so let me review a few things today
1: The DOW goes down 600 on christmas eve, up 1000 yesterday, down 600 this morning, up 800 this afternoon. I am becoming increasingly convinced that the stock software needs to regulated tighter, just so we can make sense of it all
https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/investigations/article219016820.html2: McClatchyDC posts the exact same allegation that Michael Cohen was in Prague that they claimed to have a scoop from inside Mueller's team, reviving their totally evidence-free report from anonymous sources, claiming a leak from a guy who never leaks, flying in the face of all the evidence we do have that he wasn't there. The only new claim here is that they open up that their tip from last year when they first posted the story claimed it was a cell phone signal intercept in prague of cohen's phone, and that Mueller has it. Like before, no other media verifies or corroborates this story, its only McClatchy. And then it gets silly. McClatchy argues in their own article that Cohen hasn't directly contradicted the Prague story
since cooperating with Mueller, only beforehand, and that when Lanny Davis directly refuted it he wasn't technically Cohen's lawyer anymore and not necessarily privy to his deals with Mueller. So they rationalize that Cohen could be admitting this to Mueller and keeping it secret from the media and that's why Mueller isn't going after him for lying like he did vs Manafort. And after McClatchy posts this fucking retarded article, Cohen responds by tweeting that he was never in Prague and Mueller knows everything;

I mean holy fuck how retarded can he be. Did he even reach out to Cohen for comment?
if anyone ever says again that McClatchy is a credible organization with a good track record, I'm going to point out they didn't even ask Cohen for comment in this story. There's not a mention of it. They only list:
Quote
Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller’s office, declined to comment about the electronic evidence.
(Lanny) Davis, a longtime Democratic political operative, declined to comment about the new foreign intelligence.
Cohen was clearly inclined to respond on twitter and explicitly say "NO" 3 times in a row, and they listed the people they reached out for comment to and it didn't include Cohen, so I'm going to assume that these reporters are total shitbags
also they haven't updated/retracted their story yet even after Cohen commented, as of my post at least;
UPDATED 4 HOURS 19 MINUTES AGO
