12. "Prepared" to indict?
Wed Oct 31, 2018, 03:33 PM
Oct 2018

What does that mean? Five to six months elapsed from the time of their indictment draft until his resignation. Did the prosecutors sit on this for that period of time and use it as incentive for Nixon to resign? What did the grand jury do all of this time waiting for him to resign? Would someone kindly explain this in layman's terms?
