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).

I am not, but some of these charges stem back to 2008, if the process is over 2 years long for a trial, then there are even larger issues. And I say don't dismiss the political play of waiting until after the trial.
