President Moon Asks Human Rights Commission to Investigate Prosecutors Investigating Former Justice Minister
I guess to President Moon reform means that prosecutors should not look into corrupt activities surrounding the Blue House:
President Moon Jae-in pressed Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl to take more control of reform Tuesday, issuing a public warning that the right to appoint prosecutors belongs to the president and minister of justice.
“Prosecution reform is only possible when the prosecutors themselves act as main agents,” Moon said in a New Year’s press conference. “And the prosecutor general must spearhead the reform in order to bring about changes in not only the customary way of conducting investigations, but also the organizational culture.”
Moon’s remarks followed a series of unprecedented measures taken by the Blue House, Ministry of Justice and the ruling party on the previous day to chip away at the power of state prosecutors.
On Monday, the Blue House asked the National Human Rights Commission of Korea to consider a petition that the prosecution should be investigated for alleged rights abuses when it probed corruption allegations surrounding former Justice Minister Cho Kuk and his family.

You can read more at the link, but it is amazing how no one in the media is challenging Moon on suppressing investigations into corruption inside his administration.
Commie moon’s criminality knows no bounds!
GI, hasn’t Moon already gone after rogue antigovernment publishers?
@setnaffa, the Moon administration has put conservative journalists in jail using the libel laws even when what they published was true.
GI, I guess I should have either used quotes around “rogue” or ended my comment with a “/s”…
Insert sad smile here.
It remains to be seen whether South Korea will first become a minor caliphate or a puppet-state of Pyongyang.
