Let it out, buddy. Let it allllll out.

Democrats should subpoena him so he has to testify.

Oh he's got info, but it's not Trump who is in trouble.

BretBaier He doesnt want to get caught lying again.

BretBaier BS. He can't get his lie public.

Witness intimidation, tampering, threatening is a FEDERAL crime. So is Obstruction of Justice. So many potential Articles of Impeachment. Not enough time to wait until everything is perfect. Be fair. Be factual. Be prudent. He has to go. Not in 2020. NOW.

BretBaier he’s chicken

BretBaier Cohen- the ultimate nyc sleaze ball he is.

Still trying to get his sentence reduced I see.

JonLemire I miss your curls very much!!

BretBaier Rat

Few hours ago. He was saying that the delay was because someone was threatening his family. Now a totally different story

Is this RAT🐀🧀 MichaelCohen212 figuratively and literally, for real? Threats from realDonaldTrump and RudyGiuliani ? This RAT and felon needs to crawl back into the sewers with his other RAT friends DNC What a joke! RedNationRising YoungDems4Trump LGBTrump45 greggutfeld

Traitor cohen

As humorous as Nathan Phillips serving in Vietnam and Buzz Fred's imaginary memos

Why don't the Dems hold the hearing at the prison. They can also highlight prison reform while their witness serves his 3 yr sentence.

When will you be reporting the witness tampering/intimidation charges have been filed? Soon, I hope.

BretBaier He's postponing because he doesn't want to perjure himself further by affirming the buzzfeed article.

Ploy and they blinked.

Nonsense abounds

Of course it’s on the advise of lawyers. Lawyers are probably telling him when and where he can take a piss.

Postponed Cancelled like the Songwriting 🎶 State Union. Oh No Orange 🍊 Face Tuned Again 📺

BretBaier Just send him to jail

BretBaier That's believable-LOL

I call Bullshit

BretBaier Fox may want to play tape of Giuliani on Tapper this weekend. Giuliani inferred Cohen's father in law was Ukrainian so he must be mobbed up. Tapper replied it's not a crime to be Ukrainian.

Hmmm. What came first. Delaying the testimony by Cohen or the BuzzFeedNews story.

So Hate and Fake News reaching to quote Lanny Davis the snake charmer for Bill Clinton and others. Media grabber as CNN put it 180726

Trump sounding more and more like Al Capone ,while the Republican Party has absolutely no Elliot Ness within its ranks only Frank Nitti’s

Another 'bombshell' dud.

Witness tampering by POTUS and Rudy.

So the threats to his family from Trump is fake news.

Not so fast. [STATEMENT] from Cummings & Schiff.

BretBaier Doesn’t jive with what Cohen himself said! More BS from this loser!

BretBaier Wondering if his parents punished him a lot for telling the truth when he was a child. He sure can't seem to tell it as an adult

BretBaier Go figure... “ole Stormy, we need you again” CNN

You left out the part where Donald has been threatening him and his family.

BretBaier

I will believe this when donkeys fly

he is afraid what they will unravel with his father in law.....and all the tax evasions Cohen was involved in with his Daddy..........a Hollywood movie is what this is....

He’s lost all credibility

JFC AP!!!! Fix your headline! How can you ignore the PRIMARY reason for the postponement... the stunning accusation that the so-called president of the United States (and his lawyer) has threatened Cohen's family!!!!!!!

Oh, so it's due to ongoing cooperation and not this Clintonista fairytale about threats from Trump?Got it. Thanks.

Is he taking the piss?

I missed this story bc I got stood up at my Tango class.

BretBaier Michael Cohen STOP lying —— you are a chronic liar and it has been proven. You have tried to make deal after deal to remain out of jail. Serve your time and move on

BretBaier and nobody saw this coming, right?

BretBaier More lies.

Needs time to relocate his family. Safety first.

BretBaier rezaaslan Get the facts little guy!

BretBaier Prison starts in March, so how long can he conceivably postpone this?

The man who would take a bullet for his boss is now afraid of taking one from him. I’d wear a bullet proof vest if I were him!!

BretBaier This is all for attention, I guess his mother didn’t give him enough attention.

BretBaier He’s such a weiner (not the Anthony type)

BretBaier What is it...cooperating in Russia investigation or is it threats to him from the President and his attorneys. Come on now...the past week should prove getting the story straight is most important.

BretBaier Thanks, Buzzfeed!

Right.. that's for sure the real reason. MichaelCohen212 the 'fixer' was intimidated. When will you stop believing this guy?

Cohen and Lanny figured out that they can damage the POTUS more by NOT testifying. And let's not forget, the only goat here IS to damage the POTUS.

BretBaier He has no cooperation agreement with Mueller.

The Twitter lawyers are much better experts than the FB lawyers. I'm amazed!

BretBaier Clown has zero cred. No need to question anymore

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

JonLemire You guys forgot the WITNESS TAMPERING FROM THE PRESIDENT

Since when can someone 'refuse' to appear before Congress on account of 'advice from their lawyers?' (awkward silence.)

BretBaier Just a minute ago Lanny Davis said it was postponed for threats made against Cohen by President Trump and Giulani. Which is it? If I were the president and his lawyer, there would be a lawsuit against Lanny and Cohen unless they provide evidence.

A headline that contradicts Cohen’s own letter. Good work, AP.

BretBaier More FAKE NEWS, this is yet another made up lie.

BretBaier Here we go again..... Fake

How come they claimed (falsely) an hour ago it was because Trump threatened him? **That was based on a tweet where Trump mentioned Cohen's father-in-law illegal activities. It wasn't a threat tho. So now Cohen's team changing the story? Lol

The Democrat's prime flannel mouth, Lanny Davis, needs time to get his lie together.

I understand his fear. But feel America needs to know the facts. We may never hear them from there AG. He stated in his confirmation hearing that it doesn't have to be released at all. He might issue a summary of what he seems important. Watch hearings YouTube.

Really ?

Real life mafia thuggery hiding behind religious liberty...

Cohen needs to file a charge with the police.

Are you serious? - NO you’re a joke

BretBaier more lies from Cohen, at least he is consistent

Subpoena his ass

Are they already walking back the claim Trump threatened Cohen's family?

You forgot the part about the president threatening his family.

Cohen, which is it Trump Threats or Cooperating w/ Russian Probe? You Liars Never get your stories straight. Try again go on CNN they know how to sell a lie.

This clown is playing the desperate leftists like a fiddle

So which is it? threats or Russia? Are the media fucking with us again?

Obstruction of justice and Witness Intimidation: Impeachment Now !!!

Is going to sue them or take any legal action?

Michael Cohen is a retard. Dumb as sh!t.

Ya ok called Buzzfeed 🤣🤣

Russia probe!..LMAO

could be the hottest february ever in DC ☀️

And again, Cohen = nothing.

you'd think mentioning the threats and their source would be mention in the tweet and DEFINITELY in the article...

Witness tampering & obstruction. Lock him up!

And when reached for comment Trump had this to say

RepCummings please subpoena. Thank you! Cohen CohenHasTapes testify subpoena

That’s not quite the lede

No one is above the law! The FBI + the Oversight Committee on behalf of the American public, must pursue justice & prosecute crimes committed by this admin & accomplices. Impeach prosecute Nullify this admin into oblivion. 🙏🏻🇺🇸⚖️ repeal legislation & remove ALL appointments.

Bullshit! His lawyer says it's because he fears his family is in danger.

I TOLD MICHAEL COHEN HE BETTER 'TELL THE TRUTH' IF HE KNOWS WHAT IS GOOD FOR HIM AND HIS FAMILY! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH TELLING HIM TO TELL THE TRUTH! I WOULD NEVER KILL HIM OR HIS FAMILY, I AM NOT THE CLINTONS! MAGA

Um, this is not what they are saying or it’s only part of it. They are also citing intimidation by realDonaldTrump and RudyGiuliani

ARE YOU SERIOUS WITH THIS HEADLINE? LET'S NOT GIVE UP THE FIRST FACT THAT HE SAID THREATS FROM THE POTUS WERE ALSO A FACTOR.

His face says 'I've got a secret, I've got a secret.' coverttribunal

USA organized in Venezuela a coup!

Good. Information he's giving Mueller is much more valuable than him testifying in public on the 7th. It will all eventually come out. It will be worth the wait.

The President of the United States is a garden variety thug. Let that sink in. The POTUS is intimidating witnesses in plain sight. It’s indefensible yet the MAGA crowd will defend realDonaldTrump regardless of how disgustingly unethical he behaves.

A convicted Lier delaying His testimony to the Democrats in congress is laughable

Yiu just said he was being harassed by trump your fake slimy news yellow journalism at its best

No hes getting threats get your facts straight JFC.

🇺🇸The charge of high crimes & misdemeanors covers misconduct such as perjury of oath, abuse of authority, bribery & intimidation. 💥In his threatening Cohen 💥By his extortive shutdown ..Trump has committed each. 💥It's time to impeach him 💥Not after the Mueller report. Now.

Others are reporting he is postponing it because of threats to his family.

Wait, didn't you just say it was for fear?

Oh my god, what is becoming of this country? The America we know and grew up in? How can a Pres threaten a private citizen just like a Mob or Mafia boss and a co-equal branch of the gov, Senate, does nothing? I’m not only speechless but also breathless
