Why the Rush Towards Impeachment?

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, leader of the Democratic effort to impeach President Trump, told colleagues recently that impeachment is "an urgent matter that cannot wait."
Why? Why is it so urgent that Trump, who has been in office for nearly three years and will stand for re-election in 11 months -- why is it so urgent that he be impeached and removed this very moment?
The reasons probably have more to do with Democratic political priorities than with anything Trump has done or will do.
Schiff and Speaker Nancy Pelosi deny any political motive in impeaching the president. Perish the thought! Pelosi says Democrats are acting "sadly, prayerfully, [and] with a heavy heart." But they are racing to get the job done by Christmas. They're not even trying to hear from some key witnesses, like former National Security Adviser John Bolton, because they don't want to take the time to go to court over it.
