mcclatchy had published a story saying that the mueller team had evidence that michael cohen had, in fact, travelled to prague, which would appear to buttress an allegation in the christopher steele dossier that cohen had gone to prague to meet with russians about the election interference campaign. cohen has denied that that happened but mcclatchy published this piece in april saying that mueller had evidence that it did happen. after that report, we got a very -- at that point i think unprecedented statement from the spokesman for the special counsel. not directly disputing the mcclatchy story but giving a sort of general warning to the press that there had been lots of inaccuracies out there and every journalist should be very careful about their sourcing. "many stories about our investigation have been inaccurate. be very cautious and dig into what they claim before reporting on." that was last april from the special counsel's office. then six months later in october after some strange reporting that somebody was maybe trying to shop false sexual harassment allegations about robe

mcclatchy deals with the explanations people use for where capitalism comes from and she's overwhelmingly persuasive in knocking them down. i'm less than 100 percent bought in to her explanation but it's better than almost anybody else's which was that this works, it's the way we talk about ourselves, the way we talk about the world around us, rhetoric . and for all of human history, certainly almost all of western european history, innovation was considered a sin because our economics was dominated by guilds, the monarchy which took a bit off the guilds ended by the church which also took atake. the established powers, the establishment of guilds , nobility and church did not like any of the goobers of europe. innovation was considered a sin, and then for weird bottom-up reasons, this bourgeois thing starts to emerge where innovation is celebrated, where all of a sudden the idea that the fruits of your labor belong to you gets out of the bottle and it only happens in england. and it happened in england but england is weird. there have been places that have had innovation before, thechine

mcclatchy reporting that cohen's cell phone was detected near prague in the summer of 2016 supportingtly with russian officials there. cohen tweeted a denial saying, quote: i hear prague, czech republic, is woolf in the summertime. i won't know as i have never been. mueller knows everything. we're back with prosecutor james trusty. james, you were so good, we had to bring you back. >> how you been, charles? [laughter] charles: what do you make of this? this saga, particularly as it pertains to michael cohen, it's just, it's just -- you know, no one knows what to believe anymore. i doubt very many americans believe much with respect to cohen, but how does this change, maybe, the dynamics of the mueller investigation? >> well, i'll tell you, you're putting your finger right on the problem which is mr. cohen, everything about mr. cohen from that sentencing memo that was filed in manhattan the other day screams liar. so he's not a particularly reliable source for anything. i think it's interesting that he did not get credit under a 5k motion which is the typical vehicle for cooperation. t

did goes back to things like michael cohen was in prague and mcclatchy is standing by that story. buzzfeed is standing by this and ultimately we're going to know. because there's going to be public hearings and there should be and that raises a question of whether michael cohen will be able to testify about this particular thing or whether it's barred as a russia-related thing that he can't talk about in his public life. >> all part of the string of these sort of unmatchable exclusives that news outlites have had. don, what does this mean for congressional inquiry? the fact that this landed an is now being scrutinized? >> there has to be a hearing. and part of why there has to be a hearing is from a public relations standpoint. so many democrats, including members of congress, who probably should have been more careful, took a victory lap. we were waving about the flag and it was about a good 18 hours, i would explain, though, and it's not over. the is special counsel was particularly narrow. he did not say what details were false. perhaps buzzfeed missed a time or -- there's a lo
