At a New Year's press conference, Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung poured out his determination about the prosecution's recent investigation into himself.
Representative Lee said during the Q&A process of the New Year's press conference held today (12th) at Sarangjae of the National Assembly that the prosecution's investigation is being carried out unfairly, saying that it should be called "prosecution risk" rather than "judicial risk."
In response to a reporter's question, "I'm curious about how he felt about being investigated for 12 hours as a representative of the opposition party for the first time in constitutional history," he said, "As a citizen, I confidently responded to the prosecution's request for a summons, even though it was a very unfair action. I did nothing wrong, so I was investigated. However, these demands of the prosecution of the prosecution are very unfair and not right."
Representative Lee also said that it was "unfair judgment to link the two cases" to the party's objection to the investigation against him and the mention of the special prosecutor Kim Gun-hee. It was forced, and clear evidence is being revealed about Mrs. Kim.”
When asked about the response when the prosecution requests an arrest warrant, he said, "If you exercise your authority legitimately and lawfully, you should of course accept it, but if the police wear a police uniform and commit robbery, the judgment may be different." “As [#39] became power, we abused the right to investigate and prosecute without considering balance or rationality at all, and we were doing politics instead of investigation,” he replied.

Representative Lee said, "The judiciary's judgment is made with the data presented by the prosecution." It is.
Despite the so-called prosecution reform legislation, such as complete inspection led by the Democratic Party, it is recognized that abuse of prosecution power is taking place. When asked if they would pursue judicial reform again, they said, "No matter how well the system is equipped, it can collapse depending on the will of the person in charge of operation." I answered.
In particular, regarding the plan to 'disclose the prosecutor's identity' promoted by some parts of the party, "I heard rumors that there is criticism of 'Jori Dolim'," he said. It is to admit that it is a fraudulent act," implying the need for personal information to be disclosed.
