Chapter 1096 CIA and FBI intervene in wiretapping case
"Oh, the mark of a man's true maturity is marriage, and I'm glad, Ronald. You've got a traditional New England upper class look."

After getting a promise from George Jr., Ronald and Diane flew to Washington, DC.Ask the first family for fair legal and public opinion treatment.

Unfortunately today, the commander-in-chief has important matters to discuss with national security adviser Brent Scowcroft on national affairs.Ronald just took his new wife, Diane, and was entertained by the first lady Barbara in the White House.

Barbara is a traditional woman from a traditional blue blood aristocratic family. She values ​​the importance of family members the most. The marriage of Ronald and Diane made her think of Ronald much higher, at least not like that Like the former first lady Nancy, relying on extramarital affairs with men to rise to power.

"I heard that you invited the former grand commander and his wife to give a speech in your hometown?" Barbara's thoughts turned to Nancy's various jealousies when she was the first lady, and then looked at Ronald.

"Yes, Mrs. President, the Stanton constituency is the only constituency in New York State that voted for President George during the general election. We are working very hard to spread the values ​​of the elephant party there. We hope that in the next general election, The state of New York can vote for President George instead. I hope that the wife of the President can go to Staten Island to meet the voters who want to meet you when it is convenient."

"Very well, there are not too many young people like you now." Barbara was confused by Ronald's clever change of subject, and expressed satisfaction with Ronald.But rural places like Staten Island, I will not go.

After dinner, Diane went to talk to George's wife, Laura. Barbara waved to Ronald and asked him to go to the side hall to talk.

"I heard that you've run into some trouble?" Barbara's white hair looked stern under the light.

Before and after the election, the people around the Grand Commander and his wife who cater to them are completely different.Ronald asked her eldest son to get an opportunity to present his grievances. Barbara also gave special preferential treatment because of Ronald's contribution in the election campaign.

Ronald briefly said that he was wiretapped and the media was suppressed and did not report his situation, "Madame Grand Commander, I am not angry because I was wiretapped, but because of this blatant violation. The situation of law and public morality happened to me like this, but I have no way to be fair, this is not the spirit of America."

Barbara listened more carefully and motioned for Ronald to continue.

"Moreover, the most hateful thing is that they also bugged the hotel room where Diane and I stayed during our honeymoon. This is really too harsh on a newly married woman. I want to get justice for my wife .”

"Don't worry, I will mention this to George when he comes back. It's too much. There are too many villains in Hollywood." Barbara was satisfied when she heard that Ronald defended his wife so much. A few points.

"Um...", Ronald, who used the wife card, heard this sentence, and suddenly wondered if Barbara scolded himself together.Her resentment towards Nancy, who was born in Hollywood, is still very deep.

"Hi, Honey, who is the guest coming today?" The commander's voice sounded outside the door. He had just finished his official duties, and the assistant reminded him that his wife had a banquet for an old friend at the White House and invited him over.

"George, here comes Ronald and his new wife."

"Aha, it's Ronald. I'm so happy. Is this your new wife? What a couple of happy young people. It reminds me of the happy time when Barbara and I were first married."

Old George was in good spirits. Some things that happened in the White House today made him very annoying. When he came back, he could see Ronald Jr. and his new wife who had helped him, and he regained some family joy.

The commander's time is precious. After hearing about Ronald's affairs, he asked straightforwardly, "Tell me, Ronald, what do you need me to do for you?"

"...I have no idea of ​​asking for special treatment. I just need a fair environment, whether it is the rule of law or the freedom of the press. The wisdom of Mr. Datong must have thought of it. In Hollywood and the press, many Jewish people are united. , I was bullied enough by them."

Ronald made two requests. First, he exerted some influence to allow the FBI to intervene in the wiretapping case, exposing the black hands behind the scenes.Second, when I launch a counterattack in the media, I can also support him at the right time.

"Ronald, I can't interfere with the freedom of the press..." Old George said with a smile after hearing the two requests.As the commander-in-chief of America, thank goodness for not being attacked by the news media.He was not a communicator like the old Ronald, a natural fit with reporters.Although he has not been hunted down when he just took office, but in some matters, the reporters who participated in the White House press conference have resumed the habit of taking pleasure in making things difficult for the spokesperson.

"If my people ask questions about that at the press conference...", Ronald asked.

"He'll have a fair answer..." Old George smiled, and singing oboe was no problem.

"By the way, did the wiretapping suspect participate in the wiretapping in a state other than California? You know that the FBI investigation must be conducted in accordance with the law." Old George remembered another thing, he was afraid that Ronald, an artist, would not understand law.

"Although it didn't leave California, this incident involved CIA's decommissioned wiretapping equipment. My lawyer told me that the FBI can also intervene in the investigation with anti-espionage matters..." Ronald came prepared.

"Oh? What exactly is going on?" Old George suddenly felt his heart move when he heard this.

What he talked about with National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft today is such a matter of wiretapping technology.

It started a few years ago when an intelligence analyst named Jonathan Pollard (or his Israeli name Jonah) sold all the signals intelligence information obtained by American intelligence agencies to Israel.

Signal intelligence refers to the general term of image intelligence obtained through technical means, wiretapping of telephones, interception of secret messages, cracking of codes, or through satellites and reconnaissance aircraft.This Pollard is very harmful. The information he sells includes the training, technology, and management processes of more than a dozen intelligence agencies in America, which means that all core intelligence technologies in America are one-way transparent to Israel.

In [-], this Pollard was sentenced to life imprisonment by the court for stealing US signal intelligence technical data, and his wife Anne was also sentenced to five years in prison.

For this reason, the Israeli side has mobilized a large amount of power to carry out lobbying activities, hoping to exchange the spies arrested by America in Israel, or to conduct a tripartite exchange with the Sowell Alliance, but all were rejected.

More than three years later, Pollard's wife was released on bail due to physical reasons, and the call to rescue Pollard sounded again.He filed an appeal in prison, and there are also many Jewish congressmen and social leaders who hope that he can be released and return to Israel, which he helped.

This has aroused the anger of mainstream politicians who are mainly white. These Jews, who are in the great America, have Israel in their hearts all the time.Who is their homeland?When the interests of the two countries diverge, which country will they love?
Cheney, the Secretary of Defense in George Sr.'s cabinet, even told the media that this person's harm to the national security of America far exceeded what was disclosed, and that he should sit in prison until he died.

Even Donald Rumsfeld, an outsider think tank expert who once competed with George Sr. and was a special envoy to the general, told the news media that this person would not be allowed to be released on parole, otherwise it would cause serious damage to the Cold War and other national security.

However, even so, there are still many Jewish forces in the United States working for Pollard's release.The most exaggerated is the media industry.The major newspapers reported that Pollard was sentenced to life imprisonment after confessing all the crimes. This is an obvious phishing strategy of the prosecution...

A political science professor and Orthodox Jewish activist named David Lucchins is organizing more prominent Jewish figures to sign a petition calling for Pollard's release.

For a while, the question of whether the Jews were traitors to America began to arise in the hearts of a large number of low-level people, and the overall anti-Semitic sentiment rose significantly again.

……

"This matter happened to be handled by Webster..." The commander-in-chief Old George saw an opportunity for political manipulation through this matter.

In [-], the former Grand Commander carried out the last important reshuffle.Former FBI Director William Webster has been appointed as the new head of the CIA.His position in the FBI was held by a conservative, the chief judge of the Federal District Court for the Western District of Texas, William Sessions.

These two positions are nominated by the Grand Commander, and under normal circumstances, there is no special reason and will not be removed.So after George Sr. took office, they still held their original posts.

However, things are unpredictable. The new FBI director William Sessions, who was originally considered a conservative member of the Elephant Party, has become too close to the donkey party liberals in the Senate after taking office.He advocated that the FBI should be fair, promoted many female and minority officials, and made the traditional FBI upper-level "old boys" angry.

Since George Sr. took office, he has also violated the will of the commander-in-chief and the party several times, and did not support the investigation led by the Xiang party.

Old George had long wanted to give this fool a warning, and just as Ronald's case came to his door this time, he asked the current head of the CIA, Webster, to contact the old department of the FBI to give Sessions a shocking education.

The next day, at the National Security Conference held by the Grand Commander, Webster, the head of the CIA, specifically raised the situation of Pollard's appeal.Reiterated the immeasurable damage his betrayal had done to the intelligence community.

In Luo’s wiretapping case, the wiretapping device used was used by Webster as an example of evidence. The theft of technical data allowed Israeli intelligence agencies to imitate it, and then sold it to intelligence brokers in various countries in the name of civilian use, even including Cold War opponents...

"And the FBI agents actually said that this matter did not involve national security, and they did not file a case for review? When I was the director, they could at least read through the training materials and understand the FBI's scope of authority..."

CIA director Webster's cynicism made the FBI director feel extremely embarrassed. In the end, the commander-in-chief relieved him and asked him to immediately arrange people to investigate, and not to let go of any clues that endanger national security.

Sessions' embarrassment returned to the game and turned into boundless anger.

He scolded the director of the Los Angeles branch, and rejected the idea of ​​his subordinates immediately setting up an investigation team, telling them to get out of the way, and stop embarrassing himself.Then, with a swipe of the pen, Sessions transferred Claire, the most capable female detective in the New York Bureau and his favorite female detective, to Los Angeles and asked her to lead the investigation.

"This is the key evidence in this case, all the documents about the wiretapping device, please sign for it." In the New York branch, Claire obtained the documents sent by the CIA with great efficiency, including some of the documents sent by Paula before In the German trial, there is no public part.

"Thank you for your help and cooperation..." Claire quickly signed for the documents. She and a male subordinate, carrying various documents, took the bureau's plane and rushed to Los Angeles.

……

"Very good, the evidence here is well preserved..."

When he arrived at the Beverly Police Station, the first thing FBI Inspector Claire did was to retrieve the most important evidence wiretapping device. After quickly taking over the evidence, the technical experts who came together checked it, and it was completely correct. It is the special design style of CIA.

"This is a member of your joint investigation team, Inspector Claire, and now this case belongs to you." Sheriff John of the Beverly Hills Police Department also knew about the incident, and now he hopes that someone will take this hot The potato took it.

"Very well, let's interrogate Craig Stevens." Claire was wearing a jacket with the bright yellow FBI lettering on the back, arranging work for several elite soldiers seconded to them by the Beverly Police Department.

The FBI generally does not have too many manpower, and this kind of case will absorb some local forces to form a joint investigation team.These people belong to the FBI command for the time being.

"Yes..." Two men and one woman, several police elites, were wearing vests with the words "FBI Joint Investigation Team" in white, and they were soon ready for interrogation.

"Craig Stevens? I'm Inspector Claire from the New York Bureau of the FBI... This time I'm here on assignment from the General Administration, and I'm here to ask you some questions..." The female detective replied calmly. The suspect glanced at her ID, then added with a smile:
"I know you have some things that you didn't tell the previous interrogator. Now, do you have anything to add?"

"I..." Looking at the words FBI on the opponent's body, beads of sweat on Craig Stevens' forehead suddenly began to flow.Why did you call the people from the FBI headquarters again?This time it's not the Los Angeles branch that the boss behind him is familiar with...

The chain reaction starts immediately.

The news that Craig Stevens was interrogated by the FBI headquarters was quickly found out by Anthony Pellicano, a powerful private investigator who hired him.Pellicano has always been the No. 1 choice for powerful people in Hollywood who want to settle things. After he learned about it, he also knew that things were not good, so he called his client.

After passing the news several times, it reached Michael Ovitz again. By the time he knew it, it was already night.

"What's going on here? Why is there a federal force involved?" Ovitz was also a little frightened. It would be difficult to catch this level of investigation if it came to him.He immediately called the old Jewish men who were hiding behind his back.

"What's the matter with you boy? Pollard, who we are trying our best to rescue, is also involved in this matter now... Now anti-Semitism has started to stir up waves again, and we also have many opponents here staring at us... That kid named Ronald, didn't you say that he has no upper-level connections?"

"How do I know?" Ovitz was very wronged. I carefully watched the inauguration ceremony of the Grand Commander frame by frame. The rumors that Ronald and the Grand Commander had a good relationship were simply nonsense.

"In my opinion, he has joined forces with some anti-Semitic forces. He said something dissatisfied with the Jews here..."

Ovitz thought for a long time, how could Ronald have such strength.It must be Pollard's appeal that caused the anti-Semitic whites to form a group. They used Ronald's wiretapping case to set off a big wave and cut off the Jewish motherland's rescue of Pollard.

"Call these people, I want to report the situation to them." Ovitz asked the secretary to call those high-ranking Jews in Hollywood one by one. This time, he wanted to reveal the true face of Ronald's anti-Semitism to the public...

……

"I will stay in New York for a few days to prepare for some media matters." Ronald stroked Diane's hair twice, this time she was going back to Los Angeles first.Ronald would still have to sit in New York to see how a media backlash against the wiretapping would unfold.

"Okay, Ronnie, remember to come back, don't stay in New York for too long." Diane kissed Ronald and boarded the gangway of the business jet.

"Hi..." Ronald knew that Diane's implication was not to stay with Helen for too long and forget about his real wife, so he could only wave goodbye to Diane.

"Ronald, Michael Douglas would like you to call him back."

Back at the apartment on Fifth Avenue, before Ronald could call Helen, Richard hurried over, "Michael said it was very important."

"Hey, Michael, are you looking for me?" Ronald had no choice but to call back Michael Douglas, the actor who got along well.

"Ronald, are we friends? Well... As a friend, please tell me the truth, do you have any views on Jews?"

"What do you think? You Jews are excellent theater actors. I have worked with many Jewish actors and screenwriters. My most successful movie Dirty Dancing is about Jews..."

"I believe you..." Michael Douglas also didn't believe the rumors he heard from his father. How could Ronald be anti-Semitic?
"But now in Hollywood Jewish circles, there is a rumor that you are a hidden anti-Semite."

"I don't know who's spreading the rumors about me, I definitely don't mean to be anti-Semitic, wait, is Ovitz saying this?"

"Yes, he said that when you were face to face with him, you spoke a lot of language that you don't like Jews." Michael Douglas also readily admitted that it was the words passed by Ovitz. "If you're not anti-Semitic...I'm sure you don't have this kind of thinking...you have to act, this kind of rumor is very troublesome..."

"You know what, Michael..." Ronald raised his voice an octave, "I hate this man Ovitz, he doesn't say a word is true."
