Michael Cohen has repeatedly denied that he’s even been to Prague, an allegation that originated the so-called “Steele dossier.” He did so again on Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee.

The correct question: “Has any of your phones ever been to Prague ?”
Or… perhaps the meeting wasn’t technically in Prague. The thing is though… parsing on this question, if proven to be basically false even if technically accurate, will severely undermine his testimony on other matters.
patients my dear, the best is yet to come. lol lol

The most interesting thing out of this hearing so far has been the apparent limits of Cohen’s knowledge & involvement in the conspiracy with Russia.
I really wonder whether his denial of traveling to Prague will turn out to be true. I don’t assume the Steele dossier is entirely true, but it’s got a healthy gold-to-trash ratio.
Furthermore, it might be true that he never went to Prague but was still active in coordination between the Trump campaign and Putin, and therefore did meet in-person with a Russian agent in some Eurozone country. If that turns out to be true, it could really undermine all his statements about having no direct knowledge of collusion.
