4. The explanation is simple

One of his (16?) phones went on vacation without Cohen. When it got back, it got put in a drawer.

So perhaps Cohen was handing out burner phones to a small group who asked for them? When the Eastern Europeans checked the cell phone signals, they found that the phone was registered to Cohen, which is why the dossier concluded that Cohen was in Prague. Who was Cohen handing out phones to?

The idea of burner phones being handed out is on the Palmer Report.

7. Does one register a burner?

Thought the whole idea is they are not tied back to people and that’s why drug dealers use them. You buy a phone card with cash and activate the phone.

10. Maybe Cohen bought several on his credit card?

I don't know exactly what happened here. But apparently a phone was traced back to him, and it need not mean that he himself was in Prague. So who was there?

Hopefully all these details will come out in the next few months.

17. I overlooked the obvious idea

The phones weren't traced back to Cohen at all, and maybe he bought then with cash. What happened what that the FBI seized them in a raid on Cohen's office, and the tracing started there.

11. Here is an idea from the Palmer Report

This suggestion appeared late today:

"Let’s say that Michael Cohen was the guy on Team Trump who bought up a bunch of burner phones and then handed them out to whoever needed one. But because he was the world’s most inept fixer, he was buying phones in his own name and handing them out. Then, instead of destroying them like you’re supposed to, Cohen was just throwing them in a drawer. It would mean that any number of Trump-connected people were running around using phones that were registered to Cohen’s name."

14. I have to tell you what a laugh I had when I read the line "then, instead of destroying them like

you're supposed to, Cohen was just throwing them in a drawer"...

5. Yup and Cohen is letting all the rats know with the hashtag #Mueller knows everything...so keep on

lying scumbags.

8. That makes sense

Trump tells young Donnie to grab a burner phone from Mr. Fixit Cohen.

9. why was Donnie in Prague then? nt

13. No idea at all

The Steele dossier says Cohen has a secret meeting with Kremlin officials there, in August 2016. Here's the wording from the dossier:

Summary

- Kremlin insider reports TRUMP lawyer COHEN's secret meeting/s with Kremlin officials in
August 2016 was/were held in Prague

- Russian parastatal organisation Rossotrudnichestvo used as cover for this liaison and premises
in Czech capital may have been used for the meeting/s

- Pro-PUTIN leading Duma figure, KOSACHEV, reportedly involved as "plausibly deniable"
facilitator and may have participated in the August meeting/s with COHEN

Detail

1. Speaking to a compatriot and friend on 19 October 2016, a Kremlin insider provided further
details of reported clandestine meeting/s between Republican presidential candidate, Donald
TRUMP'S lawyer Michael COHEN and Kremlin representatives in August 2016. Although the
communication between them had to be cryptic for security reasons, the Kremlin insider
clearly indicated to his/her friend that the reported contact/s took place in Prague, Czech
Republic.

2. Continuing on this theme, the Kremlin insider highlighted the importance of the Russian
parastatal organisation, Rossotrudnichestvo, in this contact between TRUMP campaign
representative/s and Kremlin officials. Rossotrudnichestvo was being used as cover for this
relationship and its office in Prague may well have been used to host the COHEN / Russian
Presidential Administration (PA) meeting/s. It was considered a "plausibly deniable" vehicle
for this, whilst remaining entirely under Kremlin control.

3. The Kremlin insider went on to identify leading pro-PUTIN Duma figure, Konstantin
KOSACHEV (Head of the Foreign Relations Committee) as an important figure in the TRUMP
campaign-Kremlin liaison operation. KOSACHEV, also "plausibly deniable" being part of the
Russian legislature rather than executive, had facilitated the contact in Prague and by
implication, may have attended the meeting/s with COHEN there in August.

15. I was there a few years ago

I don't know exactly WHO they were, but there must have been a half million or more Czechs there. Don't ask me for their names. This was years ago, and I must have forgotten the names of over half of them by now.................
