何謂關說?或者說如何處理?
※ 引述《hifree (hifree)》之銘言:

: 其實這個案子剛好可以檢視一下何謂妨礙司法公正的關說
: 在國外立法例下
: 妨礙司法公正的正式定義為「具有妨礙司法公正傾向及意圖的作為、一連串的作為
: 或行為」(an act, a series of acts, or conduct which has the tendency and
: is intended to pervert the course of justice)具體表現在任何一種下列的行為:
: 中止刑事檢控以換取報酬
: 提出虛假的指控
: 向調查人員提供虛假的陳述
: 刻意協助他人逃避追捕
: 恐嚇、脅迫或騷擾證人
: 證人故意不出席聆訊,以換取報酬
: 捏造、藏匿或毀滅證據
: 發布文章,刻意妨礙司法公正
: 不當地中止檢控
: 使原來可能得以提出檢控的法定程序受挫

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Domenici#Department_of_Justice_controversy
(原文有點長,我重點解說)
Prior to the 2006 midterm election Domenici called and pressured
then-United States Attorney for the District of New Mexico David
Iglesias to speed up indictments in a federal corruption
investigation that involved at least one former Democratic state
senator. When Iglesias said an indictment would not be handed down
until at least December, Domenici said "I'm very sorry to hear
that" — and the line went dead. Domenici's telephone manners were
the subject of a later article in The Albuquerque Journal, which
quoted numerous other sources whom Domenici had treated rudely by
hanging up after making a point or receiving an unsatisfactory
answer.
簡單地說,參議員杜曼尼的競爭對手因為貪污被檢察官調查,杜議員就打電
話給檢察官,希望他趕快處理,最好趕在11月選舉前。檢察官不鳥他,回覆
說最快得12月才能偵結
Iglesias was fired a little over one month later by the
Bush Administration. A communication by a senator or House member
with a federal prosecutor regarding an ongoing criminal
investigation is a violation of ethics rules.
重點是,一個月以後
該名檢察官就被布希政府開除了!
In a March 2007
statement, Domenici admitted making such a call.[20] House
Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, D-Mich., issued
subpoenas to require Iglesias and three other ousted U.S.
attorneys to testify before Congress.[21]
Domenici later admitted calling Iglesias, though Domenici claimed
he never used the word "November" when he called Iglesias about an
ongoing Albuquerque courthouse corruption case.[22] Domenici has
denied trying to influence Iglesias, and has hired lawyer K. Lee
Blalack II to represent him.[23]
According to the Justice Department, Domenici called the
Department and demanded Iglesias be replaced on four
occasions.[24]
According to The Washington Post, on the day of the firing
(December 7, 2006) William Kelley, a deputy to then White House
Counsel Harriet Miers, said in an email that Domenici's chief of
staff was "happy as a clam" about the Iglesias firing. A week
later, a Justice Department email to the White House counsel
stated: "
Domenici is going to send over names tomorrow (not even
waiting for Iglesias's body to cool)."
這裡的重點是:有關係就沒關係,沒關係就有關係。你檢察官哪有我參議員
大?一通電話就把你開除了!
On April 24, 2008,
Domenici was admonished by the Senate Ethics
Committee for "inappropriately" contacting in 2006 one of the nine
U.S. attorneys later fired by President Bush.[16]
所謂的國會自律,僅值一紙不痛不癢的警告。
The light punishment came after the committee found “no
substantial evidence” that Domenici tried to influence attorney
David Iglesias when he contacted him to inquire about the status
of a 2006 investigation into corruption charges on a state
Democratic official. A possible indictment could have buoyed the
re-election hopes of Rep. Heather Wilson (R-N.M.), who was seeking
to replace Domenici when the senator retires after his current
term. Iglesias charged that Domenici and Wilson were pressuring
him to wrap up the investigation before that November’s
elections, a violation of ethics rules.[20]
The Ethics Committee said that Domenici’s phone call to Iglesias,
in advance of an upcoming election, “created an appearance of
impropriety that reflected unfavorably on the Senate”.[20] In
July 2010, Department of Justice prosecutors closed the two-year
investigation without filing charges after determining that the
firing was inappropriately political, but not criminal, saying
"Evidence did not demonstrate that any prosecutable criminal
offense was committed with regard to the removal of David
Iglesias. The investigative team also determined that the evidence
did not warrant expanding the scope of the investigation beyond
the removal of Iglesias."[26] Domenici said of the closed
investigation, "The Justice Department has now confirmed what I
have always said and believed: I never attempted to interfere with
any government investigation. I am glad that this matter has
concluded."[26]
後面細節就不多翻了。
總之,這羣人 (foreign or domestic) 對關說司法個案的態度就是如此。從制度面到現實
面,一路走來始終如一。
我的心得是,這羣人一旦掌握了權力,大家真的只好個人顧性命。
