American tax officials

Chapter 324 Do you want to be the director of the FBI?

"Regardless, the IRS in New York did put in a lot of effort this time, and I will remember that favor."

"What are you saying, Chief David? We're all colleagues in the IRS; 'helping each other out' is perfectly normal!"

On the surface, Giglioni appeared nonchalant, but inside he was overjoyed. He had been waiting for David to say those words, and his phrase "help each other out" carried a deeper meaning.

Judging from the current situation, once News Corporation is secured, David's promotion to a high-ranking position at the General Administration is practically a done deal.

He has remained in his position as Commissioner of the New York Internal Revenue Service for ten years.

If David successfully enters the General Administration and has the support of this high-ranking official, while there's no guarantee he'll be promoted to a high-ranking position at the General Administration, the chances of him being promoted to a state-level position are at least high.

David nodded and replied, "Yes, Director Giorgio is right. If there's anything I can help with in the future, just let me know."

The other party had helped him a lot these past few days, so he owed them a favor. If the other party needed anything in the future, he wouldn't mind repaying them.

The reason Giuliani personally delivered the documents today was mainly to gain David's favor and some promises. Now that he has achieved his goal, he naturally didn't linger and left after exchanging a few polite words.

Inside the suite, David took out his phone, dialed a number, and said, "Tell them they can move out!"

……

The following day, four men arrived at the FBI headquarters in the Hoover Institution in Washington, D.C. All of them were wearing sunglasses and hats, seemingly trying not to attract too much attention.

Indeed, the visitors were David and his group.

"We have scheduled a meeting with Agent Gavin."

"Please wait a moment..."

The receptionist in the lobby returned after about five minutes and said to David and the others, "Gentlemen, please follow me."

The receptionist led David and his group up to the sixth floor, through a long corridor to an office at the far end, knocked on the door and, after receiving a response, opened it.

David didn't waste any time and went straight in. He saw a man sitting in the office, who was also an old acquaintance of his: Gavin, an FBI special agent from Nevada.

Oh no, to be precise, he should be a former FBI special agent in Nevada.

A few months after David was transferred to Los Angeles, Gavin was stripped of his Nevada Special Agent title for some reason and transferred back to FBI headquarters.

"Chief David, what brings you all the way to Washington, D.C."

Upon David's arrival, Gavin made no attempt to rise to greet him, and his tone even carried a hint of sarcasm.

It's not surprising that he was so rude to David.

The reason he was dismissed from his position as a regional governor and slunk back to headquarters to languish was entirely due to his association with David.

This story begins when David was in Nevada, where Governor Stevenson approached him, wanting his help to deal with David.

In the end, David caught him red-handed, forcing him to temporarily turn his guns on Stevenson.

Although Stevenson was eventually forced to resign, he had the backing of the Mogen family, so while he couldn't deal with David, he could easily deal with him afterward.

So, a few months later, he ended up being demoted and sent back to headquarters to be a nobody.

"Agent Gavin, there's no need to hold such a grudge against me. I've come to you this time to offer you a benefit."

David naturally noticed the other person's resentment, but he didn't care. He pulled out a stool and sat down with an air of nonchalance.

"Heh, what good will you do for me?"

What Gavin really wanted to say was, "You'd be lucky if you didn't try to hurt me!"

David didn't waste any more words. He took out the News Corp. document from his inside pocket and threw it in front of him.

"What is this?"

Gavin glanced at the document first, then looked up at David with a questioning gaze.

"We'll find out soon enough."

Gavin's eyes flickered slightly, but he eventually picked up the document, opened it, and began to examine it.

As he looked at the contents, his expression grew increasingly serious, but finally a hint of displeasure appeared on his face as he questioned, "This is dirt on News Corporation, what are you doing giving me this?"

Although he no longer holds a senior position in the FBI, he is still aware of the struggle between David and the Freemasons.

They also know that News Corporation is currently leading the charge for the Freemasons.

"As I just said, I'm here today to bring you a benefit, and this is it!"

"You want me to investigate News Corporation?!"

When dealing with Stevenson last time, David had him act as the scapegoat, so Gavin naturally understood the meaning very quickly.

"That's right."

The IRS cannot take the lead in this matter, and the FBI is the most suitable to do so. After all, the FBI had already investigated News Corp. years ago, so it is reasonable for them to reopen the investigation.

The reason he found Gavin was quite simple.

First of all, he already had a lot of dirt on this guy, so he could control him.

Secondly, although he is about to be promoted to the General Administration, his own foundation is still too shallow. It is necessary to cultivate and develop his external forces appropriately.

Currently, he has Elvis as an ally within the CIA.

And they don't have any of their own people in the FBI.

As one of the top three law enforcement agencies in the United States, controlling the FBI would be like adding wings to a tiger.

After much deliberation, Gavin was naturally the most suitable candidate.

This guy is quite senior in the FBI. If we give him some achievements and help him build up his reputation, he should have no problem entering the FBI's decision-making circle in the future.

"Heh, Director David, if you want me dead, just say so. There's no need to torment me like this!"

If Gavin was merely dissatisfied before, now he's downright furious.

Who in America doesn't know that News Corporation is the mouthpiece of the Freemasons?

He only offended Stevenson and ended up being dismissed. If he had directly attacked such a core propaganda agency, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.

Whether those Jews could deal with David or not, dealing with him, a lowly agent with little power, would be a piece of cake.

"Why be so pessimistic, Agent Gavin? If you announce an investigation into News Corporation and ultimately bring them to justice, you'll be a hero for exposing the darkness. That would not only be a great achievement but would also earn you immense prestige. Haven't you had enough of your current pathetic existence?"

"My life is pathetic now, but it's not so bad that I'd lose my life. If I were to investigate News Corporation, I might end up dead in the street one day."

"Agent Gavin, do you really think this is just a fight between me and the Freemasons? Let me tell you the truth, the person who most wants the Freemasons dead is probably not me!"

Upon hearing this, Gavin's expression shifted, and after a moment of hesitation, he asked, "You mean... the Onsa Group will also be involved in this?"

As someone who held a high-ranking position in the FBI in a single state, he naturally possessed a great deal of inside information. From the W aid bill, he had already discerned that David and the Onsa Group were likely in some kind of collusion.

"This is a golden opportunity to cut off the Freemasons' propaganda and packaging tools. If you were them, would you just stand by and watch?"

Over the years, the open and covert struggles between the Ansar Group and the Freemasons have been obvious to everyone.

Now that David has finally gained momentum in suppressing the Freemasons, the Onsa Group is certainly very happy and pleased to see it.

So if he were a member of the Onsa Group, he would definitely kick a man when he's down after seeing such a good opportunity.

Upon realizing this, Gavin's face showed a hint of emotion.

If this is a struggle between David and the Freemasons, then if he steps forward, he is likely to be targeted and eliminated. But if the Onsa Group is also behind him, then his chances of winning are much greater.

If successful, as David said before, it would be a great achievement and would bring him immense prestige.

At that point, let alone returning to the position of a regional governor in a certain state, it wouldn't be impossible for him, given his qualifications, to even rise to a high-ranking position in the FBI.

After all, 9/11 is a painful memory for all Americans.

If News Corp. is proven guilty of monitoring the victims' families, then as the hero who exposed the incident, his achievements and reputation will be immense.

"Agent Gavin, if you want to make it in American politics, sometimes you have to choose the right side and seize the right opportunities. Otherwise, you might as well quit your job and retire at home."

David's words made Gavin respond, his expression grave. "That makes sense, but you also know the Freemasons are incredibly powerful. They could easily deal with me..."

David realized the other party was afraid he'd be used as cannon fodder, so he said, "Agent Gavin, there are so many people in the FBI, I could easily have found someone else to do this, but do you know why I chose you?"

Why?

"Because I have high hopes for you, and I think you are a person with great potential. Given time, you might even be the one steering the FBI ship."

In order to get the other party to investigate News Corporation for him, David didn't hesitate to make grand promises.

However, Gavin was still very tempted by this offer.

He had already discerned that David seemed to intend to support him.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. The FBI is one of the top three most powerful law enforcement agencies in the United States. David has made so many enemies now, so it's normal for him to need the agency's help.

Furthermore, he had witnessed David's methods firsthand, and during this period, he had made those powerful Jewish people suffer terribly. With the support of the Onsa Group, if he joined them, the possibility of him soaring to great heights in the future was quite high.

"Okay, in that case, what do you need me to do?"

Gavin wasn't an indecisive person. He had a great opportunity to turn his life around, and most importantly, he had a good chance of winning. Naturally, he wanted to seize it.

"so……"

David gave Gavin some instructions over the next two hours before finally leaving the office.

……

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During those five days, News Corp continued to press David about his promotion, and when the IRS headquarters stopped sending messages, the Freemasons celebrated.

According to normal procedures, since the IRS has already hinted at transferring David to headquarters, it should have been officially announced by now.

However, more than a week has passed, and the IRS has still not made an official announcement or taken any further action.

What does this mean?

This means that the State Administration of Taxation must have felt that the public pressure was too great, and had no choice but to postpone this personnel change or simply give up on it.

The Freemasons relentlessly pursued David to prevent him from being promoted to headquarters, and it seems that they have achieved their goal!

However, before they could celebrate for long, a news report from CBS on September 26th left the Freemasons somewhat dumbfounded.

"Viewers, this is CBS. According to sources, the FBI has obtained evidence related to the News Corp. phone hacking scandal and is preparing to reopen the investigation. Stay tuned for more updates..."

The news article was short, but its content caused a huge stir and instantly became a trending topic on major social media platforms.

"Oh my god, News Corp. phone hacking scandal? Are you referring to the wiretapping of the families of 9/11 victims?"

"This incident caused quite a stir back then. It's said that the FBI conducted a thorough investigation of the group, but ultimately concluded that no evidence was found. Could it be that the FBI has some new evidence?"

"If News Corp. is proven to have indeed been wiretapping the families of 9/11 victims, then they truly deserve to die. Let's see what the subsequent investigation report says..."

"..."

As mentioned before, 9/11 is a painful memory for all Americans. Now that this news has been revealed, people have no interest in whether David will be promoted or not; they have all joined in the discussion on this topic.

News Corporation headquarters building, New York.

"Not only should we get domestic media involved, but our international channels should also get involved, striving to elevate this matter to an international level, making it as big as possible, understand?"

"Understood, Mr. Murdoch."

"Okay, go ahead."

After his subordinates left, Murdoch smiled slightly.

During this period, under his influence, David's promotion was significantly hindered, which can be considered a very good result.

He was so pleased with himself that he received a personal call from Henrietta praising him.

It seems that as long as his media outlets continue to exert their influence, the IRS head office will definitely give up on promoting David.

Then, when the time comes, he can take the opportunity to propose that he wants a share of the profits from the Federal Reserve. Who would dare to object then?

Would Henrietta dare to refuse?

If we don't agree, who will be willing to do this thankless work when the group faces a similar crisis again?
