Confirmation Hearing for Alleged Corrupt ROK Justice Member Nominee Scheduled for Friday
It appears that the confirmation process for Cho Kuk was drawn out specifically to pass the deadline for calling witnesses like the opposition party wanted to do. Because of this only Cho Kuk will testify and of course he will deny everything and then get appointed as the next Justice Minister and then subsequently have the power to squash any investigation in to him:
South Korea’s ruling and main opposition parties on Wednesday agreed to hold a confirmation hearing for a disputed justice minister candidate later this week.
The rival parties had been in a row over scheduling the parliamentary hearing of Justice Minister nominee Cho Kuk, who faces corruption allegations involving his family.
The dramatic agreement was reached during a meeting at the National Assembly between Na Kyung-won, floor leader of the main opposition Liberty Korea Party (LKP), and her ruling Democratic Party (DP) counterpart Lee In-young.
“There was a gap in our opinion, but we’ve agreed to hold a confirmation hearing for Cho on Friday judging that it is desirable to fulfill the parliament’s duty,” Na told reporters.
Lee said the two sides have agreed not to request that Cho’s family members attend the hearing.
“The legal deadline for summoning witnesses has passed. We will be proceeding with the confirmation hearing without witnesses,” the DP floor leader said.

South Koreans need to take action if they really want to save their country.
South Koreans should not listen to foreign concern trolls that have goal of undermining democracy in their country.
We have a minder.
Winning with 41% of the vote does not make for a democracy. A judicial coup against a sitting president does not for a democracy either.
A that is a good point about not listening to foreign trolls….guess we will all stop listening to Kravata… 😛
It’s like watching a slow motion accident. You know what’s going to happen and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Then kravata jumps in and encourages the wreck to happen.
I never listened to him in the first place.
I know a $.50 troll when I see one.
Yes yes, call me a troll, lying as usual, lets pretend Flyingsword that they arent in coalition with another party you idiot.
Doc, I watched a senior enlisted friend throw away a 30 year marriage the same way. It was really painful. He still pretends (in public) he did nothing wrong; but he destroyed his life, his witness, and his career. His kids rejected him, his new girlfriend left after he lost his job, and he smells like a tie soaked in pig sweat.
