Lim Jong-seok, former Chief of Staff to the President who is preparing to run for Seoul Middle School and Seongdong-gap, said to former Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae, who had requested that she not run while holding the Yoon Seok-yeol government responsible for taking power, “It is an ugly family fight even if we have it between us, so I hope it will stop.”
On the Channel A radio show ‘Political Signal’ on the 29th, former Director Lim said of former Minister Chu, who requested that he not run, “I am very restrained, but I feel I must tell you something. “It seems like he keeps going too far,” he said.
Former Director Lim said, “In the end, we said, ‘Why did you select someone like Prosecutor Yoon Seok-yeol? That is the original sin. “Take responsibility,” he said. “The person who betrayed is at fault. We all got the wrong person. “At that time,” he said. At the same time, “At the time of the 2017 primary, when asked what the first pledge was, Representative Lee Jae-myung also talked regarding a society with strong and weak people and said, ‘I will appoint a person like Prosecutor Seok-yeol Yoon as Prosecutor General to eradicate corruption.’ Looking back, we were “I had expectations from a person named Prosecutor Yoon Seok-yeol,” he said.
Former Director Lim continued, “After completing my role, I retired in January 2019. President Yoon was appointed in July (of that year), and the Democratic Party won an unprecedented landslide victory in the April 2020 general election,” he said. “There was an incident in which President Yoon completely emerged as a presidential candidate. “This happened during the disciplinary action once morest Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae in November 2020,” he said.
He continued, “(The Ministry of Justice imposed unreasonable discipline on President Yoon), and President Yoon filed a lawsuit to cancel the disciplinary action, and the court ruled in favor of Seok-yeol Yoon, and he emerged as a presidential candidate for the People Power Party.” He added, “That’s why I edit my memories too much. “I wish you would stop,” he said.
In December 2020, when Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae was in office, the Prosecutors’ Disciplinary Committee of the Ministry of Justice decided to suspend President Yoon, who was the Prosecutor General, for two months. The grounds for disciplinary action were writing a document analyzing the tendencies of judges in charge of major cases, interfering with the inspection and investigation of the Channel A case, and violating the obligation of political neutrality. President Yoon objected to this and filed an administrative lawsuit, but in October 2021, the first trial partially ruled once morest the case, saying, “Among the reasons for disciplinary action, the writing of the judge’s document and the obstruction of Channel A’s inspection and investigation are justified.”
However, the appellate court overturned the original decision in December of last year, saying, “The disciplinary process was not conducted legally,” and ruled in favor of President Yoon. In response, the Ministry of Justice gave up its appeal.
Previously, former Minister Chu wrote on Facebook on the 28th, “I hope that President Moon Jae-in will not recommend the two chief secretaries who were wrongly appointed, but rather recommend lawyer Kwak Sang-eon, the son-in-law of former President Roh Moo-hyun.” This is because when Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol was appointed, Attorney Kwak, the son-in-law of the late former President Roh Moo-hyun, opposed the appointment.
Former Minister Chu also said on the 24th, “It is said that the two chief secretaries of the Moon Jae-in administration, who must take responsibility and commit a major crime, are running in the general election.” He once said, “We must show responsibility and political conscience for the disastrous results we failed to achieve.”
