Keep in mind that the Supreme Court has already ruled 9-0 that a sitting president can be compelled to defend a civil lawsuit against him, and participate in discovery (i.e., having his deposition taken). So I expect this to be a fit subject for discussion on the political talk shows: How much time would a President Trump have to spend going to court hearings, being deposed, and assisting his attorneys in defending himself against lawsuits?

Some have postulated that even though it is, right now, a civil suit, it could become a RICO case, in which case he stands accused of a felony.

Hey Donnie, don't burn your emails, buddy. The FBI wants to see them.
