Jeong Jeong-sik, “The top priority for the Attorney General is the ability to assist in jailbreak.”

It's a lie to say that Lee Yong-cheol and Kim Hyeon-ji are not close... The name itself is a work of gold.

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Yeon-jung and Cho Daun = On the 12th, People Power Party floor leader Jeong Sik-sik said of Justice Minister candidate Lee Yong-cheol, "He is only a special minister for indictment cancellation, and he is faithfully following that role."

At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly, floor leader Jeong criticized, saying, "This candidate talked about the right to fair prosecution, left open the possibility of indictment cancellation, and began to dig an escape route for the president to escape from prison."

He said, "Even though his true intentions are clearly visible, this candidate is pretending to be an impartial person by saying that he was neither a lawyer in the president's case nor a member of the indictment cancellation group," and added, "Just as a Tazza sticks a Hwatu card to his palm, the candidate sticks a notepad to his palm and deceives the public with 'verbal undertones.'"

In particular, he said, "Candidate Lee said he did not have a special relationship with Kim Hyun-ji, head of the Blue House Office, but that is a lie. The candidate served on the Seongnam Mayoral Transition Committee with Director Kim and even served as CEO of the Seongnam Industrial Promotion Foundation. It has been revealed that Saegil Law Firm, where the candidate was the representative lawyer, was in charge of defending Director Kim's violation of the Information and Communications Network Act in the past."

He then claimed, “The friendship is natural, and the nomination itself is Director Kim’s work.”

He pointed out, "From President Lee's point of view, former Minister Jeong Sung-ho, his closest associate, failed to cancel the indictment, which was his long-cherished wish, and Rep. Kim Seung-won, who was the leader of the indictment cancellation group, also failed. In the end, with the feeling that the only people he could trust were the 'Seongnam Line', he entrusted the task to candidate Lee to bring the key to prison escape."

He continued, “The People Power Party will do its best to verify this candidate, and if this candidate does not say, ‘There will never be a cancellation of the indictment,’ we have no choice but to conclude that he is unconditionally unfit to be a minister.”
