President Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen will postpone testifying before a House panel next month because his family is being threatened by the president and his new attorney Rudy Giuliani, his lawyer said Wednesday.

“Due to ongoing threats against his family from President Trump and Mr. Giuliani, as recently as this weekend, as well as Mr. Cohen’s continued cooperation with ongoing investigations, by advice of counsel” Cohen will postpone his appearance, Lanny Davis said in a statement.

“This is a time where Mr. Cohen had to put his family and their safety first,” Davis added.

"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."

True, there isn't a lot Cohen can talk about without lying these days.

Cohen has gone loco.

Sure, Trump is calling him on the telephone and threatening him.

He also put a burning bag of dog poop on his back porch.

He is totally crazy.
In any court or legal system, this is intimidation and only the Clinton’s and the DNC can ever get away with it.
All others go to prison.

Someone threatened to pants him on Titter?:

The real threat is coming from Mueller. He doesn’t want a leak investigation.

The little weasel is laying it on thick, isn’t he...

[Alberta's Child]

Cohen graduated from a law school that consistently ranks among the worst in the country, and recently has been in jeopardy of losing its accreditation. In other words ... he sure wasn’t hired for his legal skills.

The same reason you take your smelly slow friend into grizzly country with you.

Cohen had a black eye the other day.

Even if Trump was behind this, I don’t care because we are well past the time of playing nice. This is nothing compared to Arkancide.

Perhaps Lanny & Cohen have discovered the same thing Robert Mueller is now having to contend with. There is a new Sheriff in town named William Barr (Attorney General), who will clean house if necessary, and will not be fearful of prosecuting scumbags.

LOL ..... that sure beats speaking in an appeasing voice to the bear, and very slowly backing away.

I think Constitution Day could write monologues for comedians. That was a prize winning line.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Yes, dangerous to talk to Congress when you have Muller breathing down your neck seeking to add another ‘lying to Congress charge.

and then Trump can invoke ‘attorney client privilege’

Poor lad is between a rock and a hard place.

The media and Facebook liberal fanatics will run with this story.

The Lying Dog was about to spew lies, and he knew these lies would be 180 degrees from his Mueller testimony.
