The debunked Steele Dossier was the driving force behind the special counsel investigation into the Trump administration. Herr Mueller, for all his work, has a few process crimes and a lot of press but nothing relating to why he was appointed. So, is it a big deal that Clinton Family fixer Lanny Davis just hollowed out the dossier and left it to rot at the bottom of the Potomac?
None of this is news to me but one of the key pieces of supposed evidence in the dossier was a trip to Prague. The dossier claims Mr. Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, went to Prague in 2016. He was there to pay off Russian hackers, or so the story goes.
Someone named Michael Cohen probably went to Prague in 2016 it just wasn’t Donald Trump’s Michael Cohen. A fact that Lanny Davis, Mr. Cohen’s lawyer assures us is true.
Lanny Davis, a lawyer-turned-adviser for Cohen, did not skip a beat when asked by MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt about the dossier’s Prague allegation.
“Did that trip ever happen?” Hunt asked Davis, a Democratic attorney who is close to the Clintons.
“No. No. Everybody, America, we all love Kasie’s show. No, no Prague, ever, never,” an emphatic Davis replied.
If he wasn’t there he didn’t pay off Russians for Trump.
Russia Russia Russia
The Collusion narrative hinges on many ridiculous notions. But buying access to Clinton’s hacked emails is key. Paying Russians to gain access, or to also place ads on Facebook (that did nothing) would have at least helped the collision cause. No such luck. Didn’t happen.
It’s been common knowledge for some time that Cohen’s passport shows no travel to Prague, ever. Watchers of CNN or MSNBC won’t know that. Nor will they care. Like David Scannell, the law or the facts are no barrier in pursuit of political destruction. It’s what you do.
Even when a longtime Clinton ally tells the world, it didn’t happen.
