There's an interesting article by Snowden Todd that the reason for the South Korean coup attempt was due to structural issues with the SK judicial system: https://snowdentodd.substack.com/p/yoon-had-little-to-lose
- In 2021, President Moon passed some prosecutorial reform (https://archive.is/rhlzE), but it seems not to have gone far enough, and some aspects were rolled back by Yoon.
- If I follow Snowden's argument correctly, this was in an attempt to weaponize the system against Lee Jae-myung and Moon, but given his unpopularity, he realized that once he was out of office he himself would become the next target.
- It seems likely that he will be out of office soon and there will be a new presidential election shortly afterwards.
- Resolves YES if one or more of the following become law by 2028:
- Explicit priority to the CIO for corruption cases involving high-ranking officials, requiring prosecutors to transfer such cases over in cases of conflict.
