Based on limited scope of questions he would answer and on going possible criminal charges pending against POTUS the concensus was better he not testify. I agree threats against family sound like convenient excuse.

And yet the Trumplings will continue to close their eyes to this and pretend it's perfectly normal, just business as usual
Cohen is playing a game. There are no threats against his family. That's a stupendous lie. Yes, I admit that it reflects poorly on Trump that he hired this sleazebag, but Cohen's decision not to testify has nothing to do with anything Trump has done, and your comment really is silly. Close our eyes to what?

Refusing to testify is not "witness tampering".

No, they haven't, since there were none.

possible criminal charges against the POTUS? says who? the media?

the reason it's bad idea for him to testify under oath is that he will be cross-examine by lawyers from both sides and he can open a can of worms unknown to the public and he leaves himself open to lying under oath again or other crimes.....If I was his lawyer I would tell him not to testify until the Mueller report comes out....His lawyer already advised him on that and if they didn't he should get new lawyers.

Democrats could care less about him, they just want to use him to give the President bad headlines the same way they used Christine Ford for political gain.

I can tell you why -- there weren't any threats!

It's hard to forget things that never happened.

A veiled threat worthy of an investigation is obstruction of justice if it proves out. Mueller is on it like white on rice.
