The U.S. Congressional Hearing System is an important part of the U.S. Congress’ political life.

Specifically, it means that the Standing Committee or special committee of Congress holds public meetings on a specific issue, summons or accepts officials, representatives of interest groups, well-known bricks or individual citizens to attend, and listen to the evidence and opinions provided by them.

In terms of nature, congressional hearings can be roughly divided into four categories, and the next thing that Andy and the eight major banking institutions will face is the investigation hearings.

Investigation hearings are generally conducted on a specific issue, usually chaired by a standing committee or special committee of the Congress.

Parties summoned by Congress must attend the hearing and accept questions, otherwise they will be punished by justice. The hearing will not only help Congress understand the truth, but also provide useful information for formulating relevant policies.

The hearing system can not only realize information exchange between different interest groups or potential interest groups, as well as between them and the Congressional Committee, but also educate, publicize and persuade citizens during the hearing process.

And more importantly, in the "semi-ritualized" activities of hearings, we mediate conflicts of interest among different groups, eliminate safety hazards, and thus play the role of a social safety valve.

In fact, after the financial crisis, the "criticism meeting" has been staged in Congress many times. Today's "criticism meeting" is just one of them, but the appearance of the nine major financial giants at the same time has attracted more attention. Of course, in addition to exposing these hearings to the members of Congress and ordinary people watching TV, these hearings can also disclose some information and increase some transparency.

CP Building, Manhattan, New York.

Ivana, wearing a white close-fitting sweater, is very fashionable and also highlights her plump figure, especially the more amazing upper body. The white sweater can clearly see the outline of the nei and the protrusion that often makes Andy depressed. However, it makes her full of tempting mature charm, and her skirt shows her slender figure as golden proportions. It must be said that even if she is pregnant, Ivana's figure still maintains very good.

But today, she looked very serious and could not see a trace of smile. At this time, the smiling Ivana disappeared, and more of it had been transformed into her role as Andy Smith's fiancee, with a serious face and attached great importance to the Congressional hearing that day.

It really has to be taken seriously, because this hearing is a discussion on the whereabouts of federal aid funds, as well as compensation and additional benefits, which is a very important part of the recent criticism and questioning of my fiancé.

“…The bad weather has not stopped the anger of protesters, and outside the Capitol, dozens of protesters held up signs and yelled insults at the financial executives who had just walked out of the car.

The first one is mg Chase CEO Dimon, who has been appointed as mg Chase CEO since 2005. In 2008, his salary was US$28.8 million. mg Chase received a total of approximately US$25 billion in bailout...

Following closely behind is MG Stanley CyO, Mai Jinheng, who served as CyO in 2005, gave up bonuses in the past two years. In 2008, his salary was US$1.6 million, and he received a total of US$10 billion in government investment...

Wells Fargo Stamp, who became CEO in June 2007, earned $22.9 million in 2007 and received a $25 billion investment.

Bank of America CEO Lewis has served as Bank of America CEO since 2001, and his salary in 2007 was US$24.8 million. Currently, Bank of America has received a government injected $45 billion.

Goldman Sachs Blankfein, who took over as former Treasury Secretary Paulson in 2006, paid a record $70 million in 2007, and received a government funding of $10 billion.

....”

Ivana looked at the LCD TV screen, and every giant that appeared would attach photos and background information. Looking at the angry yelling of protesters on both sides of the Capitol, the expression on Ivana's face became even more serious.

"...The heads of the eight major banking institutions have arrived, and now only the chairman of Yingtai Bank, Andy Smith. As we all know, the executives attending the hearing today represent the nine most important financial institutions in the United States who survived this financial crisis.

Executives of companies that have gone bankrupt or taken over by the U.S. government, such as Lehman Brothers, American International Group, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mac, failed to attend the hearing, which has reduced the target of inquiries among lawmakers.

The former boss of Merrill Lynch Securities, Sain, who was supposed to participate, was absent because the company was acquired by Bank of America, so Yingtai Bank, which had just been acquired and integrated, who also received the aid funds, participated in Congressional inquiries instead..."

In the TV screen, NBC reporters wearing black coats, scarves and gloves broadcasting in the wind and snow were explaining to the people of the United States very much inclinedly why their boss Andy Smith attended the hearing.

In short, Andy Smith came to the hearing and was simply pulled to make up the numbers and suffered for others.

Ivana, who had a serious expression on his face, heard the reporter's report on TV, his lips raised slightly, showed a faint smile, and had his own mouthpiece, which was indeed different.

“…Here you come.”

The scene of the live report suddenly turned and aimed at the square in front of the Capitol. A group of eight cars drove in and stopped. The black Maybach door in the middle was opened by the bodyguards. A group of bodyguards stood guard all around. Andy Smith, wearing a black slim suit and a blue striped tie, walked out of the car and appeared in front of all the people watching the live broadcast of the hearing.

The tall, tall, handsome and handsome Andy looked calm in the face of the reporters swarming up. With the bodyguards leading the way, more than a dozen Wall Street elites surrounded him, stepping on the steps, and walking towards the main entrance of the Capitol.

Whether it was Ivana who saw Andy's calm expression and smiled sweetly, or Amandahurst, who was also watching in front of the TV, pointing at the TV and asking little Laura to call him dad, the emperor with a hint of worry on his face, Lima, who was caring for the baby with peace of mind, and other women, looking at Andy in the picture, his mind was different.

"This bastard..." Looking at Andy's calm and handsome face, Scarlett, who had been ignored by Andy for a long time, a trace of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes, but soon she gritted her teeth and cursed with shame.

"Tait--"

Many slightly messy footsteps sounded in the wide and bright hall of the Capitol. A staff member was stunned at first when he saw Andy Smith's slightly "large" lineup, but soon he met with a smile. After shaking hands and confirming, he led Andy and his group to the hearing scene.

The staff in the Capitol all looked at Andy Smith's slightly high-profile appearance and looked at him a little sideways. After all, among the nine people who came to participate in the criticism and controversy today, only Andy Smith brought more than five people. Well, if you count it, there are almost 30 bodyguards.

Especially the group of Wall Street elite dressed in high-end black dark striped suits, with hair wax-shaped hair, handkerchiefs folded in suit top pockets, expressionless faces, and each of them was wearing a black briefcase.

It’s no secret that Andy Smith has a very awesome think tank. Many people have guessed that this group of people should be. Many people look at each other. Seeing Andy Smith’s attitude, it definitely doesn’t seem like they are pretending to be criticized, but instead they are like they are fighting.

Damn, there is a good show!

When the door of the hearing hall was pushed open, Wuyang was a little noisy, and the hall filled with people was quiet. Everyone turned their eyes to Andy Smith, who was walking in the front, and the group of subordinates behind him also received a lot of attention, and many people looked thoughtful on their faces.

At the front, there were eight people sitting upright with serious expressions. When the eight big guys saw Andy's arrival, they stood up with a smile and shook hands with him. After all, everyone was an allies on the same front at this time, especially Lewis from Bank of America. She also hugged Andy very kindly, whispered and joked a few words.

The old men of the House of Representatives sitting on the high ground looked at all this, and all their eyes were flashing, and some even had a fierce light flashing in their eyes. They stared at Andy Smith and the other eight people, preparing to humiliate them for a while.

"Dongdong!"

The chairman of the hearing knocked the wooden hammer twice, and the venue became quiet. The other eight big shots sat down. Andy nodded to the chairman of the hearing with a faint smile, and sat in the chair very casually.

"Look, you are like the masters of the universe. It's not easy for you to take time to attend the hearing." California Donkey Rep. Votas looked at the ceo people sitting at the long table alphabetically, and his eyes were on Andy Smith, saying sarcastically.

"No, we are just small guards in the universe. You are the senate of the Galaxy Republic and the master of the Milky Way!" Andy looked at the female congressman expressionlessly and responded seriously.

"Puchi--"

"hehe..."

The originally serious hearing scene was replaced by a burst of laughter and chuckling. The people in front of the TV looked at Andy Smith, who was serious and nonsense, and laughed even more.

"Dongdong!"

The chairman of the hearing face was a little dark, hammered twice, stopping the snickering at the scene. He first glared at Andy Smith fiercely, and then glared at the female congressman who was angrily provoking.

The other eight financial giants all turned their heads and nodded with Andy. Andy pretended to be like why you looked at me like this and what did I do?, which made the audience in front of the TV even more amused.

"Note, the Galaxy Republic is the Galaxy Parliament in Star Wars, and the Supreme Speaker of the Galaxy Parliament is an evil Sith."
