Chapter 671: Chapter 337: Mass Defection, The Legislators Are Dumbfounded_3
“`
Moreover, one must realize that from the announcent to the decision to hold the hearing, there were only two or three days, and the mbers were not disclosed. How did David manage to find out the list in such a short ti and secretly get these people on his side?
That’s just preposterous!
It could almost be said to be the most preposterous thing that Mitchellson and all the Congressn present had encountered in all their years in the Arica Congress.
“Congressman Mitchellson, please continue to answer my previous question. Where did these photos co from, which region and which branch office? Are you intentionally taking things out of context to guide the public in accusing our Internal Revenue Service? If you don’t explain yourself clearly, that would equate to slinging mud at our Internal Revenue Service!”
David had already seen that the turmoil caused by the layers had thrown the Congressn onstage into disarray. Where would he continue sitting idly by? He stood up, ready to demand a public explanation.
...
“Yes, Inspector David is right. The details here must be explained clearly. Otherwise, how is it different from slinging mud?”
“Their own legal team has nothing to say, and they dare to hold a hearing to accuse the Tax Bureau. This is really a bit of a farce.”
“Previously, Mitchellson and other Congressn were boasting about what they would do to the Tax Bureau in this hearing. Now, what a joke it has beco!”
Onstage, although Mitchellson had no idea what the online public opinion was like, judging from the surrounding dia journalists and the atmosphere, he could guess that the entire country seed to be laughing at them, which made him so angry that veins bulged, yet he didn’t know how to retort.
Because at hearings, the Congressn were only responsible for presenting the charges against the summoned party and adding drama to the scene, but how to accuse and cent the charges was the responsibility of the legal team.
Now with the legal team’s collective betrayal and his lack of prior preparation, coupled with the absence of professional ability and eloquence, he naturally had no way to retaliate.
After a long pause, with frustration, anger, and even a hint of pleading in his eyes, Mitchellson looked towards Turpin, Latou, and other mbers of the legal team, hoping they would change their minds and speak up for him.
But unfortunately for him, the legal team ignored his glances and remained motionless, as if petrified, in their seats.
“Damn it!”
Mitchellson cursed inwardly, then turned his gaze to Langman, the mainstay, but to his dismay, Langman was just as disorganized by the sudden collective betrayal as he was, with no strategy left to deploy, and could only remain silent.
In the end, Mitchellson, knowing he had no power to turn the tides, no longer wished to continue the embarrassnt and simply stood up to leave his seat.
Seeing that the representative figure of the hearing had left, the other Congressn, after exchanging glances, had no choice but to leave dispiritedly.
“What’s happening, why are the Congressn leaving just like that?”
“This is a hearing, how can they just leave?”
“The hearing has taken an unexpected turn; it seems the mbers of the legal team have been turned, what else could the Congressn do but leave and not continue to be laughed at?”
“This must be the most ludicrous hearing in the history of the Arica Congress, isn’t it? Unbelievable!”
The sudden turn of events not only baffled the dia journalists present but also the public watching the live broadcast online.
Such a developnt in a hearing was unprecedented in all the years of Arica.
However, it didn’t take long for many to understand the reason.
At hearings, the division of labor between the Congressn and the legal teams was always clear: the Congressn impeached the summoned targets, and the legal teams used their professional skills to rebut the answers and affix the charges.
To put it plainly, the Congressn at the hearing are the employers, and the legal team are the thugs. Now that the thugs are not taking action, how can the employer, no matter how wealthy but lacking in force (the professional skills of the lawyers), possibly overco the opposition?
Only through collaboration can the summoned targets be most effectively charged.
Now, with the legal team having all defected, the remaining Congressn naturally found it impossible to act alone, so how could the hearing possibly continue?
Therefore, their departure was rely a matter of saving face.
