[사설] Myung Tae-gyun, who calls the naming interference conversation ‘gossip’, is leading the prosecutor’s investigation?

Myung Tae-gyun, a key figure in the suspicion of President Yoon Seok-yeol and his wife involved in the National Assembly election nomination, appeared at the Changwon District Prosecutors Office on the 9th and was investigated for two days in a row. Immediately after the investigation was completed, Myeong’s lawyer said, “The investigation was completed today.” It appears that Mr. Myeong, not the prosecutor, will decide whether to investigate further. Mr. Myeong was questioned for only 6 hours on the 8th due to body pain and leg discomfort. Before appearing at the prosecution, Mr. Myung said, “Isn’t this a case of political fund law? “If that’s true, I should be investigated for violating the political financing law. ” Myung’s comments, which seem to depend on the prosecution’s investigation, are surprising.

However, the accusation is like a mute who could not even answer a word. This is very different from responding strongly to comments from opposition party figures, such as Lee Jae-myeong, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, regarding the investigation of the accusation. Even after being investigated, Myeong said, “Isn’t it true that any citizen can make suggestions and express opinions? “I also recommended the Changwon National Business Center to Changwon City,” he said, showing his belief that there would be no problem with the suspicions surrounding him.

Just a month ago, Mr. Myung made big noises to the media, saying that if he opened his mouth, President Yoon would be fired. It was Mr Myeong who also revealed the KakaoTalk message from First Lady Kim Kun-hee ‘My immature brother’. But now, Mr. Myung has dismissed the conversation with President Yoon and his wife as ‘gossip.’ Gossip refers to articles that deal with a person’s private life or rumors based on interest. Are the cases related to interference in the nomination, manipulation of public opinion, interference in the election of Changwon National Industrial Center, the decision to move the Office of the President, and President Yoon canceled the trip to honor Queen Elizabeth of England really tuning in? It may be gossip to President Yoon and his wife and the Myung family, but to the general public, it is the handling of state affairs.

Last December, the Gyeongnam Provincial Election Commission reported Kang Hye-kyung, former accounting manager of Kim Young-sun’s People’s Power Party, to the Changwon District Prosecutor’s Office on charges of violating the Official Election Act Public and the Political Fund Act, and requested an investigation of five people, including former lawmaker Kim and Mr. Myeong. However, nine months later the Changwon District Prosecutors Office investigated and arrested Mr. Myeong. The prosecutor is said to have obtained around 4,000 files, including phone records between Mr Myeong and former lawmaker Kim, last May, but did not even what was there.

Recently, the Office of the Attorney General announced that four additional prosecutors would be sent in, with a total of 11 prosecutors investigating suspicions related to Mr. Myeong. However, the prosecution has already lost confidence in the prosecution, which decided not to prosecute Mrs. Kim Kun-hee on charges of obtaining luxury bags and being involved in Deutsche Motors stock price manipulation. Looking at the words and actions of Myung, who claims that the conversation with the president and his wife is a joke and that only alleged violations of the political assets law should be investigated, he cannot no one can shake the suspicion that this study is also a process of ‘distribution’. peace.’ There is no other way than the ‘Special Prosecutor Kim Geon-hee’ to find the truth of what happened and prove its illegality.
