Korean Prosecutors vs. President Park

On SBS TV News, they reported that the notebook belonging to ex-Presidential Secretary Ahn Jong-bom (arrested), which was taken from the Blue House under a search warrant, was full of notes recording what President Park ordered him to do, including firing people and raising funds.

The prosecutors never released or leaked the contents of the notebook, until now.

Why? President Park said that she would accept questioning in the Choi Soon-sil case, but her lawyer is refusing to let her be questioned. The prosecutors need to question her by today in order to indict Choi Soon-sil by Saturday, the deadline for detention without formal charges. The lead prosecutor said that if President Park accepts questioning by Friday, it would be alright., The prosecutors are leaking information to pressure President Park. They are saying we have enough evidence, if you do not want to defend yourself, okay. We will leak more information.

In another leak, another Presidential Secretary, also under arrest, recorded his phone calls with President Park and Choi Soon-sil. In one recording, President Park asks him if he got Teacher Choi's approval. He was using a burner phone.
