Dewey gritted his teeth, the muscles on both sides of his jaw clenching.
"What do you want to say?" Dewey asked in a low voice.
"Heh, Governor, if I remember correctly, accepting foreign political donations is against federal law. If the public finds out that a presidential candidate they support has broken federal law by accepting political donations from foreigners, they will be very upset."
"Wouldn't they think, 'Has our candidate been bought by foreigners? Will he betray American interests in the future? Is it right to support such a candidate? Don't you think they might think that way?"
Dewey's mind was in turmoil. The last thing he wanted had happened someone knew about his acceptance of foreign political donations and was now using it to threaten him.
