re: Cell tower ping puts Cohen in Prague in 2016

quote:

---

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.

Notice that? Among Russians. No Cohen on the wiretap. No Trump. No Flynn. No Manafort. Just two random Russians making claims over a wide open telephone line they KNEW were being listened to by pretty much every western intel agency out there. Also, the sources didn't tell McClatchy who these Russians were (kinda important). Why not?

This reminds me of the "Kushner back channel" story that came out in early 2017. Remember that? (I believe it was McClatchy that reported that too). They claimed CIA had wiretaps proving Kushner was seeking a back channel with Russians to talk in a secure Russian facility. Only problem is they didn't have Kushner himself on the wiretaps. They had two RUSSIANS discussing it among themselves.

If they had any damning wiretaps of Trump's people and Russians, they would have leaked a long time ago. They leaked Flynn's totally innocuous call with Kislyak, so they would certainly release these.

And, finally, why has Cohen simply not admitted to it? He is out in the press bashing Trump any chance he gets. He has already pleaded guilty to more serious crimes (going to Prague is not a crime). Wouldn't he just fess up by now if it were true? I mean if he wants to hurt Trump this is his chance.
