Can anyone point out just what part of the dossier was debunked?

I keep hearing some talking heads allude to this but they never say which parts were "debunked."

I remember something about a meeting of Trump operatives with a Russian agent allegedly taking place in some foreign country on a certain date. That was supposedly debunked because the parties where somewhere else at that time or some passport did not show they had been in that country. However, it was pointed out that the party in question was is a place from which he could have traveled without having to show passport or Visa. (I don't it all together but I remember that it was said that it still had not been proved that the alleged meeting did not take place on another date.)

Any other thing in the dossier that has definitely been debunked?

2. I Seem to remember something about a meeting in Prague

Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen?, had been reported to be in attendance.

He tweeted a picture of his passport claiming there were no stamps for Prague and that he'd never been to the place.

Discussion ensued:

Report of the meeting was simply wrong?
Case of mistaken identity?
Cohen wasn't being transparent given Prague is in Schengen zone and no visas/passport stamps required?

And there's no passport control between EU countries. Northern Italy to Prague is 1-2 hours by car; it's 3 hours by train from Rome to Prague. Daytrip. Pay cash, no record.

His story smells like bullshit.

Let's see what the GPS on his phone/social media etc. has to say about whether he was in Prague.

I don't even hear the Dems in either the House or the Senate doing this. But Trump and GOP keep crying loudly about "fake news."

Really disappointed in our Dems for not fighting back against the "fake news" meme. It would be so easy to just say, "No, it's not fake news and here is proof...."
