Chapter 163: Can a Senator be Convicted?


"Ladies and gentlemen! Linda here with a live report. Breaking news, we have confirmed that California Senator Paddy has been taken by the DEA for investigation!"

"Breaking news, Congressman Paddy is possibly involved in multiple cases..."

"According to unnamed sources, there are many cases against Paddy..."

A state senator still carries significant weight.

Paddy has been taken by the DEA for investigation.

This immediately sparked reports from many media outlets.

Although he's just a state senator, Paddy is definitely not a minor figure.

The key here is that it's the DEA.

Everyone in the United States knows what the DEA does.

So, just this incident itself doesn't need a conviction against Paddy.

This alone is enough to become a scandal for Paddy.

Moreover, from an investigative perspective.

The DEA is no fool; they wouldn't make a move easily without sufficient evidence.

Especially when the target is a state senator.

Paddy is definitely in hot water!

Not just KNBC, but also local stations like KGTV in San Diego and others.

Many media outlets from California that could come, have come.

And there's also a variety of online discussions.

Even though Americans seem anti-intellectual, there are still some who understand.

These people also talk about political matters.

It's like some TV stations have it all figured out.

After live reports, they immediately throw in some highly logical 'discussions'.

For example, Bill O'Reilly, a veteran host on Fox Television Network, discussed it on his show.

Historically, many American congressmen have been involved in criminal issues.

This old guy has a way about him; no wonder he's a major figure at Fox, and a barometer for them.

He directly talks about history on TV.

But the savvy know, is this about history?

This is just setting someone up!

To put it bluntly, it's arranging the outcome for Paddy.

Anyway, we don't know which crime you committed.

But it doesn't matter; we'll first list many examples from the past.

When the time comes, and you're found guilty, we'll fit you into them.

Bill O'Reilly is no saint, but on Fox TV, he's indeed a ratings magnet.

Many Americans think his political commentary shows are top-notch.

However, Fox is the mouthpiece of the Republican Party.

California is now a stronghold for the Democratic Party.

Most congressmen are also largely from the Democratic Party.

Didn't Congressman Paddy previously express his statements in that related topic?

Completely aligned with the Democratic Party's stance.

Now, how could Fox and Bill O'Reilly miss the opportunity to thoroughly bash him?

Of course, many people have also realized there's definitely a problem with Senator Paddy!

The Republicans should seize this opportunity to launch a fierce attack.

But what will the outcome be?

Actually, Paddy isn't the most anxious right now.

...

San Diego Center Hospital.

Vice President Carlos sat in the office chair.

He had an aura of despondency.

He wasn't like this originally.

He didn't expect that Zhou Mo Sen would target Paddy.

Moreover, he actually took down Paddy.

With the DEA involved, Paddy is definitely in serious trouble.

However, Carlos still has a glimmer of hope in his mind.

Paddy is a state senator after all.

He might not be so easily taken down in the end.

After all, this involves a lot of legal and procedural matters.

Maybe Paddy will be fine.

But this hope is really slim.

Carlos truly couldn't believe that Zhou Mo Sen made a move and... wait a minute.

Was it really Zhou Mo Sen's doing?

If it truly was his doing, wouldn't that prove that Zhou Mo Sen...

Is incredibly formidable!

Impossible!

Carlos, who just had this realization, immediately dispelled the thought.

Zhou Mo Sen couldn't be that powerful, it's absolutely impossible.

But, Carlos is honestly starting to feel scared now.

...

DEA.

"Congressman Paddy, we have gathered a lot of criminal evidence against you, I advise you to cooperate with us."

"I won't say anything until my lawyer arrives."

"Even when your lawyer arrives, nothing will change."

"Don't try to manipulate me, or it will be detrimental to you!"

"I hope you know, you're not the first congressman to come to us."

"Hmph!"

Captain Hank is conducting his routine duties.

This guy Paddy is definitely the biggest catch in his policing career.

And precisely because this fish is so big.

So, they made thorough preparations before taking action.

Blood Hand Cole was rescued and agreed to become a state witness.

Additionally, they gathered a lot of other evidence.

And this evidence... well, Captain Hank admits.

The current evidence doesn't directly show that Congressman Paddy is colluding with Mexican gangs.

However, when all this evidence is put together, it can form a complete chain of evidence.

They are policemen, but they are not ignorant of the law.

Police in the past might have been reckless.

They arrested people freely.

Sent them to prison, only for the lawyers to intervene.

Releasing them again.

Many Hollywood films have shown this.

So, Hank and his squad have studied the law as well.

Blood Hand Cole hasn't really met Congressman Paddy, but at least indirectly contacted Paddy's forces.

Of course, this 'seems' implies that Hank and his team don't fully trust Blood Hand.

This guy might still be hiding some things.

But it doesn't matter, the San Diego DEA, from top to bottom, believes.

They can definitely bring down this state senator, Paddy!

If successful, this would probably be the DEA's biggest achievement this year.

Uncovering a state senator connected to Latin American drug lords!

This indirectly means preventing a massive influx of drugs into the United States.

Seeing it any way, it's an enormous political achievement.

Hank feels he's about to reach the pinnacle of his career.

Even the director of the San Diego DEA thinks he will surely get a promotion.

Moreover, given the current situation... there are still many media outlets outside the DEA.

Of course, there are also many citizens watching.

If this case is handled well, the reputation of the San Diego DEA will definitely increase significantly!

Paddy is now silent, keeping quiet.

No problem.

We can wait.

But Hank's good mood lasted until Paddy's lawyer arrived.

Paddy's lawyer wasn't alone.

It was a team.

This lineup was indeed surprising.

Leading was a guy named David, who smiled and shook hands with Hank.

"Can I talk with my client?"

Of course, that's allowed, but that guy's face...

Hank immediately disliked him and even wanted to throw a couple of punches.

This legal team, did they delay the time just to assemble this group?

And Hank also saw that a big shot had arrived at his boss, the DEA director's office.

Could this iron-clad case be changing?

...

Palm Springs is closer to Los Angeles.

Zhou Mo Sen didn't rush back to San Diego.

He found a pub and ordered a drink.

Soon, a man came in and sat directly in front of him.

"Another drink."

The bartender nodded in response.

And the person opposite was Owen.

As soon as he sat down, his eyes fixed on the TV.

"Breaking news, the California Assembly has proposed a motion to impeach Senator Paddy..."

Zhou Mo Sen didn't watch the TV, but he heard the news.

"Shall we make a bet?"

Owen was curious, "Bet on what?"

"I bet Paddy might not end up in jail."

Owen heard this and raised an eyebrow, a wave of anger brewing inside.

But soon, he shook his head helplessly.

Should this bet still be made?
