Cohen threatened by Trump et al. I’m struck by the many times victims of violent crimes testify at great risk but Cohen is deterred by his past puppet-master. Hope Cohn gets a subpoena and gets some guts.
Yes!
As I’ve said 10 times its time for The House of Representatives to activate the Constitutions Amendment 25 and impeach this monster for mental incapacity! He’s literally just a Don with a posse that needs to be stopped.
I’m sure The Don threatened Cohens family. Remember your dealing with a cruel inhuman shrewd businessman. Not a politically refined President. This is a man that can push a button and have a hit man at your house by 6:30pm!
He was gonna testify, and now he won't willingly testify because of threats to his family. The fact that anyone sees a gray area demonstrates allegiance to a system which places political reputation over morals and law.
Shortest article ever - 'Yes'
Lock 'em up!
littleguyfedup Let's dissect the word tampering. To tamp something means to pack down into something tightly. I'm done
Yes it does. It's the work of a mafia don. Not the potus
Can I just clarify that the question being asked here is, 'Does tampering with a witness count as witness tampering?'
Most Citizens sense that Michael Cohen knows far more about trump’s sleazy moves and business practices than he has revealed thus far. The corruption and unethical here run deep. Trump’s fear about further testimony happens when Citizens know who caused the shutdown.
Anyone surprised? I’m surprised it took this long for them to threaten him.
Because Cohen is definitely believable
If Cohen says it must be true - I’m sure he has evidence, no?
YES😬😮😖🤐
Yes.
Wonder if he has ever heard of this guy named Richard Nixon?
Seriously!?!? He’s doing this on plain sight & no GOP members are calling him on it? AOC ananavarro LindseyGrahamSC
OMG ....😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yup, charge them under RICO, that is what they deserve
What the hell is wrong with the Senate. Hold this thug of a president accountable. Where’s Mitch?
No need for facts if we can please just rush to judgement.
Yes. And threatening someone is a crime. Arrest him.
Yes.
It would. If it happened. Let us know when you see any actual proof of this accusation.
YES
No, that’s just the power of suggestion to REPUBS.
In a word, yes.
No. That amounts to lying.
Works for me
And by the way, calling Cohen a liar isn’t even slander because it’s true
Before once again doing a “Joy Behar”, perhaps a few clear statementsfrom Cohen about the threats made? Calling someone names is not a threat, and that’s all I’ve heard so far
MUD IN YOUR EYE TRUMP
If there was even a shred of evidence to back this up, you would be reporting on that instead of asking hypotheticals to prime your dyed in the wool audience.
A better question is whether there's independent evidence of the threat. I'd hate to be on a jury trying to determine who's testimony is more credible out of that troika of liars.
Yes it does... America is shit.
No doubt.
Yes it does
YES.
Did he plead guilty to fraud? I don’t think credibility is his strong suit.
Analysis: The sun came out today. Does that amount to a sunrise?
Yes.
Yes!!!
Hahaha. Another day, more FakeNews journalism.
Yes!!! How is this even a question?
Let’s see how long that smirk remains on Trump face! Mueller is coming!
Yes. Impeach
The 3 step Playbook of the Anti-Trump Media Playbook: 1) If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. 2) Spin it, till you win it. 3) Use the words, “Racist or White Supremacist” regardless the topic/event of the POTUS.
I said it before and I will say it again. Donald D Con Trump is above the law. He can do what ever he wants. He stole the 2016 election worth he help of Putin and no one cares. Bravo America. Well done
Yes that is witness tampering.
WaPo 3 hours into this tweet and not even 1k likes. No one is buying this (well maybe those 800 and something likes) but no one else.
Of course it does but as ever nothing will be done about it.
Cohen just keeps on LYING!!!
No that amounts to a liar being embraced by the Marxist leftist media
Duh!
More Cohen lies!
Prove it or shut up.
No, it amounts to Cohen lying again. Big whoop.
Bullshit narrative. FakeNewsAlert
PKelpe Why aren't Trump and Rudy in jail for obstruction of Justice and witness tampering
Where is SenSchumer SenMajLdr SpeakerPelosi MittRomney and everyone else screaming at their top of their lungs “WITNESS TAMPERING BY THE PRESIDENT. THAT IS A CRIME” be brave people!
There is another section of the witness tampering statute you should be focusing on. One that does not require an intent to influence the testimony. If mere harassment actually causes a witness to delay or cancel testimony, that is witness tampering.
That picture is so fucking creepy.
Absolutely
Yes.
Apparently not if it’s done within the Beltway. Laws and rules ate for the little guy. Notice at one end we have everyone easily arrested & it’s just “too hard” at the high end.
Yep.
Yes. Yes it does. If he was smart he has proof and recordings if phone calls were made.
Excuse me, WaPo it IS witness tampering, so why the hell are you asking a question?
Yes it does.
Why don't we ask the criminals in this case where they'd like the goal posts? That seems to be what we're waiting for. In ANY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE, POTUS & his criminal cronies would be behind bars facing charges already. The fact that that's a fact - makes your question stupid.
Yes it does
Too bad the complicit DOJ won’t do anything.
Ah the bastard in chief.
OMG, that picture! 🤣🤣🤣
Blackmail too
FakeNews
I'm no lawyer but I saw it in a few mob trials
Yeah, ok. Lmao
Yes. Trump has overtly threatened a witness by going after family. Doesn't even know Cohen's father in law's name but raised some questionable activity to investigate? Who is the mob boss and criminal?
It amounts to another lie told by Ed Fallon convicted of perjury by the United States government. It’s an excuse to avoid having to tell the truth.
Of course!
The Russian Prostitute thinks he's a mob boss.....
Yes!!
The obvious answer is YES if true.
Pretty obvious to me and I'm no lawyer.
YES
🤔
Duh
Cohen is a liar.
Hah!! 😂😂
Show the evidence and proof = arrest the people threatening the witness
Yes that is tampering.
Sounds like racketeering
Hahahaha, 'Cohen Says'
Yes
Tl;dr: Duh.
Yup! Lock him up! Lock him up!
Ummm, if you have to ask...
No
Even the lib ran Washington Post Don't believe this. They are peddling their lib agenda. Not jounalism. Lib media destroying America mentality
Michael Cohen was convicted for lying. What he states here is opinion not fact. Who gives a crap what he says
Gwendifyr Yes. Next question.
Yes, yes it does. Trump has done this often.
Frozen? Let it go. Move on.
Yes
Sure, if he can prove it... 😳
Mafia Trump at work again!
Watch for this story. This is very convincing he committed a crime.
Hell yes
Read the statute. Yes.
Wtf do you think? 🙄 Of course, that fool is so stupid and almost uncontrollable that he thinks he can do or say anything in plain sight. Remember he can shoot someone in the middle of Times Square and no one would care. Well there you go.
WaPoo knows this is another bogus story, hence the headline being framed as a question
Damn skippy it does!
Sure. FBI and Congress need to investigate
Is that really a question?
YES!!! What do YOU think, WAPO?
Absolutely!! Right in our face
Short answer: YES ... 🤦
Lock him up. Trump is a mob boss. Time to impeach. His behavior is despicable.
Only if you believe A lying SOB like Cohen. Evidently you do.
Yes, next question.
What’s the evidence again? Oh, Cohen said so. Works for me......smh.
He also said he didn’t cheat on his taxes, really people believe this guy?
Yes!
Trump is like an emotional abuser. He can't help himself but to bully his targets. Calls to talk shows or tweets. He worked with Cohen 12 years, Cohen should know the mind of the madman.
Yes.
No
Nice pic
Yes, threatened him with the truth! I knew he would never show up to testify again and risk getting more jail time added to his sentence!
Yes and why is yet another crime in plain sight being overlooked
Um yea
There NO FBI AGENTS LEFT to investigate any one ...there ALL busy INVESTIGATING THE TRUMPS CRIMES , CORRUPTION, MONEY LAUNDERING . TAX EVASION , REAL ESTATE SCHEMES, MONEY LAUNDERING , RUSSIAN AGENT , ....TRUMP SHOULD NEVER THROW STONES .....TRUMPS A .....THUG ......
If proven true, it sure does.
Technically perhaps, but then Trump’s and Giuliani’s verbiage is notoriously white noise & toothless and doesn’t amount to much of anything. I think its just a chance for dems like me to call foul against the president and his attorney and make some oppositional noise of our own
Funny how the Post knows this clown is a habitual liar, yet chooses to believe him when it benefits their hatred for this president.
It’s counterintuitive that a president can commit crimes and be untouchable, but average Joe committing the same crime can be indicted. Our forefathers never anticipated that other branches of the gov’t would support said President in his criminal activity. This is pure BS.
realDonaldTrump Like the Mob! Giuliani, Trumpini! Quit busting his chops! he is just flipping a little! Forget about it!
Giuliani & Trump openly stated that an investigation of Cohen's family needs to happen because something might be there.. If this doesn't SCREAM witness tampering then it absolutely SCREAMS broken justice system and we are one step closer to communist party government.
DUH!
Yes
playing with the big boys is no fun~throws you in jail~taking away the moon & your sun~ he was the mouth to dishonesty ~Now he can sit in disgrace~then he'll know the feeling of punishment~& it's taste~evil does not win good~That should be understood÷
realDonaldTrump have broken every law that could get even the manager of a McDonald’s branch fired, but despite all his million misgivings he is emboldened by GOP party trustees that cares more for their party’s survival than the greater good of the country. IsThisStillTheUS
Yes
Short answer... yes. IndictTrump IndictPence
Why, is the president under an indictment? Here's an example of how a biased garbage media panders to Trump-haters with cynical headlines.
Put forth the evidence and lets see what a court has to say on the matter advanced by Cohen. We can talk all day, but like everything else from DC all we see is a large circle of nonsence.
More fakeNews. When exactly did a sitting president and former NYC Mayor threaten him? What did they say, specifically?
I would like to change my answer to “Only if he is charged.”
Yes.
Yup
No just lying
Lies, lies, lies!
Cohen is a liar no proof has been shown
Why is your headline phrased as a question?
Does ‘Analysis’ stand for opinion? Please save this story for a time when it can actually be backed up by facts and evidence! This is purely stirring the pot, not reporting. Go out and find the truth instead of just pondering from your desk!
Only if it can be proven.
If Cohen is yelling the truth he’ll have documentation or Audi to back him up on this. Be willing to bet there is none.
😂😂
As president, Trump can't be indicted for witness tampering, but could Giuliani? If so, I hope he is.
Keep talking
He said as much in a tweet that something was going to happen to his father-in-law
One thing that seems lost here: realDonaldTrump is defending himself by saying, “You should know, as I do, that my long time fixer and trusted liaison to Russia has deep connections to Ukrainian organized crime. Look into that.” I don’t doubt it, Don.
Yes
Nobody threatened him, he just has nothing to say that is the truth!
Yes it does. Now haul them in.
According to the definition, yes. According to alternative facts and truth-is-not-truth, it’s just hypothetical.
When is enough, enough. Trump destroys our democracy every day.
THEY HAD BETTER HAVE PROOF THIS TIME RUDY WILL SUE HIS OFF!!!!
You mean Michael Cohen who plead guilty to lying?
Yes
Hmm if it was me i would have punched trump and kicked his lawyer in the balls😊
How has Giuliani not been disbarred yet
I sit 14yo down with stories like this and explain to him what it means-- that for 50 years of my life many of the things he hears about this President were unheard of for any president. Don't let it lower your standards, you can expect better, I tell him. But what if he can't?
ResignTrump
Michael Cohen said. Since being a convicted liar M.Cohen has become the 13 th disciple spreading God’s truth.
It does seem that Trump commits felony after felony. Yikes!
Yes
Yes it does
Trump made threats in TV - why does someone in congress try to get a “Restraining Order” against Trump&Rudy - not normal but they are not NORMAL- let them fight it
Yes
🙄
Melania Trump is a Russian Sleeper agent sent here to marry Trump. Her mission was to get him to run for President so the Russians will ruin our Democracy.
Why such a weak statement. Either it is witness tampering or it isn't. It was not a metaphor for witness tampering.
Duh
Short answer: Yes. Trump operates like a mobster, threats, bullying, stiffing ordinary workers then and now.
Hell yes it does
Of course it’s witness tampering.
Evidence of such threats?
By winking at him?😜😜😜
Well we All heard the the threats on national tv and twitter. Cohen has a country of witness's.
Absolutely. Obstruction.
After trying to destroy teenagers with FakeNews its back to FakeNews about POTUS FakeNewsMedia the EnemyOfThePeople
You can't say that the POTUS threatened you and offer no proof. This is nonsense.
real journalist would ask, where is the evidence and what's the truth about the allegation considering the volume of lies been spread around by Cohen? That is what your main concern should be, before paddling conspiracy theories.
Yes. When will we stop asking questions. How about 'Trump will be charged with witness tampering.'
Yes and fooliani should know better. The bar association should look into his license. TrumpMitchShutDown
Unless it’s not true and he is playing us for a pardon. These are not good people. None of them.
Who believes a proven liar? Who believes WaPo? FAKE NEWS.
Nah... Build his wall...add bars...feed him three times a day...install a live feed because he loves an audience
Trump is the best president in the world
In the real world, you’d think so. However, in that parallel universe that is now the USA - who’d know.
Trump's friend.
Is that a rhetorical question?
I suppose it would if he were telling the truth but we know he’s not because he’s a convicted liar. He’s just decided not to testify in front of Congress and risk more charges.
LOCK HIM UP! Besides, Pelosi just made him fold up like a $2 suitcase.
Pardon me if we don’t believe a guy that’s already lied in the investigation. Not to mention, it requires corroborating witnesses, which don’t exist. 🤷🏼♂️
Is it witness tampering when any other criminal threatens the family of a witness?
How stupid can 1 people be?
TRUMP MAKES THREATS AGAINST COHEN ......IF THE FATHER IN LAW IN INVOLVED IN ORGANIZED CRIME ...TRUMP JUST STEPPED IN IT .......THEY LL COME FOR YOU .......TRUMP
I mean does it even fucking matter at this point? They do what they want.
If it would be witness tampering for John Smith to do it, it's witness tampering for those two numbskulls.
Yes
No because there is no proof that he has been threatened. And you can't take the word of a person convicted of perjury without proof. You already know that he is a liar.
If he has EVIDENce then he's good 2 go!!
Yep
Of course it does, but nothing will be done. 🇨🇦
Yes.
Huge if true
Of course
Yes..it’s time to draw up articles of impeachment for trump
In most situations it does. Why wouldn't it apply here as well? Rhetorical
Yes and his family should get protection.
