I use the Firefox extension, web archives, to open links like this up in archive.is. The extension is available on mobile as well

I’m curious what the sentencing for these crimes might look like. I haven’t seen a single report yet of the guideline prison terms for anything Trump is facing. And, as serious as this all sounds, without meaningful risk, it’s all fairly pointless.

Weird, saw a couple clips about the guidelines and he’s looking at 120+ months for the documents case. Whichever case finishes first will certainly add to his sentence as he won’t be a “first time offender”

It was actually dumb. They opened themselves up to make it easier to indict them. Dummies
