Given that the Ethics Committee does not release the details of its deliberations, you are jumping to conclusions that the postponement was political and not giving "due process" to the defendant.
Of course, politics plays a role, but dont dismiss the rights of the accused (to prepare a defense) so lightly.

BTE, Maxine Waters would not be facing an ethics trial if not for the OCE that Pelosi pushed through, despite the fact that many in her own party did not like it (and it had no Republican support).
