Somebody's talking?

Who broke the story about Cohen being in Prague in summer of 2016? I doubt that the source was Cohen or it would have already come out.

Is Flynn exposing more information to get a better deal? The Judge at his sentencing may have scared the information out of him?

Also, Trump would not make a trip to the war zone unless he needed a really huge distraction. He must know something big is about to break? The lies that he tells are guaranteed to get reported and are always successful at distracting from a bigger story.

The shit is getting very, very deep for The trump.

Letting people know how much he has gotten from Cohen. While the ping wouldn't have come from Cohen, the follow up questions might have been huge for the investigation. It goes to the cornerstone of the Mueller investigation.

6. I thought the article said it was 4 separate foreign government's intelligence communities?

Let me go back and reread it.


Here is what I was thinking of:

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.

So, not Cohen or from the Muller team. It's four people who are connected to foreign intelligence communities.

at the end of the Obama Administration. Key pieces of evidence and documents dealing with the Trump commission of betrayal of the USA were given to various Agencies and other investigative Persons for safe keeping. Knowing full well that once Trump was sworn in,these documents and other info would go missing.
