Of course Cohen’s attorney will publicly deny conspiracy to commit treason until he is granted immunity. No surprises here.

Maybe, but we do know for a fact that he regularly pays for sex. So, I don’t doubt for a second there’s a real story at the base of it. Tape or no tape.

So now we have a conundrum:
“McClatchy reported that special counsel Robert Mueller’s team had obtained evidence that Cohen had traveled to Prague…”
Whom do we believe: Steele, McClatchy, and Mueller – or Davis?
Something just doesn’t add up here…

I certainly think it’s possible there’s something sexual that would do him a lot of harm. That pee tape idea isn’t it, though. I’d guess it’s something much darker that involves youth, sadism, or both.

But the information didn’t come from Mueller, we can be pretty sure of that. That knocks the value down a lot.

Let’s see - Cohen is reported to have traveled through Germany to the Czech Republic for a meeting. And since Germany and the Czech Republic both love Trump, Putin and the Russians, there’s no customs reports, surveillance footage, etc. available to Mueller showing Cohen’s travels.
Riiigggghhhhttttt…
Maybe his lawyer was thinking of the Prague in southeastern Lincoln County, Oklahoma?
(I agree with the comments that the meeting was probably held outside of Prague’s city limits - but if they’re trying.to split hairs that fine it’s a stupid game to play with Mueller on the trail)

Oh shit if it was published Mueller knows about it.
The question is why didn’t Cohen’s lawyer know
Most of Europe is within the Schengen Area, where the states involved don’t require you to go through customs at every border once you’ve entered. There wouldn’t be customs records of him going to another country. Cohen’s original protestations about his passport were disingenuous. Or ignorant? It’s hard to know with him.

In other news, this Washington Post headline is devistating to Democrats. It reads weak and lacks conviction… “IN FALLOUT FROM TRUMP CONTROVERSIES, REPUBLICANS WARN THAT DEMOCRATS WILL SEEK HIS IMPEACHMENT. DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES ARE AVOIDING THE WORD.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/in-fallout-from-trump-controversies-republicans-warn-democrats-will-seek-his-impeachment-democratic-candidates-are-avoiding-the-word/2018/08/22/53917c44-a58e-11e8-97ce-cc9042272f07_story.html?utm_term=.b1ed8de6f2f3
This is the stuff of Trumpers’ wet dreams. They live to dominate and the Dems are letting them do it.
Wow, well… you know what they say, the stronger the denial, the more convincing it is!
They’ll all continue to deny, deny, deny… until Mueller whips out the evidence. Then we’ll all be like, “Whatchoo talking 'bout, Willis?”
That’s no conundrum, that’s my…
Oh right. Never mind.
There’s another thread with Cohen paying 50K for some sort of tech services for the campaign. And it occurs to me that the Russkies had Cohen come to Europe with a bag of money for stolen e-mails and phony social media stuff not because they wanted the money. They wanted the elements of an illegal conspiracy they could turn around and use as kompromat. And that’s exactly what our blithering idiot president gave them.

Wow, that was out just today?? Buried under an avalanche of other legal news and Trumpian crazymaking…
That isn’t trivial news either. Hopefully it gets picked up and moved forward in the mainstream. We need to defang all the feral chatter about the nature of the “dossier” and its author…

Not happening
The punditry might discuss it in detail, but aside from 5 minute stories, nope.

I think he was talking about Prog… not something I could see Cohen being into.
It’s legal to lie to your lawyer right?

Mueller hasn’t spoken on the issue. If Mueller has proof, we don’t know it yet. We don’t know much of anything because Mueller and Rosenstein have been ROCKS. Whatevere the nation’s highest honor is they deserve it for having withstood what must be unbelievable pressure from all sides.
I just want to see the Report!!! And I want Rosenstein to decide to distribute it publicly for the good of the nation, given the complicit GOPutins in Congress.

That would certainly scare Trump more than anything else and make him Putin’s puppet for as long as Putin wanted to control the strings.
Oh, yes.
