I read a report stating Mr. Cohen is postponing his testimony to Congress because of threats to him and his family by Mr. Guiliani and Mr. Trump. Yes, the president Trump.
Treats are illegal and if there are threats it only goes to prove the Trump White House is not an honorable institution.
Congress needs to subpoena Mr. Cohen. Mr. Cohen needs to report all threats regardless of source to the police and if the complaints are worthy, there will be prosecutions. That is the way the law works and no one is exempt.
If Mr. Cohen runs into resistance to file a complaint about threats against him or his family, he should report it to Congress along with whatever testimony exists. Congress can ask the FBI to investigate.
This is a pattern that is emerging. Stephanie Clifford had the same experience.
To be clear:
The US Congress, the elected legislative body, is asking for testimony from an American. The Dictator and Chief and his minion are threatening this American family. That is illegal. No one wants to place the Cohen Family in peril. No president, no Republican hack has the right to intimidate the USA government. It is important Michael Cohen testifies. His country wants answers. The Cohen Family is not to be sacrificed because of American justice through criminal acts. The Cohen Family is important. They are not sacrificial lambs. They need to be secure in their lives. If the USA Congress can't receive testimony it cannot govern. I am glad the Cohen Family has come forward about their fears. The governing authority of the people of the USA has to be satisfied. This is outrageous that an American family cannot provide information to the US Congress without fear. This cannot stand.
