Re: news of Cohen's phone ping in Prague; FBI seized 16 of Cohen's phones in April.

[fleur-de-lisa]

Let's not forget that Michael Cohen was known to have many cell phones and other devices. This article from April 2018 states that the FBI seized over a dozen of his mobile phones:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/michael-cohen-fbi-raid-trump-lawyer-mobile-phones-seized-home-office-latest-a8324966.html

As many as 16 mobile phones were seized by the FBI when agents raided Michael Cohen’s home, office and hotel, a prosecutor has revealed.

Thomas McKay, who is leading the criminal investigation of Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, told a judge the law enforcement agency was on track to hand over copies of all seized materials to Mr Cohen’s lawyers by 11 May.

He said the FBI had already turned over the contents of four phones and an iPad, and that the agency had “about a dozen left”, according to the New York Post.

What does this mean? I have no fucking clue. Maybe Cohen had an accomplice?

1. Where, if anyone knows, does the Steele document say exactly where the meeting was

alleged to be?

If that is the dossier.

9. Thanks, all it says is in Prague. That could easily be outside of city limits I suppose.

It makes NO sense for cohen to lie about this now especially when he adds that Mueller knows, because he probably does.

So my thought is

a. he was there but it was outside the city

or

b. it happened, and someone else had his phone like manafort

Because while cohen would lie how can he when he knows Mueller knows?

10. +1, most people mention a major city proper vs outlier communities when talking about cities. It ...

... sounds like this is semantics and Cohen isn't lying but at most splitting hairs.

[Eliot Rosewater]

11. But why would he go out of his way to do this if he knows Mueller knows?

That makes no sense.

I know he would lie about anything, but I have a feeling he is not lying about this but knows who was there, maybe?

When he says "Mueller knows all", he is NOT going to say that if he knows he could be taken down for lying, right? Or is he waiting on a pardon?

IMAGINE if this was about democrats, we would NEVER get to the point of dozens of traitors, liars, criminals like we are now. a private server alone was enough reason.

Saying you can keep your doctor, enough reason. That was not a lie by the way.

People who did not have health insurance did not have doctors.

14. Cohen just told two people on Twitter he's never been in the Czech Republic ever. He told the

WSJ last year he went to Prague in 2001 or 2002.

15. Interesting. Is he done with sentencing, can Mueller indict him again on something else?

Same thing for Manafort.

I cant keep track.

I am getting a headache. There are so many crimes, criminals, acts of treason and obstruction and money laundering and I am sure murder that we cant keep track. If just ONE of these were true of any democrat the entire country would SHUT DOWN until that person was gone.

16. I think they're all going nuts, someone is going to source him up on the WSJ account if its written

[Dennis Donovan]

2. I'm guessing they don't physically need phones at this point...

They probably have all they need via records and surveillance?

3. Accomplice ...

Cohen's wife? trump made a veiled reference to her when attacking Cohen. Crooks of a feather, flock together.

8. And that explains Cohens lies

Why would he not come clean? He is protecting someone else.

4. Old News I believe

By now they have gotten all the info they can. One, and perhaps the only, reason to have so many phones is to avoid detection. Mueller probably knows if Cohen was successful

[Ellipsis]

5. He lent one of his phones out I'd bet.

[babylonsister]

12. I'm hoping Kushner

just because I want to see that smarmy bastid caught up in this somehow. I'm sure he is.

[5X]

6. I suspect cohen handled trump's phones for him.

In light of cohen's latest tweet, maybe trump was the one in Praque.

[wishstar]

13. Maybe not Trump Sr., but one of the Trump kids

Jared and Ivanka traveled overseas to eastern Europe in summer of 2016, don't know about the others
