Seriously? TRUMP HAS FRIENDS--Russian ones. Cohen knows shit about RUSSIANS. Trump could turn the lower District of NY FEDS on his family. What do they know about Cohen and Trump?

Um... what was the threat? He said Trump threatened him. 'having friends' is not a threat. Saying 'my friends are going to hurt you' is a threat. What did Trump say?

The House should guarantee, Cohen family safety!

Why doesn't Trump want the truth of his innocence to come out?

EXCERPT

Washington D.C. (Jan. 13, 2019)—Today, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, Rep. Adam Schiff, and Rep. Jerrold Nadler, the Chairmen of the House Committees on Oversight and Reform, Intelligence, and the Judiciary, issued the following statement in response to President Donald Trump’s comments last night on Fox News regarding Michael Cohen’s testimony before Congress:

“The integrity of our process to serve as an independent check on the Executive Branch must be respected by everyone, including the President. Our nation’s laws prohibit efforts to discourage, intimidate, or otherwise pressure a witness not to provide testimony to Congress. The President should make no statement or take any action to obstruct Congress’ independent oversight and investigative efforts, including by seeking to discourage any witness from testifying in response to a duly authorized request from Congress.”

Michael Cohen postpones his congressional testimony after Trump threatens his family


Former Trump “fixer” Michael Cohen announced on Wednesday that he is postponing his planned congressional testimony while citing threats made against his family by President Donald Trump.

In a statement first reported by the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman, Cohen attorney Lanny Davis said that Cohen would postpone his testimony due to “ongoing threats” that Trump made against Cohen’s family “as recently as this weekend.”

Davis said that Cohen would be happy to testify before Congress at a later date but “this is a time when Mr. Cohen had to put his family and their safety first.”

Late last week, Trump issued a threat against Cohen’s father-in-law, whom the president has in the past insinuated could be prosecuted for assorted crimes

Additionally, as Haberman notes, Trump told Fox News host Jeanine Pirro over the weekend that prosecutors and reporters ought to be looking into Cohen’s family.

Cohen had been scheduled to testify about his past work with Trump on February 7th.

Davis can not provide proof

Cohen doesn’t want to answer questions about the recent Buzzfeed story on Mueller. Cohen is going to jail because he lied to Congress. I guess he doesn’t want to risk another charge of lying to Congress.

How do you know Lanny Davis has no proof?

Schiff, Cummings: 'Cohen not appearing before Congress was never an option'


Just in: House Oversight chair Elijah Cummings and House Intel chair Adam Schiff say Michael Cohen not testifying has never been an option. "We expect Mr. Cohen to appear before both Committees, and we remain engaged with his counsel about his upcoming appearances.”

Nut bag? Who the fuck are you talking too? It is a legitimate point. If Trump has nothing to worry about he would not be worrying about Cohen.
