A trio of top House Democrats on Sunday warned President Trump against "any action to obstruct" oversight efforts by Congress.

The warning — issued in a statement by Reps. Elijah Cummings (Md.), Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.) and Adam Schiff (Calif.) — came after Trump on Saturday said his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, should "give information maybe on his father-in-law" during his upcoming congressional testimony.

Trump, during an interview with Fox News's Jeanine Pirro, said Saturday that Cohen was planning to give information to Congress "to get his sentence reduced."

"Well, there is no information. But he should give information maybe on his father-in-law, because that’s the one that people want to look at," Trump said. "Because where does that money — that’s the money in the family. And I guess he didn’t want to talk about his father-in-law — he’s trying to get his sentence reduced. So it’s pretty sad. It’s weak and it’s very sad to watch a thing like that. I couldn’t care less," the president continued.

That is pretty gangsta of Trump. If Cohen spills the beans on Trump, Trump will have his new AG make life miserable for Cohen's father-in-law.

1. Just another

impeachable offense to add to the ever growing list.

But When will it happen? Does Vegas have odds on that yet?

2. What's next? A black spot in the hand? A horse head in the bed?

Geez.

He's threatening Cohen's family.......is he going to kick the crutches away from the daughter??

3. For someone that says...

"I couldn't care less", that seems to be a whole lot of unnecessary commentary. Once again projecting the street thuggishness that his deplorable base idolizes.

5. FWIW, Josh Marshall at TPM has been following Cohen

for years. Coehn's FIL is at least an associate of some criminal elements. There's a lot of info at his website, not all of which is behind a paywall. Well worth a look if you are new to the Michael Cohen story.
