• observing that it is error of law for IJ to deny relief based on assumption that refugee can escape persecution through bribery
• noting that an adverse credibility deter- mination cannot be reversed simply because this court would conclude that a positive credibility finding was supported by substantial evidence
• remanding when three out of the four inconsistencies the IJ found were not material
• “[I]t seems unlikely that the immigration judge would make the same credibility determination based on one inconsistency rather than the four he originally noted.”
• “An immigration judge, unlike an Article III judge, is not merely the fact-finder and adjudicator but also has an obligation to establish the record.”
• “[I]t seems unlikely that the immigration judge would make the same credibility determination based on one No. 05-3951 11 inconsistency rather than the four he originally noted.”
