Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former consigliere, will not testify before the House Oversight Committee on Feb. 7 as scheduled. Cohen’s attorney, Lanny Davis, claims he postponed Cohen’s appearance “indefinitely”, citing threats from President Trump and Trump’s current consigliere Rudy Giuliani.
Davis said in a statement released 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, Mr. Cohen’s appearance will be postponed to a later date.”
Giuliani is the former mayor of New York City.

The Senate Intelligence Committee didn’t take too kindly to Cohen weaseling out of his planned appearance. The Committee subpoenaed Cohen to testify anyway in mid-February before he turns himself in to begin serving a 3 year prison sentence for multiple tax and campaign finance violations.
Cohen appeared before the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2017. He later plead guilty to lying about Trump’s discussions with the Russians to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.
Trump and Giuliani have branded Cohen a pathological liar, saying he is a convicted felon who is “completely untrustworthy.”
“If one thing has been established, it’s that Michael Cohen is completely untrustworthy,” Giuliani told the Wall Street Journal.
Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr, a Republican from Maryland, is “confident” he can compel Cohen to appear before his committee behind closed doors before he reports to prison.
Cohen’s scheduled appearance before the Senate Intelligence Committee in February would have been open to the public.
Cohen is scheduled to report to prison in March.

Michael Cohen is a hero!
Sounds like obstruction of justice/witness tampering to me.
I love when Giuliani speaks. He just makes stuff worse. Lmao.

ugh…I canna with anymore political shyt today…..see yall upstairs when a new post arrives…
Word to the world of orange dumb ass people in his orb of stupid zombies. I think Cohen is setting this MoFo up on purpose for intimidating a witness and obstruction of justice because he knew what he was doing and saying when he first flipped and that it might possibly be a danger to his family. So just because the threats may have turnt up doesn’t mean you turn and run. That’s why I think Cohen is being smarter than the average orange man from out of space and setting that fool up.
That’s exactly what it is
He looks like a man on the verge…
LOL. Agreed. He makes it so much worse.
I agree.
Neither one can keep the lies str8

The thing about the polls—that shit happens all the time. Let’s be honest here—do you all participate in them? Half the time you hear about results after the fact.
that’s what i’m on. i mean, two alzheimer’s-ass mofos who do nothing but talk mega sh*t.
So much for a Democracy….
this morning on cnn, they were saying there was no “threat” associated with it, meaning you gotta basically say, “i’mma do this to you” or imply that something is going to happen to the person.
Maybe it’s because he knows how they operate and what they can do.
They are both Gemini’s, lying bastids!!
Well you lnow them yt folks aren’t built to withstand stress for too long. Something to do with their recessive DNA.
lol
That’s why they need to get his behind in that seat asap to answer them questions before he goes through with it.
I never knew Rudy Giuliani was thus big of a fool. I don’t know whose nuttier, him or trump.
Ikr, I’m like is trying to help trump or hurt him lol.
Trump has crap on him just like his has crap on Trump! I’d believe Cohen over Trump any day of the week. The whole WORLD ? know Trump is a liar!! This is what happens when you make a deal with the devil….Cohen is done! He has nothing more to lose….
Im convinced they both have Alzheimers. Specifically sun downers syndrome
I had to look up consigliere…advisor, especially to a crime boss.
I see what you did Sandra. Lol
But you were the big bad wolf with all that mouth back in 2016. Put your big boy draws on and man up!
That’s what thugs do, they threaten their way out of trouble. Look at El Chapo now, no until recently did the witness stop disappearing!
Why is it ok for the Thug in Chief to make treats against witnesses??
Because their threats may be followed thru and no justice will be served
Of going SPLAT on the concrete
Senate Intelligence Committee Subpoenas Trump Attorney Michael Cohen
It’s not, and Mueller will inform him of that fact.
Ion know… He’s getting away with a lot of illegal ish
Treasonous Don who seems to be made of cheap Teflon is keeping the government closed down for this reason as well.
This is why the government is shut down, to delay his just due process.
Welp Michael, you lay down with dogs you get up with fleas sir ?
Exactly! I called Alzheimer’s the first time Rudy opened his mouth. Trump is headed that way too.
Trump’s evil @ss threw that man’s FIL’s name out there talking about investigate him. Cohen might take himself out to “save” his family.
Yep. The gig is up for Cohen. After all this he’ll be lucky to find work as a Sign Spinner.
I hope he invested well.
I keep thinking one day we’ll see him in a straight jacket.
Legalized crookery. Most are scum.
He sounds l00ney. You get dizzy trying to listen to him.
He just digs trump into a deep hole every time. It’s like he’s senile or something.
Not fair.
I think Michael Cohen is hero to the American people. He is without question setting up Trump and dry snitching on Trump for witness intimidation. I want Michael Cohen to live a long time. Because in 25 years after Trump has passed, that’s when Cohen will REALLY tell all.
Jerry Springer.
I’ve been saying that from the beginning of this mess
