America 1919-Chapter 1107 - 378. Donnie departs for Washington_2

Edgar Hoover immediately thought that Donnie was preparing to target him!

Such calculations made Edgar Hoover restless; Angola Cohen wasn’t in Washington now, and he didn’t dare to find anyone to discuss this!

It’s not that Edgar Hoover no longer has a voice in the FBI; in reality, the FBI is still Edgar Hoover’s domain, and everyone looks to him!

But after the Rhode Granger incident, Edgar Hoover had lost trust in everyone!

He didn’t know who might be someone sent by Donnie.

Facing Donnie now, he dared not seek anyone’s advice on this matter.

Thinking of this, Edgar Hoover couldn’t help but scratch his head; if he had known at the time that things would turn out this way, he certainly wouldn’t have acted as he did.

After pondering for a long time, Edgar Hoover dialed a number!

"Mr. Gana, I think we need to meet now!"

There’s a slight silence on the other end of the line, then after a while: "Alright, I’ll wait for you at home!"

Edgar Hoover hung up the phone and left the FBI building.

Edgar Hoover drove around a few times, ensuring that no one was following him before he headed to the residence of John Garner, the minority leader of the U.S. House of Representatives!

John Garner, like the vast majority of political figures in the United States, had a background as a lawyer.

John Garner started his political career in Texas; he first successfully ran for the county judge of Uvalde County, Texas.

Thereafter, from 1898 to 1902, he served in the Texas House of Representatives and won an election in 1902 to represent Texas in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Representative for Texas’s 15th congressional district.

If the timeline remains unchanged, by 1930, John Garner will become the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. In 1932, he received the Democratic Party’s nomination for President, but ultimately within the Democratic Party, John Garner lost to Franklin Roosevelt, becoming Franklin Roosevelt’s running mate instead. Early in 1937, he opposed Roosevelt on the issue of expanding the Supreme Court, arguing that the Supreme Court had become overly concentrated in presidential hands, thereby helping to overturn the Supreme Court.

In the 1940 presidential election, Garner again sought the presidency, but Roosevelt won the Democratic presidential nomination at the 1940 Democratic National Convention.

Garner was succeeded by Henry A. Wallace as Vice President and retired from public office in 1941.

When Edgar Hoover met John Garner, he wasted no time with pleasantries, directly saying: "Donnie Block has come to Washington!"

John Garner sat on the sofa, a glass of whiskey beside him: "I know, the President is already preparing a small welcome party for him at the White House!"

Edgar Hoover frowned again, unable to help but say: "You should know the reason for his visit! I followed your advice back then, and now I’m breaking with Donnie Block; if I lose my position as FBI Director, it’ll be even harder for you to get hold of any dirt on the Republicans!"

John Garner looked up, coldly staring at Edgar Hoover and said: "Are you threatening me?"

Edgar Hoover shook his head and said: "I’m just stating a fact; if I’m ousted, it won’t benefit any of us!"

John Garner picked up his glass, looked calm, and said: "If you think Donnie Block’s arrival in Washington will affect your position as FBI Director, then you just shouldn’t let him come to Washington!"

Edgar Hoover’s face suddenly changed; he understood John Garner’s meaning, but it was precisely because of that he felt a chill in his heart.

Now Donnie Block was no longer a nobody; to say something bluntly, if anything happened to Donnie Block now, the entire United States would tremble thrice.

"Mr. Gana, what’s your meaning?" Edgar Hoover confirmed with John Garner.

John Garner put down the glass, his eyes cloudy as he looked at Edgar Hoover, asking: "What did I just say?"

"Right!" Edgar Hoover suddenly regained clarity: "I just said, if you really are removed from the position of FBI Director, we will also find you a job; your life definitely won’t have any problems!"

"Old fox!" Edgar Hoover cursed inwardly but still said: "I can’t trust the people at the FBI now; if this leaks, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"What FBI? I’m talking about work matters, I don’t know anything about anything else!"

After speaking, John Garner got up, "I’m tired; let’s talk about this another day. However, these days I’m going to attend the small party Mr. President is hosting for Donnie Block, so I’ll probably be occupied during this period!"

After Edgar Hoover walked out of John Garner’s residence, he sat alone in his car, his mind unsettled.

At this moment, a small scale appeared in his mind, with a demon and an angel on either side!

The demon was telling Edgar Hoover: "Do it. According to Donnie Block’s character, he won’t trust you again; eliminate Donnie Block and you can continue to secure your current power!"

The angel was advising Edgar Hoover: "You can’t do it. You don’t have anyone completely trustworthy by your side now; what if there’s someone planted by Donnie among your selections? Right now, you two are only at odds, but it’s not yet a matter of life and death. If you do this, you’ll enter a scenario of no return with Donnie Block!"
