Chapter 367: The White House's Joy and Worries

Sawyer was at a loss for words and only managed to respond after a long pause, "To tell you the truth, Chief Inspector David, the position of Director of the CIA's Intelligence Agency is a critical one; even if I recommend it, if the President disagrees, it might not lead to Director Elvis' promotion..."

"The President? He only has the power to appoint and dismiss Cabinet members. The position of Director of the Intelligence Agency is beyond his reach, as long as you all agree."

There's an old saying in France, "My vassal's vassal is not my vassal."

This saying applies just the same in America.
