When @benjaminwittes and I agree...
I'll add two bits to his reasons for caution.
1) Sources SOUND like they may be the ones who gave Mueller evidence. In which case it doesn't even sound like they brought confirmation.https://twitter.com/benjaminwittes/status/985150023703912448 …

Congress also seems to know much much less than Mueller does about quite a lot of things. I think its safe to be cautious (as with any reporting), but I'd also caution against making assumptions about what Mueller hasn't confirmed.
-
I'll repeat, again, that if Mueller received this information last year, then his subsequent known behavior is inconsistent with him having confirmed it.
-
(Actual question here because I don't know legal rules), Could you not run parallel investigations? SDNY seems focused on Cohen in a way completely unrelated to Mueller (unlike all current indictments).
-
Absolutely, and a lot of reason to imagine they might charge Cohen w/taxi fraud and the hush money stuff, and try to flip him with it.
-
So wouldn't Prague fall under Mueller, not be part of what was handed off? We have no idea what Mueller is doing with Cohen yet if anything. That story would be the 1st we've heard of Cohen+Mueller at all outside general dossier investigating.
-
No. There's the Trump Tower deal, which we know is in DC, w/Felix Sater.

Will be interesting to see if Cohen or a Cohen spox denies the story this weekend.
-
Yeah, I think that's a key point, and he hasn't yet. Then again, he's got entirely different things to be worried about this weekend, like smoking cigars with his mob buddies.

Knowing Mueller & Carr... No one would actually know until they are ready to let you know, when they want you to know..

Speaking from a mandate perspective, would this bit re: dossier be in Mueller's mandate, but the other Cohen instances (e.g. stormy) not? Hence the SDNY referral on the latter but not the former?
