Sources: Mueller has evidence Cohen was in Prague in 2016, confirming part of dossier
McClatchy ^ | April 13, 2018 | Peter Stone and Greg Gordon

Posted on 04/13/2018 6:17:21 PM PDT by RedMominBlueState

WASHINGTON The Justice Department special counsel has evidence that Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and confidant, Michael Cohen, secretly made a late-summer trip to Prague during the 2016 presidential campaign, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Confirmation of the trip would lend credence to a retired British spy’s report that Cohen strategized there with a powerful Kremlin figure about Russian meddling in the U.S. election.

It would also be one of the most significant developments thus far in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of whether the Trump campaign and the Kremlin worked together to help Trump win the White House. Undercutting Trump’s repeated pronouncements that “there is no evidence of collusion,” it also could ratchet up the stakes if the president tries, as he has intimated he might for months, to order Mueller’s firing.

Did you have to use the words “Hillary” and “boned in a van?”

This is all about trying to justify using the phony dossier for the illegal Fisa requests.

F BI are trying to spin that if even one thing in the phony dossier is true, they were justified in using it to spy on Trump.

Also trying to protect those that signed off on the Fisa request, RR, etc.

It won’t work though. They are so desperate. The dossier is FAKE and full of lies. Lies that the F BI paid for.

“Could be for Cohen if it’s true. If so then he lied to the investigators. But as far as Trump is concerned the fact that Cohen was in Prague doesn’t prove that he met with Russians. And even if he did, that only means that Trump communicated with Russians, which is not illegal in itself. “

That is exactly right. This particular lie is a problem for Cohen but not necessarily Trump. It depends on what else Cohen had on his computers in regard to Trump. I suspect this stuff will dribble out for quite a while.

I agree with your take on it.

Question is, will anyone every be called to account for this B.S.?

it’s totally fake news. Trump’s Cohen made his passport public many months ago to prove that he wasn’t in Prague in 2016.

It’s mind-boggling that news THIS fake is being published by the fake stream media.

Stop clutching your pearls. This lie was debunked a year ago. Sheesh! What weak sisters.

You have nailed it on the head. It’s all a desperate attempt to lay claim to a ‘legitimate’ thread in the dossier. The deep state will get you anyway they can.

Louise Mensch’s claim was that he flew to the airport on a private jet that didn’t file a flight plan, and used his Israeli 2nd passport.

That seems pretty far fetched but she had some speculation about which planes that were just almost plausible sounding.

The claimed purpose of the trip was to pay cash to Romanian hackers, which was done at the airport private terminal.

She’s way out there, but that is her theory.

Howdy. :^) Even if Cohen did sneak into Prague and did conspire with some Ruskies to influence the election - it did not accomplish anything... and, would that break any laws? It has to be as another poster suggested: add credibility to the dossier - which still boils down to building support for impeachment - which boils down to precipitating a civil war. The Left seems to be yearning to have one.

McClatchey is to truthful news as “Dur Sturmer” was to good Nazi-Jewish relations.

McClachy said that Russian Bots were being used on-line to seek the release of the Nunes memo.

Was that true?

Get a grip people. I suggest Samantha Powers or Susan Rice as sources.

The Hate will produce these crazy stories.
