US official: Michael Cohen WAS in Prague.

Not the one who denied going there and displayed his passport cover. A DIFFERENT Michael Cohen.

On CNN on Wednesday, Jake Tapper reported that it was a different Michael Cohen who was in Prague last August. Which one and what his connection — if any — might be to Mr. Trump was left unsaid.

ON EDIT:

NY State bar association lists 10 Michael Cohens registered as attorneys in the US, including 5 in the NYC area.

And if it was "game over" because of this issue -- that our intelligence knew about -- then why did they give the two page summary to Obama and DT?

ON EDIT: There are 98 listings for Michael Cohen in NYC in white pages.com. So it is possible that DT is connected with more than one Michael Cohen.

We know Der Drumpenfuhrer is fond of taking on fake names to impersonate others. Did he use this same ruse to disguise who actually met with the Russians
knowing that the real Michael Cohen could knock the claim down and possibly spike the accusation? Curiouser and curiouser.

I have a rather uncommon last name.

He actually added me on his Facebook list, although I don't really communicate with him.

He's--well how should I say this--unrefined? Likes to post selfies of his dragon neck tattoo and half drank bottles of beer and pointless memes. Pretty sure he voted for Trump, too.

But needless to say, I'm sort of glad he exists. He's basically the polar opposite of me, which means I'm still very much unique, even if there's someone who shares my name.

and many more across the country. Cohen is the most common Jewish surname in the US. So it is possible more than one Michael Cohen is connected with DT.
