Cohen said he hasn't been to Prague, but the Steele Dossier said he was or at least his phone was.
Ken Dilanian of course is spinning it that the Russia collusion narrative collapsed today. /eyeroll

(60,010 posts)Remember the results of the FBI raid on Cohen's office turned up a desk drawer of cell phones.
No one ever heard of a burner phone??? I find it interesting that has not been mentioned.
Also interesting that Don Jr. supposedly speaks Czech fluently, since his mom and her parents are from there, and Jr. visited there to see the GParents a lot in his younger days.
Easy enough to hand him a burner to use while there, easy enough for him to fly private jet there, or anywhere in Europe close by and hop over to Prague.

(129,442 posts)But that whole thing is still up in the air. The issue is that passports and/or visas are not required when traveling between EU countries so at least that type of record would be nonexistent...

(10,048 posts)He took out a personal HELOC without telling his wife to pay off Stormy for Trump. Perhaps he leant his passport/ID/phone to someone...or just allowed someone to say they were him in Prague to get info?
Or perhaps that part of the dossier is inaccurate?
Truth is, much of the dossier has been found accurate. Opposition research often turns up things that later turn out not to be true. One hopes that by paying an expert for such an investigation they get enough real dirt to use to their advantage.

(56,829 posts)would be wrapped up by mid February. He stood by that story for weeks, I believe. Not sure if he's recanted on it yet

(12,344 posts)Steele himself said he estimated only it was 75 to 80% accurate. But they made a big deal out of that particular claim. That distracts from the many other claims that, if true, would constitute collusion by themselves. Maybe that was the point. Find something minor but provably false and just dispute that one fact.
