Dershowitz said he believes that a lot of Mueller’s cases in this Russia probe are based on false statement prosecutions (perjury traps) and it demonstrates a weakness in his substantive findings. He argued that these are crimes that occurred as a result of his appointment and were not present beforehand, and thus it raises questions about the role of special prosecutors creating crimes or creating opportunities for crimes to be committed.
