you want to stand a little closer you can pick up the money and i can pick up your voice ok thank you of the government official who is corrupt or does it depend on showing that more than just one or two or three lower level government officials are starting  thank you again sir all brady representing responde issue is that the types of crimes of which mr do not complains by two or three local officials and the violence related to those crimes is not what is meant within the case law or the statute is persecution on the grounds of political opinion the extortion money and we just break that down because the country report does talk about these gangs in concert frequently with government activity but we have identified no pattern of mistreatment at the hands of criminal groups based on these affiliations so there's no doubt that the country reports it forwards and apparently well there's no doubt that the country reports of sorts the notion that the government officials are involved in the corruption and is is a general country matter and it seems to be no doubt that there  government officials the low level or whatever and the cop on the beat in los angeles is very low level but you know they're the ones that have inflict the harm if there's a claim of excessive force so i'm not sure the level of the political involvement is relevant other than to maybe going up the chain and showing the clip try kleptocracy but i'm not talking about going up the chain and talking about the political involvement of the persecutor so we have designed a stand in this viewpoints or that there is any who live just or ethnic and what they're focused on is coming under the political problem as i understand it because what he was doing was fighting back against the government by going up the chain of command to as she says what in our country would be of equal to the u s senator now why wouldn't that if if the picking what that argument is on its face why wouldn't that be sufficient to create a political aspect to what he's doing he's fighting back he's blowing the with so long the government attempting to go up the chain to you know our country getting to the senator would be a fairly big deal and several reasons your honor well by definition corruption involves a government official whether he high level or whole low level nonetheless for asylum he has to demonstrate that the corruption went to the heart of government operations the case law makes distinctions and it explicitly says that the corruption has to be x think in one instance of this inextricably intertwined with government operation s it must be widespread corruption and i think the cases are walking a line trying to distinguish between corruption in an instance just criminality by individuals who happen to be government officials and that which is so pervasive in a society such as in haiti and to see here that we're going to find that a person is actually the persecuted by the government through means of corruption so i think there is that distinction in the case law and understanding that asylum is to protect against extreme circumstances i don't think that distinction is unreasonable or hard to understand i think that goes to what i was trying to set aside there at least as i in my mind the words yes except in that order if there is just the average joe civilians who is the ripped off and does nothing more to pay the bribes to the government officials but in this case there was more now i'm shifting to the bride he's also complaining blowing the whistle publicly because he said he thumps plain that the two individuals and name them in history letters up the chain were asking for money from him that he could not pay he was not saying that persecution or whistle blowing it is then that it was a pervasive system of government and the individual was blowing the whistle was complaining about that pervasive system but here the individuals who were asking for the money were certainly lower level than the police but what were government officials they absolutely were but the question is why were they shaking mr for doing the act out and why then did they send goons to beat him up it was because they wanted money to authority but but they were or they were a national using governmental authority to have a good start to money out of this and that they were but the question has to be though also whether they imputed a political and our next case up and then we will be having a ten minute break
