He said, "There were partisans in Congress and on the special counsel's staff who would have liked to see Nixon indicted after the resignation — or at least believed that the pardon was premature."
他說：“在國會和特別顧問的工作人員中，有一些人希望看到尼克松在辭職后被起訴——或者至少認為赦免還為時過早。”
Farrell noted that Nixon was so worried about his legal trouble that it affected his health.
