New York (CNN) If things don't go Donald Trump's way on Election Day, the President may face more serious matters than how to pack up the West Wing.

Without some of the protections afforded him by the presidency, Trump will become vulnerable to multiple investigations looking into possible fraud in his financial business dealings as a private citizen -- both as an individual and through his company. He faces defamation lawsuits sparked by his denials of accusations made by women who have alleged he assaulted them, including E. Jean Carroll, the former magazine columnist who has accused him of rape. And then there are claims he corrupted the presidency for his personal profits.

As President, Trump has been able to block and delay several of these investigations and lawsuits -- including a yearlong fight over a subpoena for his tax returns -- in part because of his official position. Many of those matters have wound through the courts and will come to a head whether he is reelected or not.

1. Which is why he's openly talking

About leaving the country if he loses. My guess? Russia, and he “pays off” his debts and protection with sensitive, classified information.

2. He can't rely on McConnell to help him.

He'll be too worried about saving his own ass.

3. shithole and family will jump on . ..

Airforce One to an undisclosed country where the USA can't extradite.

4. LEGAL? That's the least of his worries. The Russians are going to snuff out all of 'em.

Better watch out who poaches your eggs their tRumpy boy! That may not be paprika on top.

10. After he loses, he'll croak between election day and inauguration

That's my thinking.
His wife and spawn will then face the music.

11. I hope they look into the Waterbury Secrets

It's horrendous.

12. He will never face a Federal charge for crimes committed in office or before being President.

He will resign, and Pence will grant him a blanket pardon. State charges are a different matter, New York really wants his hide on the barn wall. It would only take a ten year conviction for Trump to serve life.

13. And don't forget civil litigation

Almost any crime can also constitute grounds for a civil case. A pardon does nothing to eliminate federal or state civil liability. Civil litigation can be an effective add-on to or substitute for criminal prosecution.

I guess Rudy G would be his counsel of choice?
