Let's say a women he has sexual assaulted (surely you don't think every woman he has attacked has come forward) produces credible witnesses, and sues him. Or someone sues him for fraud in his business dealings with credible evidence. (Do you think he hasn't defrauded someone who has a score to settle?)

The spectacle of a sitting president being deposed and appearing as a witness in open court would be devastating for the Trump administration. Heavens knows what kind of nasty secretes discovery might reveal. His legal team wouldn't be able to use some of the delaying tactics and destroy of evidence which was under subpoena as they have used in the past with the entire world watching.

What executive orders could Trump possibly issue that could get him out of such a Jam?
