I can't find anything specific in news articles. There seems to be confusion as if the threats were the ones made publicly by Trump and Guiliani that they were going to investigate Cohen's wife and father for crimes if Cohen testifies, or if there were threats made privately.What threats?
If that happened, it would be a signal that all bets are off and the knives would come out on both sides. That would be it, period.I can't find anything specific in news articles.

Either way, I would not be surprised if Cohen dies from an "accident" in prison before he can testify.
I honestly don't think the Trump administration is capable of that. I mean I'm sure they have the amorality and ruthlessness, I just don't think they have the competence to orchestrate it without everything pointing to them. They're not exactly Walter White and Saul, here.I can't find anything specific in news articles.

They're dumb enough to do a lot of things that are blatantly illegal and point directly to them. I don't see this as a line they're not willing to cross.I honestly don't think the Trump administration is capable of that.

Holy shit, did Trump actually order our diplomats to stay in Venezuela?! What the actual fuck?
Cory Gardner is so not getting reelected. Not a chance.First Republican breaks. Not a super-surprising one given how much of a struggle 2020 is going to be for him.

You deal with the problem in front of you. I suspect that if the Democrats are able to get a CR through without caving to Trump's demands then Trump will be unable to drag the Republicans into another shutdown fight since either A. Trump caved once the Senate Republicans showed some backbone or B. The Congress over rode the presidential veto which effectively breaks his back politically.A CR to February 8th is going to cause another shutdown in two weeks. We need something sustainable.
Surprised it's not the House.Senate subpoenas Cohen.
I'm not sure how they can block the testimony? All the House needs to do is subpoena Cohen and claim they have their own questions to ask that aren't covered by the "secret" transcripts of the Cohen Senate hearing.Surprised it's not the House.
Edit: this is so it will be private testimony and they will try to use it to block him from publicly testifying to the house.
