David DeWitte

David DeWitte, was an American former businessman, socialite and power-broker and a member of the infamous DeWitte family. DeWitte was also an important ally and pawn in Alexander Walker's rise to power. David was born as the first of two children to small-time US businessman Patric DeWitte who had run unsuccessfully for the US Congress. David inherrited his father's estate and wealth early on following the completition of his military service and became a very famous and powerful socialite in Texas and Washington D.C. DeWitte founded a web of clubs featuring "ladies of the night" to typically entertain high ranking US Military officials or bureaucrats as well as businessmen involved in oil and weapon trading. It was around this time that he met Congressman Alexander Walker, a young and ambitious man with a publically dashing profile but a privately sinister one. DeWitte had tried to manipulate one of Walker's staffers and the Congressman was having none of it, flying to meet with DeWitte in Texas. While he had planned to take more serious measures should DeWitte oppose him, Walker found it intriguing to see so many so-reffered to "second-in-command" men and women there. They were people who served those at the tops as well as many military uniforms around. Alexander offered DeWitte to clean up one of his mistakes involving a massacre of a village in the Middle East by DeWitte's younger brother's platoon, Marcus DeWitte, and in exchange David DeWitte would serve the Congressman in a sort of "semi-partnership". Walker then ordered his assassin Horton to silence and clean up anything related to the younger brother's war crimes.

When Walker became Vice-President of the United States, DeWitte gained more prominense in Washington dealings at Walker's discretion. He had many "ladies of the night" engaged with many of Walker's rivals and thus fed information to the Vice-President, in exchange for business contracts to his allies or a voice in foreign affairs. DeWitte lived a loxurious life-style and was highly interested, and become a collector, of Italian Reinessance art and culture, as well as European history. He was however quite opposed to the fundamentalism and terror-waves he perceived as dangerous to America and the global peace that had manifested itself within the Middle East. DeWitte firmly blamed Iran and used his parties and gatherings to influence his guests against the Iranians. This was something he shared in common with the VP. Well into President Stanton's first-term, the Vice-President approached him offering him the prospect of an invasion of Iran and ordered him to orchestrate a serious of events that would trigger Stanton's downfall.

DeWitte secretely leaked photos and hardproof on several Congressmen who were politically alligned with Stanton to federal prosecutors, who then combined them to open an official investigation into the whole Congress for their sexual misconduct and highly unethical and unprofessional behavior. The investigation turned into a huge scandal and when the proof was challenged by the Congressmen, DeWitte produced a dozen witnesses, thus making this a fully-blown media anarchy. The Vice-President then had him go after Stanton's Cabinet and diminish their status by implicating the Secretary of Commerce's acceptance of bribes. Next, Walker ordered him to hit the President. DeWitte used his connections to military personel to report on immoral and illegal behavior that Stanton had exhibited in ordering strikes against US citizens, this shattered the President's reputation completely and the House Judiciary Committee and the Department of Justice were now considering impeaching President Stanton. The Supreme Court was also in a deadlock, because they didn't have a 5th majority, and with the President in no position to nominate anyone due to his legal troubles, and with a Congress equally unable to give any attention to it due to their own investigation the country was sick of their government. DeWitte's actions only benefited one man, Alexander Walker. Who took the moment to gain the people's trust. By publishing a lot of private information about himself, and with a bright family, career and military service, Walker was referred to as "America's Favourite Vice-President". Eventually, DeWitte was ordered by the VP to cast the final blow by presenting witnesses to testify against Stanton and twisting the arm of a corrupt official to indict the President. With all of these charges above his head, Stanton pleaded to meet with Walker. There he had his Vice-President promise him that if he were to resign, Walker would grant him a full and unconditional pardon for any and all crimes he may or may not have committed as President. Walker agreed, and following Stanton's resignation, he became the new President of the United States, finally achieving his long-term plan of conquering the White House and initiating the invasion of Iran.

Following all of these events, and with a termanial sickness hanging over him, DeWitte became increasingly demanding on the new President and wanted more influence over the conduct of the invasion of Iran as well as using his "socialities" network to control the nation by filling up his people in the FBI and NSA, the latest in a new strategy he had considered. After a fallout between the two powerful men, Walker had Horton murder DeWitte and most of his personal assistants, making sure that nothing could be tied back to him.

\*\*A CONVERSATION BETWEEN DEWITTE AND WALKER, , LANDRY\*\*:

Walker: Well those prosecutors you brought up did a fine-wine-like job in taking down those smug a##holes. I'm telling ya, anything that can put Congress' p#nties in this big a bunch deserves recognition.

DeWitte: Well, I can have them send you a list of the witnesses I have prepared for each Congressman's downfall if you'd like Mr. Vice-President.

Walker: Yeah, send it to Ted later. Now, look, Congress is done, the Supreme Court is tied up and will remain like that until my say-so, and Lewis is finished, but now I need you to hit the Executive Branch hard David!

DeWitte: But I-I thought that Secretary Lewi-

Walker: Oh please, everybody knew that Lewis as a corrupt sumb#tch. Nobody reporting on it as a different pastry. We just kept quiet. It's what I call a "public secret". No, I need you to hit the top, the end of the latter, I need you to destroy Stanton.

DeWitte: W-why not another Cabinet member, I can give you stuff on the UnderSe-

Walker: No no! I need the Cabinet completely backing me on this one. Now I know that Lewis was necessary to shake the public's confidance in Stanton but I can't have more than one Secretary be looked into or the people might start asking if Stanton's VP is the same beer. It's a good thing that the GOP Caucus pushed for my nomination as Vice-President, I was naturally, not Stanton's first choice after I teared him a new one in those primaries. No, I need you to take the President out.

DeWitte: I don't know sir, with all due respe-

Walker: Oh don't you use that phrase with me! "With all due respect" is a blatan implication that whatever follows next will lack in nothing but respect.

Landry: Look, David, the Vice-President wants you to make this happen. He authorized me to present you with this (HANDS DEWITTE A FILEHOLDER). These are classified files detailing the President signing off on an order to hit a town where he knew that US citizens were residing in a hotel.

DeWitte: How did you...wait...if he knew then...that means you knew too?

Walker: Of course we knew, I had Admiral Pettibone draft it and force him to sign off on it!

DeWitte: But sir then this is-

Walker: Now look here, David. If I wanted your opinion I'd invite you up for tea in the Naval Observatory, but I don't like you staining my cushions, so, you take care of this, and you will be payed in full!....(\_SIGHNS\_) Look David, this is the only way to destroy the fundamentalists in Teheran. You and I both know how much American blood has already been spilled due to their shenanigans, we, me and you can put an end to it, together we can restore hope, peace, justice and security to the Persians and protect young Americans from giving their ultimate treasure of lives to senseless conflicts in the Middle East. But that can only happen with me in charge, Stanton is weak and will never go for this. He isn't fit for being the President. When the Commander-in-Chief is a weakling who can't even man up to crush a couple of nothings, you put 'im out of his micery.

(WALKER PUTS ON HIS COAT)

Walker: I'll be waiting for your call from my car, I have a couple of meetings to attend to. Bye now David.
