Just in: Fed judge struck down #Georgia’s congressional & legislative maps, ruling they violate Section 2 of #VotingRightsAct. Ga lawmakers have til Dec. 8 to draw new lines, setting up special legislative session.

His testimony is coerced.
He had no choice.
If the DOJ gives him use immunity he has to testify truthfully because what he says cannot be used against him, so he cannot stand on the fifth.

This means he hasn't made any deals.

Auschwitz is a place that shows where hatred, antisemitism and contempt for a fellow man led people decades ago.
It is also a place where we should reflect on our individual and collective responsibility for the world we live in.
Gen.
