Ke, uthini umthetho ngoku?Ifoto nguAlex Wong / Getty Izithombe Umcebisi okhethekileyo uRobert Mueller ugqibile ukwenza uphando kwaye ungenise ingxelo yakhe kwiGqwetha Jikelele uWilliam Barr. UMongameli uDonald Trump ubetha isifuba sakhe esithi uxolelwe. ICongress nabanye abantu abaninzi bafuna ukufunda ingxelo epheleleyo. Uthini umthetho ngayo?
Sifike Njani Apha
Imigaqo yeSebe lezoBulungisa (i-DOJ) igunyazisa igqwetha jikelele (okanye, ukuba u-AG uyarhoxiswa kumcimbi, igqwetha jikelele elibambeleyo) ukuba limisele umcebisi okhethekileyo ovela ngaphandle kukarhulumente woburhulumente ukuba enze uphando oluthile okanye utshutshiso olunokuthi lubangele ukungqubana. Inomdla ukuba ilandelwa phantsi kweenkqubo eziqhelekileyo ze-DOJ.
Bhalisela iNcwadana yezepolitiki yaBakhangeli
Ngokukodwa, I-28 CFR § 600.1 ubonelela ukuba ingcebiso ekhethekileyo inokuchongwa xa igqwetha jikelele limisela:
- Olo phando lolwaphulo-mthetho lomntu okanye umba luyafuneka;
- Olo phando okanye ukutshutshiswa kwaloo mntu okanye loo nto yi-Ofisi yegqwetha laseMelika okanye iCandelo lokumangalela iSebe lezoBulungisa liza kubonisa ukungqubana komdla kwiSebe okanye ezinye iimeko ezingaqhelekanga; kwaye
- Ngaphantsi kweemeko, kuya kuba lunomdla kuluntu ukutyumba uMcebisi oKhethekileyo ongaphandle ukuba athathe uxanduva ngalo mbandela.
Umcebisi okhethekileyo unamagunya abanzi, nangona esona siseko siphambili kwingxelo yenyani yomcimbi oza kuphandwa. Umcebisi okhethekileyo ugunyazisiwe ukuba aphendule kuphazamiseko kuphando lwabo, ngokubonelela ngegunya lokuphanda nokutshutshisa ulwaphulo-mthetho olwenziweyo phakathi kwenkqubo, kwaye ngenjongo yokuphazamisa, uphando loMcebisi oKhethekileyo, njengobuxoki, ukuphazamiseka komthetho, ukutshatyalaliswa kobungqina, nokoyikisa amangqina. Igqwetha jikelele linokulwandisa ulawulo njengoko kufuneka ukuze kuphandwe ngokupheleleyo kusonjululwe imicimbi eyabelweyo, okanye kuphandwe imicimbi emitsha evelayo.
Kwimeko yophando luka-Mueller, IGqwetha Jikelele elibambeleyo uRod Rosenstein wonyula uRobert Mueller ukuqinisekisa ngophando olupheleleyo nolucokisekileyo kwiinzame zikarhulumente wase Russia zokungenelela kunyulo luka Mongameli ngo-2016. Ileta yokuqeshwa igunyazise uMueller ukuba aqhube uphando oluqinisekiswe nguMlawuli we-FBI uJames S. Comey ngobungqina phambi kweKomidi eliKhethekileyo leNdlu kwi-Intelligence ngoMatshi 20, 2017, kubandakanya: (i) naluphi na unxibelelwano kunye / okanye ulungelelwaniso phakathi kweRussia urhulumente nabantu abanxulumene nephulo likaMongameli uDonald Trump; (ii) nayo nayiphi na imicimbi ethe yavela okanye enokuvela ngqo kuphando olo; kunye (iii) nayo nayiphi na eminye imicimbi ephantsi kwama-28 C.F.R. § I-600.4 (a).
Ngokuka-Rosenstein, i-odolo yokuqala yayibhalwe ngokwamagama ukuze ivumele ukukhutshwa kwayo ngaphandle kokuqinisekisa ngophando oluthile olubandakanya abantu abathile. Nangona kunjalo, imemorandam elandelayo inike inkcazo ethe kratya yezityholo ezigunyazisiweyo phantsi kophando lwabacebisi abakhethekileyo. Ngokwe-DOJ, ukuvumela iiparameter zolawulo ukuba ziphuhle ngexesha lophando bekufuneka kuphando olusebenzayo [ekufuneka] lube nenkululeko ethile yokudlulela ngaphaya kwezibakala ezaziwayo ngexesha [lokuqeshwa].
Iingcebiso ezikhethekileyo zahlukile kuba abaphantsi kolawulo lwemihla ngemihla yi-DOJ. Bakhululekile ukuba bangalwenza uphando ngendlela afuna ngayo kwaye basebenzise ingqiqo yomtshutshisi ozimeleyo ukuze bathathe isigqibo sokuba ingaba izityholo maziziswe na. Iingcebiso ezizodwa zikwanikwe amagunya akhe, igunya elipheleleyo kunye negunya elizimeleyo lokusebenzisa yonke imisebenzi yophando kunye neyotshutshiso yalo naliphi na igqwetha laseMelika.
Ngelixa umcebisi okhethekileyo enandipha inkululeko, kufuneka anxibelelane negqwetha jikelele phantsi kweemeko ezithile. Umzekelo, iingxelo ziyafuneka xa kuqalwa uphando kumanani oluntu okanye amaziko. Iingxelo zikwagunyazisiwe ngaphambi kokunxibelelana nenani loluntu kunye nodliwanondlebe, ukubonakala kwejaji enkulu okanye ukubonakala kwetyala. Amanani oluntu abandakanya aMalungu eCongress, iijaji, amagosa aphezulu kunye nalo naliphi na elinye ilizwe elaziwayo.

Kwenzeka Ntoni Ngokulandelayo?
Imigaqo ye-DOJ ikwalatha kwinto eyenzekayo xa kugqitywa uphando lophando olukhethekileyo, kulapho sikhoyo ngoku. Ukungancami ku I-28 CFR § 600.8 Ekuqukunjelweni komsebenzi weGqwetha eliKhethekileyo, uyakunika igqwetha Jikelele ingxelo eyimfihlo echaza ukutshutshiswa okanye ukwaliwa kwezigqibo ekufikelelwe kuzo nguMcebisi oKhethekileyo. Ingxelo yegqwetha kufuneka iphathwe njengoxwebhu oluyimfihlo njengamaxwebhu angaphakathi ngokunxulumene nalo naluphi na uphando lolwaphulo-mthetho.
Igqwetha jikelele nalo linoxanduva lokwabelana ngeziphumo zegqwetha elikhethekileyo kunye neCongress, nangona kungekho xanduva lokuchaza ingxelo epheleleyo. Ngaphantsi I-28 CFR § 600.9 (a) (3) , igqwetha jikelele kufuneka libonelele koosihlalo kunye nenqanaba lamalungu amancinci eNdlu nakwiiKomiti zeeNkundla zeSenethi, ukuya kuthi ga ngokuhambelana nomthetho osebenzayo, inkcazo kunye nengcaciso yemeko (ukuba ikho) apho igqwetha Jikelele lagqiba ukuba inyathelo elicetywayo UMcebisi oKhethekileyo wayengafanelekanga okanye engenagunya phantsi kwemisebenzi esekwe liSebe kangangokuba akufuneki ukuba ilandelwe. Ngokuka-Barr, bekungekho meko zinjalo ngexesha lophando loMcebisi oKhethekileyo.
Imigaqo ithe cwaka malunga nokuba iiKomiti zezoBulungisa zingazikhupha na iingxelo abazinikwe ligqwetha jikelele. Ngokumalunga nengxelo epheleleyo yegqwetha, isigqibo sisezandleni zegqwetha jikelele. Ngaphantsi kwama-28 CFR § 600.9 (c), i-Attorney General inokumisela ukuba ukukhutshwa koluntu kwezi ngxelo kuya kuba ngumdla woluntu, ukuya kuthi ga apho ukukhutshwa kuya kuhambelana khona nezithintelo ezisemthethweni.
Akumangalisi ukuba ukukhutshwa esidlangalaleni kwengxelo kaMueller kungumbandela oshushu. Kwileta yakhe eya kwiCongress, athe wayibhengeza esidlangalaleni , Ugqwetha-Jikelele u-Barr uthe uzibophelele kulwenze obala kangangoko, kwaye uzosebenza ukumisela ukuba loluphi olunye ulwazi oluvela kwingxelo olunokukhutshelwa kwi-Congress kunye noluntu oluhambelana nomthetho.
Abenzi bomthetho kumacala omabini endlela bafune ukubhengezwa ngokupheleleyo. Ukongeza, uTrump uthe akazukukhathazeka ukuba ingxelo yenziwe esidlangalaleni. Nangona kunjalo, njengoko kuchaziwe apha ngasentla, ayisosigqibo sakhe sokwenza.
