Alan Dershowitz analyzed what he thinks is Special Counsel Robert Mueller's grand strategy in the Russia investigation, calling it the "criminalization of political differences."

"He has to go after somebody," the Harvard law professor emeritus and lifelong Democrat explained. "He can't just spend all the money and do nothing."

"If he can find little things that's going to be a victory for him," the lawyer told "Fox & Friends."

However, if Manafort's money laundering charges are all the special counsel finds, the Trump campaign is off the hook, Dershowitz said.

"They'll let him go," he continued. "Bail will be set relatively low. He's not going anywhere."

The 911 tapes from his wife that go back years behind her murder are absolutely horrifying. He beat the absolute crap out of her, times and time again. Abuse isn't a strong enough term. He brutalized her.
