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

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.

Yep. If this is true then Muellers investigation leaked it. More likely it’s not true.

This proves the raid on his info was a setup and getting to find stuff in hopes it has a smoking gun.

Prague?
The Czechs hate the Russians for crying out loud. The USSR invaded Prague in 1968 and crushed the Prague Spring. Visiting Prague should be proof of Trump being anti - Russian instead of the other way round.

Odd that the lie is being dragged out again, like a rat the got buried, and a stray cat dug it up.

***************

1. Source would almost have to be from inside Mueller’s camp, though SDNY could be another possibility. Yet another illegal leak, if true, or a misleading half-truth. Could be something ambiguous that they want to take as an indication that Cohen was there.

2. If not true, it is from a trouble-maker of some kind who is trying to exploit the recent raid on Cohen’s offices to spread another whopper, perhaps to make it look like Trump is under more pressure to fire Mueller.

It was another Michael Cohen. It’s not just fake news, it’s a damn lie.

I wonder if this was the hook he used to give a referral to NY FBI for the warrant and the raids.

If it’s true trump will be impeached and all the people defending him will be humiliated......remember Cohen said he had never been to Prague......this would be a huge game changer

Many of my friends have been to Prague, and its on my list too. None of us have/had any involvement with Russians or election meddling.Prague is a great city to visit... in the summer.

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. After all Hillary communicated with Russians and that is a proven fact. I suspect that the story is fake. Notice that the story says throughout “IF” he was in Prague. So they author is hedging. My suspicion is that they are trying to make Cohen sweat. But it does show what I’ve been saying since the raid on Cohens office. Mueller is not investigating the Stormy Daniels matter. What he’s really investigating is the GPS allegation that Cohen went to Prague.

Apparently the other Michael Cohen had the same birth year. So it was easy to fool fake journalists.

and it should be pretty easy to confirm if lawyer Cohen was really at the USC basketball game with his son

Exactly. Russia made Hillary have some email reaction and she was boned into a waiting van.

Or not.
