Flashback: Intelligence Community Believes It Was a Different Michael Cohen Who Visited Prague
Mediaite ^ | January 11th, 2017

Posted on 04/13/2018 7:08:54 PM PDT by Helicondelta

CNN’s Jake Tapper reported Wednesday morning that intelligence officials looked into allegations from an explosive unsubstantiated memo that Trump lawyer Michael Cohen visited Prague in late August to meet with Russian officials, and found that it was a different Michael Cohen who visited the city.

Cohen strongly denied the charges Tuesday, saying that he had never been to Prague. The Washingtonian reported that two sources at the University of Southern California confirmed that Cohen was in Los Angeles at the time he was supposed to have been in Europe.

Tapper seemingly confirmed Cohen’s story. “People tried to run that down and concluded it was a different Michael Cohen. It was a Michael Cohen with a passport from another country, same birth year, different birth date,” he said.

“For him to dispute he was in the Czech Republic comports with our reporting,” Tapper said.

Why is “this” coming back up now? Leaks from the records they stole? Or CNN trying to get credibility for something they falsely reported months ago?

Michael Cohen is a very common name.
Both the first and last name can be spelled in many different ways.

McLatchy is the only “source” for this story.

Any of the others reporting this are just repeating it.

Drudge, the Queen Faggot, Headlined this pack of lies with a Photo of Cohen being grabbed, presumably by law enforcement. Drudge should be banned & shunned by every Conservative site, after today’s Despicable reporting.

Michael Cohen went over their to pay off the Russian hookers with his own money, of course. That’s why they’ve never come forward.

There was a Dem on Tucker Carlson tonight who claimed that, in addition to the Stormy “investigation,” they got the warrant to search Cohen’s stuff based on his alleged trip to Prague.

I went to elementary school with a “Michael Cohen”. I have dated photos to prove it. Could it be he the Cohen who went to Prague?

Passport stamps will tell whether the attorney Michael Cohen went to Prague. So will flight records by whatever airlines flew that at the specific time.

Now if people saw him in California at some kind of meeting, I would take that as a “NO”, he was not in Prague at the same time.

However, for the Democrats/Liberals/Progressives/Marxist Bernyites and Pelosi/Hillary lunatics, the Truth is not enough to convince them.

That is why people are called “insane” and the Democrats of today are proving it in spades.

From the article...

...I hope at the press conference today people are more general, because a lot of that stuff just has not been proven.”

“Mueller has evidence that Trump lawyer met in Prague with Russians during campaign, sources say”

Mueller is saying Cohen was in Prague after all - despite his passport saying otherwise: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/mueller-has-evidence-that-trump-lawyer-met-in-prague-with-russians-during-campaign-sources-say/ar-AAvRnHE?ocid=spartandhp

“But investigators have traced evidence that Cohen entered the Czech Republic through Germany, apparently in August or early September 2016 as the former spy reported, said the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Cohen wouldn’t have needed a passport for such a trip, because both countries are in the Schengen Area, in which 26 nations have open borders. The disclosure still left a puzzle: The sources did not say whether Cohen took a commercial flight or private jet to Europe, and gave no explanation of why no record of such a trip has surfaced.”

Lets see the proof or stop this nonsense.

Michael Cohen is a very common name.

So if there were two Michael Cohen's visiting Prague, it would not be unusual.

That’s a good point. Facial recognition technology could prove someone was in a certain place if they passed by the relevant cameras and if the data was then made available. If the FBI asked Germany or the Czech Republic whether a particular person had been there, would they know and would they give an answer? And even if they did, would any of these governments want to have that capability discussed in court?

That was settled during the campaign, wasn’t it? This Cohen was visiting his son in college at the time in question, IIRC. His passport was “clean”.

When will these people get over it? Old Crusty lost the election; move on already.
