> [@susan](#): > > Neither you nor I could prove it easily, but I was in the Czech Republic a few years ago. I was in Vienna and paid cash for a train ticket to Brno. I had a lovely outdoor lunch, which I paid for in Euro (despite the official currency being koruna), as I also paid admission to a Capuchin crypt. I had no electronics with me and collected no receipts. I took no photos. I spent several hours walking around and chatting with strangers who could have been my contact, had I had a contact. I then took the train to Bratislava, Slovakia for coffee and a walk; then back to Vienna by dinner. Thanks for the feedback. I haven’t spent enough time in Europe to know how the EU works. If cell phone pings are enough to track his potential movements, then probably collaborating evidence can be found if enough governments cared to be involved. I’m assuming Cohen is a lazy American, that may have bothered to do some elementary spy evasion stuff, but probably couldn’t be bothered to really cover his tracks. ---

Doubt that Cohen, and big and little Don think there is anything wrong with enlisting the help of a hostile foreign government to influence an election. Business as usual. This is how they think. This is how they have operated all their lives. Bribes, graft and threats. This is normal and why Trump is so angry. Trump’s confused though, because he’s just a moron. ---

Memes are usually over/under my head. I’m just screwing around to pass the time until Mueller lowers the boom on Der Trumpster. ---

I don’t understand this side-story but, for the record, I am also not Susan. And, I’ll further say, Susan is apparently not Spartacus. The hell with that lady. If the Romans want her, the Romans can have her! ---

I keep checking this thread, assuming there’s been a new development in The Mueller Investigation Results and Outcomes\*… sigh. Susan, can you call up Bob Mueller and tell him he needs to pull off some super spy stuff, or better yet, jail some more people so we can get some content in here? \*Sound familiar? It’s the name of the thread! ---

Sure, you can call him. You can beg, plead and implore him. Tattoo it on your butt and stand naked outside his house in the snow, for all the difference it will make. ---
