Economy coming possibility of a recession and protests in hong kong. This is 10 minutes. The president was tweeting antifahe would designate as an organization of terror. That allows the president to do that. The president is looking at that and we discussed that there was an increase in domestic terror and the director of the 23 made that clear on july in a sworn summary sworn testimony. He has made clear that theres an increase in the number of includes white supremacy, antifa and probably antisemitism. I think any of our First Amendment rights does not extend to violence or you cannot pick and choose the think is criminally representative and punishment.

I think for the past several years the procedural requirements have diminished greatly, and one significant changeis the statutory to eliminate the requirement for victims that testify. Thatresult, in many cases is the most significant evidence in most cases where a victim chooses not to testify, the government is making its case based on the file. I will say that those changes over time have reduced the procedural requirements of article 32 but i still think it is a valuable check. An experienced judge advocate looking at the case and that the evidence. There is also the opportunity for the defense to present evidence, and as a former staff i have seen even in those diminished proceedings where an article 32 officer will make note or make findings that are relevant for me to consider and a highlight to the convening authority when i am providing
