“I keep thinking about Anne Frank, who was kept alive with her family by a good friend named Miep,” said the Rev. Jane Mauldin, a Unitarian minister who was one of the volunteers who raced to the North Kenner raid on the roofers … “I keep in my head saying, ‘What would Miep do?’”

Congress should have him testify, and would've already if war-crime-sympathetic GOP didn't run it.
