While we've been debating about whether Michael Cohen was in Prague, Mueller has been providing evidence about the people who performed the function in the information operation that the Steele dossier alleges Cohen performed.

McClatchy continues to chase the Michael Cohen in Prague story, as if that -- and not abundant other, corroborated evidence -- is the only thing that can prove a Trump conspiracy with Russia.

Merry Christmas!

Among the more trollish arguments in Yevgeniy Prigozhin's latest troll argument in defense of his troll attack on the 2016 election is that Prigozhin has to get all the discovery turned over to Concord's lawyers because only he can tell whether he's Putin's boss, or his chef.

Yesterday, former SSCI staffer James Wolfe got sentenced to 2 months in prison for lying to the FBI about his contacts with journalists. The case and that sentence may have ramifications well beyond his own case.

A lot of people are reading William Barr's memo on why an imaginary Mueller investigation that has nothing in common with the real one is improper and worrying that he'll tamper with the Mueller probe. But given the actual facts, the memo can be used to make the case for impeachment.

When you remember that Rob Kelner is the attorney representing Flynn when he submitted FARA filings that lied about his ties to Turkey, yesterday's sentencing hearing looks different.

At Judge Emmet Sullivan's strong suggestion, Mike Flynn is delaying his sentencing. But it's not clear what that will accomplish for him.

If the redactions the document released last night are any indication, the most sensitive investigative detail in Flynn's 302 -- the thing the government cared most about hiding -- is what Flynn said about that December 1 meeting where Jared asked to set up a back channel of communication with Russia. 

With his cute trick in his sentencing memo, Flynn just provided some of the most damning details about the Mueller investigation yet. Flynn lied to hide Trump's personal involvement in telling the Russians to hold off on responding to Obama's sanctions. And when the FBI investigated those lies, Trump fired the FBI Director to try to end that investigation.
