Cohen again denies traveling to Prague in 2016 to meet with Russians
The Washington Times ^ | Saturday, April 14, 2018 | Rowan Scarborough

Michael Cohen, president Trump’s personal lawyer, again on Saturday denied that he ever traveled to Prague during the 2016 election, as alleged in ex-British spy Christopher Steele’s dossier funded by the Democratic Party.

Mr. Cohen tweeted in response to a McClatchy News story that said specialcounsel Robert Mueller has evidence that he traveled to Prague in August 2016. The dossier said he went there to meet with Vladimir Putin aides to supposedly discuss covering up Russian-Trump hacking into Democratic Party computers.


Mr. Cohen has testified repeatedly under oath, and thus under the penalty of perjury, that he never made such a trip. He has filed a libel suit against BuzzFeed, which published the dossier.

He tweeted on Saturday: “Bad reporting, bad information and bad story by same reporter Peter Stone @McClatchyDC. No matter how many times or ways they write it, I have never been to Prague. I was in LA with my son. Proven!”

The taint team is tainting the case. If much more is leaked, the SC and the NYAG won’t have a leg to prosecute at all

and this is why, when searching an attny’s office, a special master, not a taint team, must be used

“So if this alleged visit to Prague is the probable cause for the search warrant, I think Mueller just got himself into a bunch of doo doo.

Bad probable cause, and everything seized becomes the fruit of a poisoned tree, and is therefore inadmissible. ”

FOX reported yesterday the search was related to pre-campaign business dealings. Where have we heard THAT before....

They probably don’t care if they can prosecute, as long as they drag the case past the next election.

In early 2017, Cohen denied traveling to Prague.

At that time, CNN's Jake Tapper, said something to the effect, that based on their reporting, he was telling the truth and did not travel to Prague. IOW, CNN corroborated his story.

Now they are saying something completely different.

Of course, it is not based on any reporting this time. It is more expedient for their current storyline to say that he is lying about not being in Prague.

What does any of that have to do with Cohen supposedly writing a check to Stormy Daniels out of campaign funds? I thought that was the reason given for raiding his office.

“Cohen again denies traveling to Prague in 2016 to meet with Russians”

Translated:

Cohen again lies about traveling to Prague in 2016 to meet with Russians.

HE WASN’T THERE!, because he has NEVER been there.

OMG, we are finished as a country. Truth, Justice, and The American Way no longer matter. Superman wouldn’t recognise this country today.

If I still drank, I’d have a stiff one. If I still smoked, I’d get high. If I could still have sugar, I’d eat a whole pie.

I guess I’ll pray.

He admitted writing the check, not out of campaign funds.

See, what is in the press is not real.

Sounds like that dossier is full of nothing but lies

Sounds like the "proof" that Cohen went is part of the DNC set up.

The dossier said he went there to meet with Vladimir Putin aides to supposedly discuss covering up Russian-Trump hacking into Democratic Party computers.

The "dossier" has been discredited many times. Why would Mueller re-cycle false information through the same discredited writer?

“Show me the man,” says any federal prosecutor, “and I can show you the crime.” Somehow the Stalin/Beria technique has found its way into Mueller's camp?

No.

Read this excerpt from the January 2017 link below:

....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. “It’s one of the reasons the intelligence chiefs did not get specific with these allegations. That’s why I hope at the press conference today people are more general, because a lot of that stuff just has not been proven...."

Intelligence Community Believes It Was A Different Michael Cohen Who Visited Prague.

But Cohen does not look Jewish! Actually he looks very close to one of my dorm-mates, an Italian boy from NJ. It is eerie how much he reminds me of the NJ Italian ancestry student.

I don’t believe anything that isn’t put out into public by a court. (and not always that.) Till there are consequences for officials lying, or presstitutes lying, then there will be no accepting of their word that anything is as they say.

The existing media structure needs to be smashed. Till we have Mark Steyn or Rush Limbaugh as News Anchors on the national broadcast News, we do not have parity in control of the airwaves.

We should attempt dominance of all airwaves, but the least we should settle for is parity.

Having political hacks like Stephanopolous controlling the news fed to the American Public ought to result in million dollar per day fines against the Broadcast networks.
