Fresh evidence that Michael Cohen was in Prague after all

A mobile phone traced to President Donald Trump’s former lawyer and “fixer” Michael Cohen briefly sent signals ricocheting off cell towers in the Prague area in late summer 2016, at the height of the presidential campaign, leaving an electronic record to support claims that Cohen met secretly there with Russian officials, four people with knowledge of the matter say.

During the same period of late August or early September, electronic eavesdropping by an Eastern European intelligence agency picked up a conversation among Russians, one of whom remarked that Cohen was in Prague, two people familiar with the incident said.

There are two things that are interesting about this. First, if it’s true, it’s a huge shot-in-the-arm for the credibility of the entire Steele dossier, where this allegation originated. Second, it means that special counsel Robert Mueller knows about all this and decided to keep it closely held instead of using it in the charge sheet against Cohen.

But why would Mueller want to keep it secret? Well, the alleged purpose of Cohen’s trip to Prague was to visit with Russian intelligence folks in order to come up with a plan for making cash payments to the hackers who were working with Team Trump to take down Hillary Clinton. Even for Mitch McConnell, I assume this would be considered an impeachable offense, and it’s the kind of thing you’d really want to nail down solidly before you make it public. What’s more, I assume—again, if this is true—that Cohen turned over names and dates and Mueller might want some time to see if he can interview any of the people Cohen talked with. Who knows? Maybe one of them will take a flight that makes a refueling stop in Canada someday.

To get Trump impeached will take a lot more than "four people spoke with McClatchy on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of information shared by their foreign intelligence connections. Each obtained their information independently from foreign intelligence connections."

Republican Senators won't believe it until it is to their personal, political, & financial advantage to fire Trump from the Presidency. But Mueller will believe it and, if he is really as clever as he is claimed to be, Mueller will find a very legal way to make Trump miserable after he leaves the White House.

Somebody ought to remember to change the batteries on that impeachment clock.

Most Democrats can't read a clock that isn't digital.

So why are we saying tick tock when the solar powered digital impeachment clock doesn't make any sound?

Last Monday of the year has passed.

Still No Evidence.


I guess Mueller and the resident Trolls here have all blown their wads, proving themselves impotent and fruitless.

Poll: Majority want Trump to declassify documents from Russia investigations

A majority want President Trump to declassify documents pertaining to the Russia investigations, according to a new The Hill-HarrisX poll.

Fifty-nine percent of registered voters contacted for the survey said they want Trump to declassify the documents, with 14 percent saying they want the information kept secret and 27 percent not sure.

You "guess" wrong.

You are correct that there is "no evidence" Republicans will force Trump into a trial, but if Trump ever goes on trial in the Senate, Mueller has many witnesses ready to testify that Trump is a liar and a crook. More witnesses are being readied. The chief witness that Trump is an incompetent President is Trump. He has proven it many times. His incompetence might motivate Republicans in Congress to place Trump on trial. The way things are going at the White House, with the resignations because his staff think Trump is incompetent, there will certainly be more evidence between now and the election in 2020.

Now for the 3rd Calendar Year.

Too bad Trump doesn't Declassify the documents. He said he wanted to, but since Democraps are keen to keep hidden the evidence of so many of their crimes, they convinced him not to. So far.
