Ko Yong-Tae, an ex-employee of Choi Soon-sil, forecasted to reporters that Lee Man-hee, a ruling party parliamentarian, would ask Park Hon-yong, employee of Choi Soon-sil, certain questions and that Park Hon-yong would answer in a certain way.
Yesterday, the forecast came true. The questions and answers were aimed at discrediting testimony regarding the incriminating tablet PC with all the evidence.
Lee Man-hee said that two people came to him with questions, so he asked the questions. When it was pointed out that Lee also met a close associate of Choi Soon-sil, Lee admitted that he did, but stated that he did not collude to discredit testimony surrounding the tablet PC.
There is growing evidence that Choi Soon-sil was also active in ruling party politics and has influence over many of them.

These people must be desperate. Desperate enough to ask people to perjure. Sounds guilty to me.
Many people have wondered why former President Lee Myung-bak was never really investigated over corruption during his term in office. His administration was the one that lowered corporate taxes, and spent billions on needless water projects where all the construction companies conspired on bidding and stole billions of dollars. As I stated before, President Park pardoned these companies. The ruling party and the rich have done stuff like this ever since Park Chung-hee's time. Talk about tradition.
Why don't Koreans do anything about it? We tried, but too many of us believe what we see on TV and read in the news, which used to be controlled by you know who. Nowadays, it seems there are many factions fighting to publish their side of the news, with the Presidential office ordering the media to spread propaganda and misleading leaks.
On MBN TV News, they stated evidence showing former President Lee had people spied on and investigated by Korean intelligence to dig up dirt. He also had the tax office go after people and organizations.
Many people have previously suggested that ex-President Lee has enough damaging evidence on President Park to prevent any investigation. It is probably evidence of mass embezzlement at the Yookyung Foundation and Youngnam University, along with other dirty deeds.
