Lee Soo-jin, former judge and member of the Democratic Party (Jidong-eul, Seoul) said: “If the prosecution systematically shakes the court and tries to damage the fairness of the trial, it is definitely unconstitutional.” It was an act, “he said,” the National Assembly should impeach Yun.

Congressman reads <오마이뉴스>He said in a phone interview with him. If the Attorney General violates the Constitution or the laws in the performance of his functions, the National Assembly may decide on an impeachment against the Attorney General when more than a third of the current members of the legislators present motions and the majority agrees. . ). If the impeachment proposal is approved, the Constitutional Court will issue the final judgment.

Representative Lee Soo-jin is the first member of the National Assembly to insist on Yoon’s impeachment after the Ministry of Justice punished him for suspension of duties on suspicion that he was responsible for the inspection of judges on 24. Assemblyman Lee also said: “If the attorney general is acting unconstitutionally, but the members of the National Assembly do not exercise the power of accusation for fear of various oppositions, it will be the abandonment of their functions.”

Representative Lee said, “After the judicial review documents were released, the judges were shocked to the point that they could not sleep,” he said. “Especially, it is difficult to know whether or not you are from the ‘Uri Legal Research Association’, which is a private organization. It is likely that you have entered.” Regarding the prosecution’s allegation that the drafting of such a document was custom, he pointed out that “the judges did not know anything” and pointed out that “the biggest problem is that the Prosecutor’s office is not aware of the illegality.

On the 26th, Mr. Yoon Seok-yeol’s lawyer Lee Wan-gyu, who is rebelling against the suspension of work and disciplinary action from the Ministry of Justice, said, “I don’t think I’m an inspector at all. I’ll leave it to the judgment of the public’s common sense. He’s been released. <오마이뉴스>He first reported the full text of this document (related article: [전문] “No presence” … “Easy to respond to the accusation” … Document of ‘Illegal investigation by judges’ published http://omn.kr/1qpx0).

-On the 24th, the Ministry of Justice mentioned the ‘Judge’s Inspection’ as one of the bases for Yoon’s suspension of duties. The day before, Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol’s attorney Wan-gyu Lee released the document that the Ministry of Justice had in question.

“I thought it was published by the Ministry of Justice, not by General Yoon. Looking at the content of the document, it was really absurd.”

-Which part do you think is the most problematic?

“Everything is amazing, but the most serious problem is that information like ‘send’, which is basically not objective and may not be true, has been systematically collected by a state agency called the prosecution.

First, unlike the prosecution, the judges do not move systematically or reproduce media. However, the fact that the prosecution, one of the parties to the trial, secretly collected information from behind and disseminated it to the media for the benefit of the trial, seems to have psychologically moved the judges. It was an act that made a decision at all and impaired the fairness of the trial. It really doesn’t make sense for a public official or a state agency to be doing this. “

    Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol is answering questions from lawmakers by attending the State Administration of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office of the Legislative Judicial Commission held at the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul on the 22nd.

-President Yoon Seok-yeol maintains that this document is not a “judge’s inspection.” The same goes for Chief Prosecutor Sung Sang-wook, who drafted this document. Attorney Wan-kyu Lee also released this document, saying, “I don’t think I am an inspector at all. I will leave it to the judgment of the public’s common sense.”

“So it’s a bigger problem. The prosecution has no knowledge of the illegality at all. Why the hell would they have collected this information? Someday not to use it in any way? If not, why would they have been doing this in secret?

This document contains information about the graduates of the ‘Korean Law Research Association’. This is information that the prosecution cannot know in a normal way. This is because the list of the Korean Law Research Association is not publicly disclosed even within the judiciary. There is an atmosphere where the members are also careful with each other. Because it is an informal private organization.

In that sense, it is also different from the “International Society for Research on Human Rights Law”, an official meeting of the Supreme Court. It was the court’s administration office, so the list of private organizations could be identified. So it seems clear that this information was leaked during the prosecution’s investigation into judicial Nongdan.

What is this not a temple? Apart from that, the court forces that carried out judicial farming oppressed the reformist judges of the Korean Association for Legal Research or the International Association for Human Rights Legal Research. However, does it make sense that the prosecution, which investigated the case as illegal, tried to use the same data on the basis of the repression?

In particular, look at the section of the document, “Among the Korean Law Research Association, but the assessment that it is reasonable” (a review by former Justice Minister Cho Kook and chief judge Kim Mi-ri, who is in charge of a case involving an alleged electoral intervention in Ulsan). What the hell does that mean? If you belong to the Korean Law Research Association, does that mean you are irrational in the first place? When it comes to forward-thinking trends, does that mean it’s irrational in the first place?

The distorted prejudice of the prosecution is revealed. In fact, that’s the hardest thing for front-line judges. No matter how fair you decide to conclude the trial, if you label it and frame it like ‘I am from the Korean Law Research Association’, ‘I am inclined to progress’, it will inevitably lead to self-censorship. Wasn’t it revealed this time that the prosecution has tried to use it through various gambling media? Very illegal and unconstitutional. “

-The prosecution is protesting, saying: ‘It happened not only in general, but also in general. Did the judges know that the prosecution had been collecting this information?

“I didn’t know at all. Now the judges around me can’t sleep at night because of this. Just think about it. What if I imagine someone was secretly gathering my opinions like this? The judges are human, but they can’t. be atrophy. “

Also, unlike the prosecution, the court does not have an organization that protects even if someone in the court next door has been attacked. From the point of view of the judge who collected information like ‘Seepyeong’, even if it was a fact, the honor was damaged. And even if this is false, individual judges cannot stand up and fight. “

“National policy investigation? Isn’t it a political celebration … You should impeach the National Assembly for the unconstitutional act Yun Seok-yeol

– Together with the Democratic Party, it is said that it must carry out a national investigation on this matter.

“If you go through a national investigation or special prosecution, you will have no choice but to get caught up in the political struggle of the opposition party. It will only provoke grueling political struggles. Then the public welfare bill will not pass again. It is hard to get through because you didn’t, but what will happen in the future?

Furthermore, an investigation of affairs of state can literally only be a formal “investigation”, but there is practically no other action. Isn’t the judgment finally made in court? I think the conversation about the government investigation is just a political ceremony. Rather, I think it is right for the National Assembly to prosecute Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol. “

-It’s possible?

“The National Assembly can accuse the Attorney General for committing unconstitutional acts by majority vote. That way, it can leave it to the decision of the Constitutional Court later. Is that so difficult? As you can see in this’ Judge’s Prosecution Document ‘, President Yun Yun is really’ If you try to shake the court with this non-objective information and try to damage the fairness of the trial, it is certainly unconstitutional. It is good to obtain the judgment of the Constitutional Court. “

Mechanically, the 174-seat Democratic Party can impeach Yun if it just makes a decision. Can it be done?

“It seems that the National Assembly has not done anything like this yet, so it seems that the environment is very afraid of impeachment. Perhaps it is because the same politicians are often investigated and tried. But this is the same thing that challenges the town”. This is because he is the representative of the people, and it is the same as leaving the attorney general who has been granted an unconstitutional act without properly exercising his authority.

It was for the same reason that (last June) I demanded the impeachment of the judges involved in Judicial Nongdan. It is a requirement. Will you keep saying this because you like me? However, Democratic Party lawmakers were scared when they spoke of impeachment.

In fact, I was very surprised to join the party this time around, so the Democratic Party legislators really don’t know the internal affairs of the court and the prosecution very well. Isn’t it the first time in history that three judges (Lee Su-jin, Lee Tan-hee, and Choi Ki-sang) have entered the Democratic Party at the same time? In the case of the court, most judges can survive until the National Assembly removes some judges who have committed unconstitutional acts, such as Judicial Nongdan. Only then can the judiciary regain their confidence.

Lawmakers seem to think that they will be attacked by all judges the moment they speak of impeachment. However, the real situation of the courts is not like that. I don’t know better. Although a great incident like the Nongdan Judicial has occurred, it should not be left unattended. Is that really what people want? Everybody knows it, but maybe only politicians don’t. “

-President Seok-Yeol Yoon is still struggling with legal battles, such as filing a cancellation lawsuit against the suspension of his job. How do you look forward?

“There is a high possibility that the administrative court will apply the law very strictly. It is a very burdensome matter. In addition, the suspicion of inspecting judges is also related to the judges themselves. The Ministry of Justice may not be easy.” .
