I think probably, you know, from my perspective, the folks who say a sitting president cannot be indicted have the better of the argument that the president can't be indicted - put, you know, through a criminal trial while he is president - and that the proper way to do it is to impeach him first, remove him, and then seek criminal prosecution.

In my experience, most federal prosecutors, at every level, are seeking to make a name for themselves, and the best way to do that is by prosecuting some high-level person. While companies that are indicted almost always settle, individual defendants whose careers are at stake will often go to trial.

I will say that one of the things that hackers, of all shapes and sizes, prize the most in this world is anonymity and stealth and deniability. And by indicting them publicly, among other things, we strip them of that.

American Public Servant

John F. Kennedy

To state the facts frankly is not to despair the future nor indict the past. The prudent heir takes careful inventory of his legacies and gives a faithful accounting to those whom he owes an obligation of trust.

I have no enemies and no hatred. None of the police who monitored, arrested, and interrogated me, none of the prosecutors who indicted me, and none of the judges who judged me are my enemies.

Chinese Critic

My position is that serious and good art has always existed to help, to serve, humanity. Not to indict. I don't see how art can be called art if its purpose is to frustrate humanity.

Putting pressure on grand juries to indict in my view is un-American. A grand jury should be allowed to be fair and impartial. They shouldn't have people yelling and screaming.

American Politician

Thomas Francis Meagher

A jury of my countrymen, it is true, have found me guilty of the crime of which I stood indicted. For this I entertain not the slightest feeling of resentment towards them.

Some international law specialists compare the invasion of Iraq to the 'crimes against the peace' for which Nazi leaders were indicted at Nuremberg.

The term 'indict' is used in a legal context, especially during the stages of criminal court proceedings.

Legal Process

'Indict' often involves a grand jury, which decides whether there is enough evidence for a trial.

Grand Jury Role

To indict someone usually implies the alleged crime is serious and has been thoroughly investigated.

Serious Charges

In non-legal contexts, 'indict' means to strongly criticize or accuse someone of wrongdoing.

Metaphorical Use

When someone is 'indicted' metaphorically, their actions are publicly declared unacceptable or wrong.

Public Accusation

Using 'indict' idiomatically expresses strong disapproval, often in a formal or public manner.

 When a jury failed to indict the attackers, Parks demanded the governor assemble a new grand jury. She wrote, “I know that you will not fail to let the people of Alabama know that there is equal justice for all of our citizens.” Throughout her life, Parks repeatedly challenged racial violence
