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 Washington Times is a well respected newspaper, unlike many in the US and globally. The article is excerpted and you need to go to the link to understand it fully. Not a long article.

The witch hunt must end. Mueller must be exposed for what he is.

Here is another similar article, with many pictures and a lot of detail, but without the credibility of The Washington Times. Both are dated today.

Sounds like that dossier is full of nothing but lies.

I am glad Cohen addressed this again. I figured it was fake news when I saw it yesterday.

On 1-13-17 CNN declared that Cohen was right, the stories about him being in Prague were false.

Today CNN says Cohen is lying about being in Prague.

I think CNN just might possibly be part of the liberal propaganda machine. It’s just a wild hunch at this time but
I will study the issue further.

And McClatchy News is, too!

Don't J-schools teach journalism any more? Cutting and pasting a press release or talking points ain't journalism. (My dad was a journalist in the Golden Age of Journalism and I'm sure he's spinning in his grave now.)

All he’s got to do is present his passport...don’t the countries stamp them when you travel there?

Yes, he must. And he is good at what he does. The bad part is that Mueller will do absolutely anything to protect the deep state. Legal or illegal. Ethical or not. Makes no difference to him. I hope he chokes on this one.

I just had someone tell me that there are some things in the dossier (campaign hit piece sold to a judge) that are true. I asked him what and he said he did not know but there must be something.

I think CNN needs to get out the checkbook. Cohen can tell them how many zeroes he wants them to put on one.

Yes, that has been known for a long time. They just keep flogging a dead horse. It is all they have, but it is still dead.

However their illegal searches on Monday may reveal something more. But if it is not related to the search or client privileged it won’t help them.

It is a fishing expedition. Aimed at the POTUS.

If they fail, what will it cost them?

I don’t think Cohen is the best guy in the world, but I believe him. There’s no good outcome for him to lie.

He gave them his passport right when he denied this.

He already has. Now the Mueller crowd are saying he went to another EU country and then went by train without showing pasport to Prague.

Cohen is still emphatically saying he has never been to Prague.

Earlier they found another Cohen that had been but not same man.

This is all deep state hockey.

Sure, but we're in the "could have" phase of this little smear campaign, wherein Cohen "could have" traveled to one country and secretly sneaked into and out of another, and even if he was provably in LA at the time he "could have" gotten on a jet with a false passport or a Star Trek transporter or dropped into a inter-dimensional rift. At this point the media are demanding he prove a negative.

He already did that. Now they’re saying he took a private flight to Germany, of which they haven’t found any evidence, and just crossed freely to Prague.

Knowing how stupid these old guys are, we may find that he was using a VPN service while in Hawaii, and connected out from a server in Prague and signed into Amazon.

Well, we do know that a Michael Cohen visited Prague in 2016 so it simply HAS to Donald Trump’s lawyer.

I mean, Cohen is such an uncommon name that pretty much seals the deal all by itself, but add the exotic and almost never seen or heard first name of Michael and Mueller’s trusty blood hounds have that one treed with, in the words of John McLaughlin , metaphysical certainty

It was him, Michael Cohen has been exposed/S
