One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty-Seven

The reporters were all excited at this time, why did you come to this hearing after all the hard work.

Isn't it just for such a scene?

In fact, for these journalists and media, whether Pompeo is corrupt or not is not important at all.

The most important thing is topicality. As long as there is a topic, something to watch, and enough attention and audience to attract, that is the key.

After all, there are ratings, and advertisers will find them to place advertisements.

As for other truths, justice, that's bullshit.

Otherwise, when the United States attacked Iraq, why didn't they stand up to help the Iraqis uphold truth and justice?

Why, no one jumped out to speak for Libya?

After all, the United States overthrew the rule of these countries, but there is really no definite evidence.

And Byrd. McCarthy and Richard. Daly also knew that he couldn't get entangled in this topic at this time.

Otherwise, if you don't cherish the lives of CIA agents, this hat will be pinned to them.

At that time, if the nickname of the butcher is really confirmed, then their careers in the Senate will be over.

The two exchanged glances, but luckily they also arranged for another trump card.

And then Bird. McCarthy said to McGee Pompeo with a smile.

"Well, since Mr. Pompeo doesn't admit that there was anything tricky in that transaction, you don't think you care if I find a few witnesses to confront you?"

This is their carefully prepared trump card.

You must know that although Pompeo has left the CIA, he has been operating there for two years.

Although it didn't take long, he bloodbathed the team left behind by his predecessor, and replaced all of them with his own in important positions.

Those who were promoted later were all very grateful to him.

After all, if Pompey didn't bloodbath the troops left behind by his predecessor, they would have no chance at all.

So even though Pompeo left the CIA later, these backbone forces of the CIA are still grateful to him.

There are even many people who are still looking forward to him, secretly loyal to him.

At the beginning, Bird and Richard tried their best to find the right person in the CIA.

At the beginning, they spent several million just fishing, and finally they hooked Richarlison and Joey Barton.

And these two people are also considered by them to be the trump card against Pompeo.

Don't you Pompeo think that everyone in the CIA is loyal to you?

Well, we will find two hidden clues for you from the CIA, so that you will be hard to guard against.

The two calculated well, but Pompey's face suddenly changed at this moment.

"There are witnesses? Are you doubting me?"

"Why didn't you notify me before?"

Seeing Pompey's expression suddenly changed, Byrd and Richard were even more delighted at this moment.

It seems that the two ambushes this time really caught Pompey by surprise.

Little did he know, they had prepared witnesses.

Seeing his flustered look at this time, the two of them became even more certain that they would win this time.

The ticket is in your hands!

"Mr. Pompeo, since you have been emphasizing that you are innocent, there is nothing wrong with that purchase."

"Then presumably, you shouldn't be nervous about this confrontation. Besides, we just found two witnesses to explain to everyone. You don't have to be nervous at all."

As Richard said, ignoring Pompeo's reaction, he called the guards to bring one of the witnesses up.

The witness was none other than Joey Patton, the station chief of the CIA in Kandahar.

He looks like he is in his fifties this year. He is not tall, but he is very stout.

Especially the thick neck, which makes him look more like a boxer, and his thick chestnut hair.

With a beard all over his face, he looks like a typical Midwestern redneck image.

It's just that his eyes flickered a little at this time, as if he didn't dare to look at Pompey at all.

And Bird and Richard on the stage, seeing Joey Barton's expression and looking at Pompeo's suppressed anger expression on the opposite side, knew that they must have found the right witness this time.

"Hello, sir, please state your identity."

"Dear senators, everyone, my name is Joey Barton, and I am the CIA..."

Joey Barton sat across from Pompeo, bowed his head and reported his identity and position.

"Mr. Patton, in 201X, Mr. Pompeo, then the director of the CIA, approved a purchase worth $150 million, did you know that?"

"I know!"

"You told us before that Mr. Pompeo embezzled 30 million US dollars in this purchase, right?"

Bird. McCarthy suddenly asked straightforwardly.

Joey Barton, who was sitting next to them, suddenly trembled, and the reporters behind him stared at this guy with red eyes.

In the entire multifunctional hall, it was so quiet that it was as if a needle could be heard when it dropped.

This farce is finally about to enter high C, everyone has worked so hard to squeeze in, isn't it just for this moment?

Finally, the Elephant faction showed their trump card.

So at this time everyone wants to hear this Joey Barton and give an affirmative answer.

If he nods, then the largest corruption case in the history of the United States may have been born.

This will not only affect the fate of McGee Pompeo, but may even affect the trend of the general election at the end of this year.

So at this time, everyone held their breath and concentrated, waiting for this Joey Button to give an answer.

"No, I never said that Mr. Pompeo embezzled 30 million U.S. dollars. Don't wrong good people."

"In fact, we all admire Director Pompeo's character very much. At that time, many leaders in the bureau disagreed. Mr. Pompeo spent 150 million to build a high-level safe house to ensure the safety of our secret service personnel."

"In the eyes of those people, our ground agents are consumables, consumables that can be sacrificed at any time."

"But Director Pompeo doesn't think so. He insists that each of us is a soldier of Millikin and deserves the best treatment."

"That's why he resisted all opinions and insisted on building those high-end safe houses."

"And these safe houses also played an important role, saving the lives of at least 15 of our colleagues that year."

"He not only saved fifteen lives, but also saved fifteen families, and made fifteen names missing from the hero wall in front of the bureau..."

Joey Barton's words, Bird sitting on the table. McCarthy and Richard. Daly was all dumbfounded.

Ma De, this bastard has betrayed...

You know, that's not what he told everyone before.

This bastard!

At this time, the reporters behind began to applaud wildly.

I have to say that this Joey Barton is quite good at acting, he made such a speech.

It made the gentlemen on the stage very angry, but it made the more emotional reporters behind them dare to move into a mess.

Especially the hostesses with blond hair and big bears looked at the national heroes in front of the stage with tears in their eyes.

Byrd and Richard exchanged a look, no, no, this Joey Barton can't talk anymore.

If you go on, there will be no need for this hearing.

Forget it, except for Joey Barton, they still have a Richarlison in their hands.

You must know that these two people, who don't know each other, will be witnesses in this hearing.

After they caught the handle of these two people before, they attacked them separately.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Button."

Although Byrd and Richard were already extremely angry at this time, it was not convenient for them to explode on the spot at this time.

After all, their main target today is Pompey. As long as this guy is brought down, they will have plenty of opportunities and time to deal with that Patton in the future.

The security guards of the Congress took Joey Barton down with great insight, and then brought another man up soon.

This person is also of medium build, about fifty years old.

It seems that this guy's image is similar to that of Joey Barton, both of whom are not tall, but very stout.

And they all have big beards, the only difference is that this guy has black hair and is obviously bald.

"Please introduce your identity."

"I'm Richarlison, the CIA station chief in Germany."

"Mr. Richarlison, we have received a report from you before, saying that your former supervisor has committed very serious corruption."

"Excuse me, is the supervisor you are talking about Pompeo sitting over there?"

Richard went straight to the leading questioning.

Joey Barton turned his back on the front line before, but it frightened him.

Looking at Pompey on the opposite side, there was still a flustered look on his face at this moment.

On the contrary, he looked complacent. Obviously, someone had leaked the news before.

He had contacted Joey Barton before, so that guy got cold feet.

And this Richarlison, although he had been within their monitoring range before.

But he was still worried that this guy would change his mind like Joey Button.

After all, this Pompey had already shown his energy before.

"What did you say? Why didn't I quite understand?"

"When did I report Director Pompeo to you? Don't wrong good people!"

"In fact, Director Pompeo is the most capable and clean leader I have ever seen. How could he be corrupt?"

"As for the $500 million procurement case you mentioned, I don't think there is any problem with that case."

"Director Pompeo is not against this procurement tender, it's all about keeping our safe house a secret."

"In fact, when he approved the bidding plan, he once said that because of his approval, he is likely to be attacked in the future because of it."

"Even so, he still approved that purchase and took the risk alone."

"Because of this, in my opinion, he is the most responsible and capable bureau chief!"

"How can a person with such a noble character be corrupt?"
