Excerpts from article:
...Democratic California Rep. Adam Schiff said Sunday that removing President Donald Trump from office remains urgent and that's why Democrats did not force witnesses to testify during the impeachment inquiry through court orders.
..."The reality is, because what the president is threatening to do is cheat in the next election, you cannot wait months and years to be able to remove that threat from office," Schiff said, even though for the past month Pelosi was not indicating any urgency in delivering the articles of impeachment to the Senate.
...Although Republican critics slammed Schiff for leading an impeachment inquiry that was unfair to the president, the congressman told "This Week" that when the impeachment trial begins on Tuesday, "We'll be fighting for a fair trial. As I mentioned before, that is really the foundation on which this all rests. If the Senate prevails and there are no witnesses, it will be the first impeachment trial that goes to conclusion without witnesses."
