The Donald is witness tampering. Any other citizen would be charged. Just wait Donald, karma is a bitch.

He gets no sympathy from me

This is soooo ridiculous. You want to believe Trump is guilty so bad that you create a alternate universe. Have fun!

Trump got his way,,,,His secrets are safe as long as Mr. Cohen stays quiet...Trump's bulling worked..

'threats ... from President Trump' Wait what?

He is always truthful too...

He's from a mafia family! Noodle that for a minute... 🤓

This guy is head case!!

How is this allowed & not addressed immediately? 😠 WitnessIntimidation obstructionofjustice TrumpResign 25thAmendmentNow

Well then, it looks like Trump is winning.

I bet you are sorry you met number 45 Michael

Lol hahaha lol haha yeah right! Dam clowns 🤡🤥how about start telling the truth 🤨

I don’t get it, he’s bowing down to the threat? He’s caving into the threat? Are you telling me the threats worked?

How is this not witness tampering? Exactly what you'd expect from thug-POTUS.

Maybe he can deliver it from an alternate location

Subpoena

How is that even possible. My gawd

It’s the mob. How many times must it be said?

Says the convicted felon heading to prison for...wait for it...LYING Don’t you fools ever learn especially after that embarrassing BuzzFeed debacle 😂

OMG! Why so afraid? He can’t do shit to you, we need to hear from you, now the bully has won, Impeach!

So video tape it under wraps... then put on all the news stations and let’s get to the bottom of this terrible, bad behavior. We can’t allow this awful man to hold both the government and the truth hostage.

What did he expect? He’s worked for the criminal for years. He knows Trump’s tactics and lunacy. Of course Russia won’t allow his testimony. It destroys their chances of Trump EVER paying the billions he owes them.

so cohen just accused trump of obstruction of justice

MAGA Terrorist threats...

This guy never intended to appear. Some people will fall for anything. A bunch of gullible dupes. LOL.

Traitor

''Ongoing threats against his family' from President Trump.' How did we get to the President of the USA threatening someone so badly they are afraid to appear before a Congressional committee? Impeachorresign

That's Witness Tampering, intimidating a witness is criminal. TrumpWitnessTampering oh he's John GOTTI now. Guliani knows how to Prosecute Mobsters, but can he defend one? Afraid Not🇺🇸 StayFree

WITNESS TAMPERING !!!!!!!!

Ok, so why not closed door in NYC and videotape. Should be open to public, but safety first for family. Don't we also need proof of threats? Submit to Congress and FBI. Several legal issues should be in Q.

Cohen, PRESS CHARGES PLEASE

I want to see or hear these threats, show me proof !!

Be a man do what needs to be done...forget the guy in Whitehouse he's going down eventually..do the right thing for the people for the world

An excuse not to go 🙄

You can add witness intimidation to obstruction change if Mueller files. Is trump using the incriminate yourself more method as a defense against obstruction? 😂

Lol. The party that is triggered by smirks.

That’s what he thinks

Mental case.

Cohen looks so sad and dejected in this photo, just a human who made fucked up decisions in life

What a load of crap.

How can you trust someone that is a Liar? His testimony will be nothing more than a show.

What a joke this guy is. No one lies better than a lawyer.

*regains upper hand*

MichaelCohen212 ... some cooperation. With. Trump and co making fun of him. He should get ALL 3 years now. HouseIntel RepAdamSchiff HouseOversight LannyDavis NYMag nypost

Unless Cohen has recorded proof of these threats, the GOP will use his refusal to testify as evidence that he was lying all along.

senatemajldr GOP Please confirm you would've been equally silent if this were BarackObama

More excuses from Cohen. He is trying everything to get out of testifing. He knows he will be ripped apart.

President Trump hasn't made any threat! WhiteHouse realDonaldTrump GOP FAKE NEWS!

VivBWoke God Damnit, I already put in for the day off.

Cohen is not only unctuous, he’s insane. 🙄😏 DonaldJTrumpJr

Check Trump's phone.

Sounds totally legal

What type of threats from 'bully-boy-trump'?

What

OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE!

Oh sure, like trump would not know his every move is being watched!!!!

The 🍊 forgets there is something called...

I’ll take witness tampering for $500

Odd how there is absolutely no mention of any specific threat. No quote, no 'sources'. Nothing. I'm calling BS.

That was nothing but a ploy. He had zero intentions of doing so.

Da paradgm...jail 🏠 SNITCH!!!

So, why aren't realDonaldTrump and RudyGiuliani intimidation tactics considered a crime? Honestly, I'm sick to death of Trump being able to do anything he damn well wants without someone coming in and slapping the cuffs on that POS.

I wonder if Michael Cohen would be so forthcoming to help with the Mueller investigation if he wouldn’t of got indicted. He’s not a victim in all this he just so happen to get caught then start singing. 🎤 Collusion

So much for taking a bullet for Trump.

Can’t imagine the russian threats coming his way.. he should have known better

If he can prove it, Trump is in a lot of trouble.

Bs

Wow! This is truly crazy times when a US President threatens a witness, Sigh! ImpeachTheMF

Will ther be legal charges for witness intimidation?

Give us a break, Cohen. Both Trump & Giuliani are all hot air and no action! You feel threatened? Then testify truthfully at the House Committee hearings.

Isn’t it nice to have a mob boss as potus?

Cohen? 😂😅🤣 If Cohen had been set to testify against BillClinton or HillaryClinton, then he'd be 6 feet under by now!!! SethRich ClintonBodyCount DemExit

i wonder if he knows something

I would too.
