Jake Tapper, host of CNN's "State of the Union," noted that Lofgren had urged senators not to "surrender to the president's stonewalling." Democrats are insisting that senators call the witnesses and subpoena the documents that House members didn’t wait for."We did go to court, as you know," Lofgren said.Tapper interrupted: "But you didn't pursue it in court. You ultimately withdrew the cases and went to the Senate.""Ultimately, we realized we had the evidence we were going to get, and that it was sufficient to prove our case," Lofgren said.Tapper pressed her: "But didn't you surrender to the president's stonewalling, in that sense?""Well, in that -- I guess, in that sense, we did, because, if we had waited for three or four years, the election would be over. The issue would be almost moot. If he is committing a high crime and misdemeanor now, and continuing to do it, we need to act."
