3/31 is a Friday.. they have ~2 full weeks.

​

my tin foil hat theory is they're waiting until possible indictments drop on a certain former POTUS. Nixon will start "trending".. every talking head is going to say it 20x a night - that's a lot of free PR.

lol that's exactly what they're doing. I'm sure they will announce the new date in the middle of this week, assuming tuesday actually bears some fruit

Idk didn't they get beat to the punch with Gaslit? Isn't it pretty much focusing on the exact same people? I know HBO is always quality, but I'm skeptical that any take that in the current culture won't be able to resist essentially saying Nixon is just like Trump or paved the way for him which I can't see being an interesting take.

Nixon is a fascinating person and I think an anti hero take from his perspective like in Frost Nixon would be more interesting. Or just presenting everyone as snake and maybe giving Nixon some credit for resigning rather than burning it all down.

Well if he knows he is being arrested Tuesday, I think he has been indicted.
