalent to telling your boss that Reddington is here?" Cooper was still angrily.

"My boss already knew about it!" Kerry felt that the other party was a little angry and confused. "If he didn't know, why would he send me here?"

Cooper slapped his forehead and felt that he was really old! He made a low-level cognitive error on this issue, but he was not ready to admit defeat, so he thought of a new way of saying it, "Since you insist on staying here, you must fulfill your obligations, which is to help me keep the establishment of this special operations team..."

"Of course, I have actually done this work." Carrie smiled, "I told my boss that only by keeping the current special operations team and keeping Reddington under control here can the IRS receive his taxes on time, so our director has reported directly to the president, which is why I can get a work permit." Cooper understood what he said, but still frowned and said, "But Director Diane of the DOJ's criminal department just refuses to sign the exemption documents requested by Reddington. I'm worried that this red devil will refuse to cooperate with us again..."

"No, Mr. Cooper." Carrie said confidently, "Go directly to the Attorney General this time. He should have received the official order from the President by now. You don't have to bother with Diane anymore!"

"Really?" Cooper couldn't believe it.

"Of course." Carrie said, "But, Mr. Cooper, if this is done, you have to treat my work fairly and not exclude me from the team again!"

Cooper looked into his eyes and nodded, "Okay, if it's really as you said, I promise you, as long as you still work here, I will treat you as my own!"

"OK, happy cooperation!" Carrie took the initiative to extend her hand and shake his hand. She felt happy and at ease.
-
On Wednesday, May 5, Reddington received a formal immunity document signed by the U.S. Attorney General (exercising the powers of the Attorney General), which stipulated that as long as he abides by U.S. laws in the future, the DOJ, on behalf of the country, promised not to pursue his previous criminal behavior.

The document also stipulates that in return for immunity, Reddington must serve as an exclusive informant for the FBI special operations team led by Harold Cooper and provide intelligence information on other serious criminals. The FBI special operations team specially established for this purpose is obligated to protect his personal safety as long as he does not commit any more crimes.

Additional terms: Reddington requires that his first contact be Elizabeth Keen and his second contact be Richard Carey, and he does not accept direct contact from other people; Keen and Carrey are obliged to keep Reddington's personal privacy confidential and will not be forced or held accountable in any way by their superiors.

Immunity Agreement Expiration Clause: Reddington is confirmed to have committed new crimes.

The information on serious criminals provided by Reddington was named the "Strike Evil Roll", and the FBI special operations team was officially named the SER (Strike Evil Roll) team, which was kept strictly confidential from the outside world.

The ultimate superior of the SER team is determined to be the Attorney General, and its daily work is handled by a DOJ Deputy Director designated by him. The FBI actually has no jurisdiction over it.

SER's funding is fully paid by the DOJ. In return, all proceeds from the group's operations are turned over to the DOJ, except for personal income taxes received by the IRS.

This exemption document is absolutely the first in the history of the US DOJ, and its consequences and impacts are unpredictable to anyone at this time!
