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!”

I agree fully, but you’re not looking at the simple fact that Mueller is manufacturing sound bites for the MSM to use to weaken Trump’s roots.

The fact they are now recirculating rumors that have been proved false just shows they have nothing. If they had something that was real it would be leaked.

Mueller is a bad man.

You are mixing pretext with reason.

The two are not one and the same.

I’ll be shocked if anything from this raid ever is heard in court. It was nothing but a calculated maneuver. It dares Trump to act - which is a win for Mueller, it may produce evidence that can be used to pressure all parties concerned - also a win for mooseface, and it’s a preemptive strike to the IG reports on McCabe and ‘collusion’.

These Stalinist tactics are also a warning to anyone in the future who considers running for office from outside of the swamp. ....we will ruin you and anyone who works with you. Scary.

“under the penalty of perjury” is there such a thing?

I think that Mueller under oath should be asked if Cohen went to Prague in late 2016 and then as a separate question if that was part of the reason for the raid on Mr. Cohen's office?

Then if Cohen was not in Prague, disbar Mueller and force him to resign his special prosecutor post as he will no longer be a valid attorney.

It is time to double down and play hardball with Mueller.

I heard Stepho was "stunned" at something Comey said (translated: lied) about Trump in their interview.

He was not stunned at Comey for making such an allegation against a sitting president.

Partisan Stepho was stunned that Trump would do such a thing. He was agreeing with Comey's childish attacks on the president and then adding his own editorializing to show his "feelings".

Poor fella' was stunned, I tell you. Absolutely stunned that Trump would do something so awful.

This is a measure of how desperate they are to prop up the Dossier.


Susan Rice and Samantha Powers tell their media friends their stories, and they get printed every single time.

This is typical LUNATIC LIB lunacy. Yet they continue to make sh** up and present it as fact. It is merely part of their delusional existence. What worthless losers .

I’ve driven back and forth across the US using a credit card. Afterwards, when I looked at my statement it was astounding—my entire trip was essentially tracked by the mile and minute.

My older sister dated a Mike Cohen back in the late 70s. Hmmm, I wonder.

It’s possible, but it is a very common name.

Not like Smith or Jones were, but common.

It would probably be easy to trace backgrounds for. He is well known.

And McClatchy News is, too!

Yep - dropped my subscription to the local paper years ago after McClatchy bought it out - became really tough for conservatives to get their opinions on the "Sound Off" page...

Note my use of the word “supposedly”......I didn’t say he wrote the check out of campaign funds. One of the reasons given for the raid on Cohen’s office was to DETERMINE if the money was paid out of campaign funds.

And yes, I usually do get my information from news reports. Where do you get yours? What’s the other source of reporting ANYTHING that happens?

::What does any of that have to do with Cohen supposedly writing a check to Stormy Daniels out of campaign funds?::
