Huge development. If Michael Cohen is confirmed meeting Konstantin Kosachev in Prague, then collusion happened. As I note in the piece, “everyone knows Kosachev speaks for the Kremlin.” Another tantalizing fact: Russian hacker Yevgeniy Nikulin was also in Prague at this time.https://twitter.com/mcclatchydc/status/984927757858721793 …

What is the basis of the claim that Nikulin was in Prague at the time?

Widely reported that he was arrested there in October 2016.

Just after he came in the country. Meaning he arrived a month after Cohen is alleged to have been there.

Thanks. Didn’t see that in the reports I looked at.

It's sort of hard to track down the timeline w/o any specificity of when Cohen is supposed to have been there. I'll go see if I can find specificity of when Nikulin arrived.

I think it quite possible Nikulin's credentials do play a role in this operation, but that's different from him being the hacker that hacked the DNC.
