◇Anchor> Judge Cha Eun-kyung asked a question directly to President Yoon only once during the warrant hearing on President Yoon in the 5th hour. It is related to a note given to Deputy Prime Minister Choi Sang-mok at the time of martial law. Please show me some graphics. One question the judge asked the president, this is it. Judge Cha Eun-kyung asked President Yoon if he really intended to create an emergency legislative body, while a note delivered by President Yoon to Acting President Choi Sang-mok at a Cabinet meeting just before the Dec. 3 declaration of the emergency martial law was reportedly written with instructions to prepare a budget related to the emergency legislative body. The president's answer was: President Yoon said he couldn't remember whether the note was written by former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun or himself. Why did the judge ask this one question? an emergency legislative body
◆Yoon Hee-seok> The charges now filed against President Yoon are a crime of rebellion. We need a purpose to establish a crime of rebellion. President Yoon should have the purpose of excluding state power or disrupting national constitution, but he wrote a note if he did. So, if you create an emergency legislative session that replaces the function of the National Assembly, or if this happens, you can say that the purpose of excluding state power or disrupting national constitution is recognized. So I think the warrant judge picked up that part and asked President Yoon directly.
◇Anchor> Rep. Park Beom-gye rather used the expression "I was wrong, I was crazy" on the spot. If I had said that I had thought wrong, wouldn't it have ended with happening? I asked back like this.
◆ Seo Yong-ju> So, looking back, it may be meaningless because it's over now, but his judgment was insufficient to some extent when he voluntarily attended the residence for 43 days without colliding with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police, and if he admitted that it was a wrong judgment, the possibility of arrest was very low. Given that he is an incumbent president and has no fear of destroying evidence or fleeing, he would not have been arrested and would not have been arrested by the Constitutional Court and the current law enforcement agency.
However, if you look at it now, it has already been 43 days, and if you look at it now, you are handing over all the mistakes you have done to former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun. I don't know that I copied the decree wrong, but I think Kim Yong-hyun, the former defense minister, wrote it. Isn't the emergency legislative meeting a part of the testimony that Acting President Choi Sang-mok received it directly from the president? So this part is simply about dissolving the National Assembly. I will dissolve the current National Assembly and create an emergency National Assembly with people who suit their taste. So, set the budget, because it is this argument, it is a very serious legal judgment, and this will be dealt with by the Constitutional Court in the case of rebellion, but in criminal law, this was a very important question of constitutional infringement, and since I couldn't answer it myself, I think there was a concern that Kim Yong-hyun and the president could kiss and destroy evidence later on.
