1. depends on who cohen lied to. If he lied to a federal authority as part of an investigation, he will

do prison time, could lose his law license

2. This is still linking back to the same McClatchy report

Would love to see this corroborated by another source.

4. My thought exactly.

It seems links about this go back to McClatchy.

So we wait...

5. One thing to keep in mind. He said he'd NEVER been to Prague.

Which was pretty dumb, because he told the WSJ last year that he'd been there in 2001.

6. Yup. McClatchy lists two sources

[oberliner]

7. A single other news outlet corroborating this would be fantastic

[sharedvalues]

8. Yup.

Lots have hinted at the Germany->Prague trip connection, including Josh Marshall, Natasha Bertrand. We'll just have to wait.
A lot of the rest of the dossier has been corroborated.

On a slightly different note, I doubt the pee tape is real. I bet there are some sort of tapes, but if forced to bet I'd bet that the pee tape from Moscow on that date is just deza, Russian disinformation.

3. McClatchy

This is an important story of course but Newsweek here is just referring to the McClatchy report from yesterday.

I haven't yet seen other news media confirm the report. I tend to believe McClatchy stories however.
