Intelligencer: Cohen previously confessed Czech visits

Most recent Trump lawyer (Michael Cohen) tweet stipulates cohen has never been to Prague.

Specifically - according to McClatchyDC
https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/investigations/article219016820.html

It states -

McClatchy reported in April 2018 that Mueller had obtained evidence Cohen traveled to Prague from Germany in late August or early September of 2016, but it could not be learned how that information was gleaned.

Cohen tweeted a denial hours after this story was published.

Cohen’s spokesman, Lanny Davis, reiterated his client’s denials about Prague in a phone interview this week.

Cohen “has said one million times he was never in Prague,” Davis said. “One million and one times. He’s never been to Prague. … He’s never been to the Czech Republic.”

“I hear #Prague #Czech Republic is beautiful in the summertime,” Cohen tweeted. “I wouldn’t know as I have never been. #Mueller knows everything!”

Contradicting that - "never been" - remark, Michael Cohen's own (not under penalty of perjury remarks) are -

Say you are traveling to Israel the to an Islamic country. You would ask Israel not to stamp your passport.

Czech Republic is part of the Schengen district of several EU countries, and passports are not stamped when entering /leaving each country.

I went on a Scandanavian cruise this summer, including a day in Berlin, and our passports were only stamped when we first arrived in Europe, in the airport in Zurich.

The far right wing white supremacists have changed the "open borders" term to mean "hey, anyone can come in from anywhere" which is complete nonsense.

Open borders means if you can get into an EU member country(with a valid visa, passport), then you can travel throughout the EU freely.
