Prague Summer Yet Again

Trump fixer Michael Cohen's cell phone was pinging cell towers in Prague in the summer of 2016? Lock 'em up!

This is interesting:

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.

We can flashback to that report and this Jake Tapper follow-up:

CNN’s Jake Tapper reported Wednesday morning that intelligence officials looked into allegations from an explosive unsubstantiated memo that Trump lawyer Michael Cohen visited Prague in late August to meet with Russian officials, and found that it was a different Michael Cohen who visited the city.

Cohen strongly denied the charges Tuesday, saying that he had never been to Prague. The Washingtonian reported that two sources at the University of Southern California confirmed that Cohen was in Los Angeles at the time he was supposed to have been in Europe.

Tapper seemingly confirmed Cohen’s story. “People tried to run that down and concluded it was a different Michael Cohen. It was a Michael Cohen with a passport from another country, same birth year, different birth date,” he said.

Eventually Cohen showed his passport to Buzzfeed with no relevant entries to Europe, prompting me to wonder whether he has two passports (not unheard of!).

And here we go again.

I found this rather amusing, specially in light of the recent NYT op-ed about the "inevitable" POTUS impeachment. (Oh, googling it for a link shows me Chuck Todd, Martha Radditz, and a host of others quoted saying it as well! Imagine that---same story, different propagandists.)
From Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of GHWB by John Meacham:

On the evening of Saturday, December 6, 1941, Claude Fuesse (Andover headmaster during GHWB's student days) and his wife were guests at a dinner party in Boston. Over cigars, a man Fuesse recalled as "a high-ranking officer in the Navy" spoke confidentially of American superiority in the Pacific. "It would be impossible for the Japanese to accomplish anything in the Pacific," the officer said. The others in the room--A Harvard Law School professor, an industrialist, and the host, "a well-informed attorney, agreed."

And we know the rest of that story.
I'm guessing they were all "well informed" readers of NYT.

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2018/12/was-michael-cohen-in-prague-in-2016-after-all.php

from above:

Was Cohen in Prague in the summer of 2016, after all? I don’t know. However, Cohen, who has turned decisively against Trump, still insists he wasn’t in Prague. Today, he tweeted:

I hear #Prague #CzechRepublic is beautiful in the summertime. I wouldn’t know as I have never been. #Mueller knows everything!

The last sentence of the tweet seems telling. As Chuck Ross points out, Cohen has pleaded guilty not just to supposed campaign finance violations, but also to lying to Congress about efforts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. However, Cohen did not admit to lying to Congress when he denied claims made in the Steele dossier.

The false 'Cohen in Prague' claim was a dangerous mistake by the coup plotters.

It ties the phony dossier to the Obama administration .... spying on & unmasking American citizens.

They were searching for gotcha dirt on 'Michael Cohen' & got the wrong one.

From the prev thread,
Posted by: daddy | December 28, 2018 at 03:19 AM
daddy links to a story about Judith Curry.
"In her latest paper, Ms. Curry found that the current rising sea levels are not abnormal, nor can they be pinned on human-caused climate change, arguing that the oceans have been on a “slow creep” for the last 150 years—before the post-1950 climb in carbon-dioxide emissions."

On another blog, some years ago, a troll insisted that the "1950 climb" was not the key date. Apparently it is taken as fact in many warmist circles that human caused emissions in the 1890s was sufficient to launch global warming. I was flabbergasted. Human populations and CO2 output at that time were a mere shadow of today.

This CTH link explains what Democrats were doing in our intel. agencies - https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/12/15/the-fisa-conundrum/

"Someone inside the FBI was giving FISA-702 search results on U.S. individuals to a private entity that had nothing to do with government. Those 702 (American Citizen) results were not “minimized” and exposed the private data of the American citizen(s).
In addition, NSA Director Mike Rogers, who is also in charge of Cyber Command, discovered people within the intelligence community were doing “searches” of the NSA and FBI database that were returning information (a non-compliant rate of 85%), that had nothing to do with “Foreign Individuals”."

Obviously Democrat operatives must have looked into "Michael Cohen" & got the wrong guy. They then fed the info to Christopher Steele (a foreigner) who then sent the info BACK in the 'dossier', as if he found out this info on his own.

We know what legitimate work was not getting done:

Investigating the many tips about the Parkland shooter before his rampage

Investigating the long list of crimes of the Awans, or the massive security breaches they caused/exploited

Investigating the Las Vegas concert shooting

etc etc etc

The blood of hundreds of innocent citizens is on their hands, because the FBI chose to spy on political opponents rather than do their actual jobs.

Jeff Sessions had no appetite for cleaning house beyond a few high level firings and resignations. In fact the only time he moved rapidly on anything was to defend the apolitical nature of the bureau when DJT attacked it. Plenty of people knew what they were doing was either illegal or highly partisan yet it still got done.

Remember all the rumors we heard about an internal revolt about this? What a hot steaming pile that was.

[Momto2]

I found this in the book review comment section of Good Reads - the out-of-control hatred of our President is ridiculous. Perhaps it is slowly beginning to turn-off even non-supporters like this person.

I also was not pleased that in this book, and recent others is that the theme and characters are pointedly aligned to this current dysfunctional White House administration. I am growing weary of all the new historical novels that make anti-Trump statements without using his name. (And, I am no fan of the 45th American President). In this tale, I read over and over how in the 1920s the KKK expanded into the north because of the hatred against people who deemed not “truly” American. Their motto was “America First.” Sound familiar? I am aware that these historical connections need to be repeated in words to serve as reminders of what can happen when politics run amok. But, after finding this Trump-metaphor linking trend so often I, as a reader and a reviewer, need a breather from political teachable moments in my fiction.

Plenty of people knew what they were doing was either illegal or highly partisan yet it still got done.

Again, for perspective: Watergate was a two-bit burglary that exposed some 'dirty tricks' during the campaign of '72. By May of '73 the Senate was holding nationally televised hearings. By May of '74 seven of Nixon's former aides had been indicted for conspiracy, lying to the FBI, etc. Nixon himself had resigned by August '74, midway into the 2nd year of his presidency.

Yet here we are at the end of the 2nd year of Trump's presidency, and the only indictments have been of associates of Trump; none of the Obama conspirators have been indicted. Congressional hearings have been ignored or ridiculed by the media. Allegedly there are other investigations, and we get told the wheels of justice turn slowly, but somehow when Republicans are accused they turn a lot faster.

Thanks MM.

Seriously, I never ever mean to post something hurtful to you, but my sense of humor has been getting me in trouble with girls since I was about 12.

The reason you and I go at it so often is that you prefer to focus on all the things Trump is doing at great risk and expense to himself, almost all of which are admirable things and worthy of praise by me and you both. You are deeply invested in Trump the Man. And as an Optimist, that makes sense for you.

As a Pessimist, I tend to look at the vast forces arrayed against MAGA and while I know from history how one man can sometimes reverse the direction of a people, it is rare and after two years it seems the tide is still flowing against him. As a "control guy", it does frustrate me when some action taken or not taken seems counterproductive to me, though I have always agreed that I know but a fraction of what they know and what their strategy is.

There is no doubt at all that you and I both hope for exactly the same outcome. You retain Hope for that and love for the one man attempting to make it happen. And I am a grumpy pessimist who thinks we waited too long and are not likely to achieve a good outcome short of some huge conflagration. Simply stated, even if Trump had done, or does in the future, every single thing I nag about, I fear we are too late. Demographics and GroupThink are going to swamp our boat.

I wish Trump had been RR's VP, and we might have tipped this ball in flight while there was time to change the trajectory.

My hope is that we will have confidence to withstand this.

Best to resign yourself to that reality.

pretty much where I'm at ... we'll need a trove released by our own Mitrokhin to figure out all the crimes. the bad thing about it all is that the coup plotters are still out there, unpunished, plotting for 2020.

Perhaps I am missing the context of the Philly journalist story, MM2, but the US Supreme Court in King v. Burwell upheld ObamaCare.

The article MM posted was written in 2014.

(("Richard Nixon won re-election by a landslide in 1972. Besides 3 electoral votes from Washington, DC, George McGovern won electoral votes from only 1 state."))

I remember my son being surprised by that.
Only knowing negative, negative, negative about Nixon from school....& then he saw an election map. He couldn't believe it. It made him realize that maybe there was more to Nixon than was being presented.

You got it, TC. One of the most remarkable electoral accomplishments of Ronaldus Maximus is that he won Massachusetts. Twice. Not to mention New York.

I saw Richard Nixon who visited troops and familis in West Berlin in 1969. One of 3 presidents I have seen personall.

The other two were W and President Trump.
