6. If I remember correctly, he didn't have a direct flight to Prague.

He apparently flew into a nearby country, then was driven to Prague.

As if that would fool Mueller!

a while back that stated that Mueller had evidence (photographic?) that Cohen was in Prague. However, the story has not been corroborated by other news sources.

The Dossier hasn't been disproven on anything, and there is no reason to believe this is wrong either.

Wasn't there a picture of him on the street there posted a few months ago? Of course pictures can be edited, but, I think when an intel agent takes them, they have a lot more credibility.

7. Mueller has evidence Michael Cohen traveled to Prague, report claims

Robert Mueller has evidence that Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen traveled to Prague in 2016, refuting Cohen’s claim that he never visited the Czech capital and bolstering the Christopher Steele intelligence dossier that first described the trip, McClatchy reported on Friday.

Investigators for Mueller, the special counsel in the Russia probe, have evidence Cohen entered the Czech Republic through Germany in late summer 2016, McClatchy reported, citing two unnamed sources.

The news agency said it was unclear whether Mueller’s investigators have evidence that Cohen met with a prominent Russian, as the Steele dossier claimed.

Mueller is investigating alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign. Russia has denied meddling in the election and Trump has said there was no collusion.

13. Yes. Has to do with him not needing a passport stamp to enter Germany.

The Steele Dossier revealed Cohen's trip to Prague.

He supposedly entered thru Germany thinking he would be undetected, since no passport stamp was required.

From the Hill:
This may relate also to your MvClatchy link.
Will see what else I can find.

it means campaign, and almost certainly Trump himself (who else would pick Cohen to be a go-between?) conspiracy with the Russians.

Getting the odd mention in articles, eg:

3. Was Cohen involved in the 2016 campaign?

Other than supporting Trump in a few interviews, one of which went viral, Cohen largely maintained his behind-the-scenes fixer role. But there’s the explosive accusation, vehemently denied by Cohen, that he personally met with Kremlin officials during a furtive visit to Prague in 2016. That allegation is part of the 35-page “dossier” compiled by a former British spy whose work was underwritten by Clinton and the Democratic Party and dismissed as scurrilous by the Trump team.

Omarosa's latest recording was Cohen on the Trump campaign plane in September 2016, with him calling her "my number one photographer":
