Chapter 431 The Dispute with the White House

"This is Mr. Nature. I'll handle this matter, but before that, we need to do this..."

Sullivan then outlined a series of plans for what to do next.

……

In the following days, the entire United States continued to discuss the imprisonment of Governor Dalick and others.

Meanwhile, social media platforms controlled by Jews, such as Facebook and YouTube, have been constantly supporting and promoting the innocence of Dalik and others.

However, on the fourth day, a piece of news reignited the already heated discussion.

According to a report from Reuters' US branch, the purge in New York has drawn serious attention from the White House.

The White House is currently investigating the matter, and if problems are found, it may even use a pardon to restore the freedom of Dalik and others.

It's worth noting that David personally put Dalik and the others in jail, and now Reuters reports that the president may use a pardon to restore their freedom.

What does this mean?

This suggests that the White House may have had a disagreement with the IRS in this incident, which is why they did something that is almost a slap in the face!

This topic quickly became a headline on major social media platforms, sparking heated discussions across the country.

New York, Broadway theater.

"A pardon?"

David, who was watching the performance with a congressional candidate, also received the news, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Inspector General David, it seems you're in trouble. Of course, if you can handle this, then it's no big deal for me to withdraw from the race and give my resources to the person you support."

The candidate stood up, buttoned his suit jacket, and left.

"Inspector General, Reuters is an authoritative media outlet, so their sudden release of this news is definitely not unfounded. I think it must be a rumor released by the White House."

David agreed with Munson's words.

Wilder had come to him a few days earlier to express his dissatisfaction with the New York purge and to tell him not to go too far and to stop as soon as possible.

However, he did not stop there and insisted on sending Dalik and a group of other high-ranking officials to prison. It's no wonder that the White House was angry about such a disrespectful act.

"Chief Inspector, should we...?"

"Don't worry about it for now. It's just a rumor from Reuters, not an official statement from the White House. Let's stick to our plan and get these candidates sorted out first!"

He needs to secure his New York State legislator seat first, after dealing with Dalick and his ilk. As for the White House's so-called pardon, it's best if it's just a test.

Otherwise, the information he had collected last time would have come in handy.

……

Two more days passed amid nationwide discussions about granting amnesty to Dalik and others.

On that day, the White House spokesperson held a press conference with only one topic: due to the current FBI director's health reasons, the White House officially accepted his resignation, and the White House's next nominee will be Deputy Secretary of State Nuland.

This news didn't really affect ordinary people; after all, with so many departments in the United States, staff turnover is a normal occurrence.

Although the FBI is an important agency, it's not unusual for it to change its head.

However, for those at a higher level, this is quite a shocking event.

It's important to understand that ever since David launched his purge of the FBI, the top brass of the FBI have been living in fear, lest they be targeted by David. As a result, the agency has been under David's control ever since.

The director of this agency has now resigned, supposedly due to health reasons, but has been replaced by a deputy secretary of state.

Most importantly, this deputy secretary of state has Jewish ancestry. What does that mean?

This means that the White House is somewhat inclined to regain control of the agency.

This is further combined with the information released by Reuters a few days ago that the White House was going to pardon Dalick and others.

This confirms that the White House and the IRS did indeed have a major disagreement!

Manhattan Precinct.

Inside the office, David also received the message. At that moment, he looked thoughtful, seemingly lost in thought.

Just then, the phone on the table rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Gavin calling. He immediately answered and said, "Go ahead."

"Inspector General David, I believe you are aware of the White House's nomination of Nuland. I have already departed for New York and would like to discuss this matter with you in person later."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Washington and New York are not far apart, and Gavin arrived here in just over an hour.

After entering the office, he said with a solemn expression, "According to the information I have received, Patten is very dissatisfied with the New York purge, and our director did not resign voluntarily this time. The White House nominated Nuland because it wants to completely regain control of the FBI."

David wasn't surprised to hear this. He asked calmly, "Based on my understanding of our president, he must have some trump card to dare to do this, right?"

"Yes, have you heard of Sullivan?"

"National Security Advisor Sullivan?"

"Yes."

"Go on."

Sullivan David had certainly heard of him; he was currently a leading figure among the younger generation in America.

Moreover, this guy also formulated a series of foreign policy strategies for the United States, so he is indeed a very capable person.

"He's back in the country, and he must have reached some kind of agreement with the Freemasons to deal with you. It was under his persuasion that Paden finally decided to take action against you."

"I see... but that's not surprising."

He didn't know if Sullivan was a Freemason, but he was certain that the guy was a genuine Jew, so it was normal for the Freemasons to be able to get him involved.

"In the past few days, he's been making a lot of noise about the FBI. Besides persuading the director to resign, my superior, Adolf Hitler, has also announced his retirement. As for the other deputy directors, I think they'll also step down. If Nuland's nomination is approved, the FBI as an agency..."

Gavin didn't say anything more, but his meaning was already clear.

If things continue like this, the FBI will be completely back under the control of the White House.

David's brows were also slightly furrowed at this moment.

You have to understand that the FBI is one of the most powerful law enforcement agencies in the United States. Which one of those who have made it to the top of this agency would be willing to step down so easily?

And Sullivan has only been back in the country for a few days, yet he has already managed to get so many high-ranking officials in this organization on his side. That's quite an achievement.

"Don't worry, although the White House has the right to nominate Nuland, he needs the Senate's approval to take office. Let him get through that hurdle first!"

Under U.S. law, the president needs the Senate's approval to nominate heads of departments such as the Secretary of State, the CIA Director, and the FBI Director.

David still has control over the Senate. As long as he blocks this hurdle, Nuland will not be able to take office!

"That's what I think too, but like I said, Sullivan is a 'three-dynasty veteran' who has been through Obama, Thompson, and now Patton. He has both ability and personal charisma, so it's better to be more careful."

"Um……"

David nodded in agreement.

The two then discussed the FBI and Sullivan's affairs for quite some time, until Gavin finally left more than an hour later.

In his office, David picked up the phone, dialed the editor-in-chief of the Washington Post, and instructed, "Editor-in-Chief Pinkman, I'm sending you some materials. It's your turn to shine again..."

The following morning, a sharp article in the Washington Post drew national attention.

The reason it attracted nationwide attention is that the protagonist of the article is none other than Patden himself.

That's right, following the last one, the Washington Post has once again launched various attacks on Patden.

At the same time, in the White House, in the Oval Office.

"Fuck you, that damn Washington Post!"

Upon seeing this sharply worded article and the accusations from netizens, Paiden was nearly driven mad with anger.

"Mr. President, this is probably David's counterattack."

Sullivan immediately recognized that this was David's response to their pardon and the replacement of the FBI director.

"Damn it!"

This article was even more incisive than the last one, naturally infuriating Padden even more. He looked at his chief of staff and said, "Wild, I don't care what method you use, find a reason to shut down this Washington Post, and also deal with the people involved!"

"Mr. President, this is absolutely unacceptable! America has always revered heroism. Many people now regard the Washington Post and its editor Pinkman, who published the report, as heroes resisting tyranny. If we dare to take action against them at this critical juncture, the whole world will know that we are retaliating, and this will cause you to lose public trust!"

Wilder quickly offered his explanation.

This matter definitely cannot be handled this way. Even if it must be handled, which department should handle it?

If this kind of thing absolutely needs to be dealt with, it can only be done through the FBI.

We haven't regained control of this department yet, so we can't just send in the army, can we?

"Yes, sir, Wilder is right, we can't do it that way."

Hearing this, Paiden calmed down a little.

Because what the two said was indeed true. No matter how angry one is, retaliating in this way in front of the whole world would arouse public outrage.

In that case, not only would the problem not be solved, but the situation would be made even worse.

With this in mind, Patten suppressed his impulse and ordered, "Then hold a press conference immediately to strongly refute this 'slander'!"

"Mr. President, you are wise!"

Wilder breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned to make arrangements.

Soon after, a White House press conference was held.

All the media outlets were present, and under the global spotlight, Wilder stepped onto the stage.

He first vehemently criticized the Washington Post for making such a blatant attempt to defame the president without actually investigating the matter.

He then began to refute Pinkman's article point by point.

However, given that Pinkman's article only accused Piedon and did not provide detailed evidence,

So after Wilder's explanation, he managed to salvage some of his reputation, and some people across the country stopped their scathing criticism amidst their skepticism.

However, the good times didn't last long, shortly after Wilder's press conference ended.

Meanwhile, another article published by Pinkman in the Washington Post has reignited the emotions of the nation.

Unlike the previous article, this one doesn't simply criticize Paten's various actions.

This article lists various detailed pieces of evidence, including the Paden family's financial accounts, as well as the time, place, and people involved in some of the shady dealings between Paden's son and the Ukrainian and British Empire.

"Fuck, didn't the White House spokesperson say the president was being slandered? What does this Washington Post article say now?"

"This article details the various shady dealings of our president's son, even specifying the financial accounts, the people involved, and the locations. Surely this can't be considered slander?"

"Mr. President, we demand an explanation for why this happened!"

Such a detailed yet credible article has caused a complete uproar among the people of the whole country.

In fact, the American people are not incapable of accepting their president making mistakes.

For example, former President Clinton was involved in the Lewinsky scandal. If things hadn't been handled properly, he could have become another president, after Nicoson, to be forced to resign due to a scandal.

But Clinton was very smart, and he handled this scandal in the most correct way: he admitted his mistake!

In front of the entire nation, he cried and complained, saying things like "everyone makes mistakes" and "the president is only human," trying to gain sympathy.

Seeing his sincere attitude, the public's resentment subsided somewhat.

Upon closer reflection, Clinton's lamentation does have some merit. After all, the president isn't God, so it's normal for him to make mistakes.

Since our president has deeply realized his mistakes, he should be given a chance to correct them!

And so, the Lewinsky scandal in Cleveland was naturally resolved.

The same applies to the Paden incident, because everyone knows that the Paden family's son is indeed not very good, and can even be described as having a long history of bad deeds.

And now this scandal has been exposed.

If Patten were to step forward and admit his mistake, just like Clinton did back then, the anger of the crowd would subside considerably.

But now, instead of admitting your mistake, you, Patten, have had your chief of staff come out and accuse these of being slanderous.

Many people, seeing such a stern rebuttal, began to believe it to some extent.

But to everyone's surprise, the Washington Post countered with irrefutable evidence.

This made everyone feel like they'd been tricked, so it's no wonder they were angry!
