I think our reps are more concerned with removing any patent "partisan" cast to this impeachment inquiry and try it solely on its merits. Attacking McConnell et al. means the GOP propaganda team can go full-bore "Dems being Dems" and perhaps neutralize some of our good faith in the process. Just like a prosecutor wouldn't malign the defendant or his counsel personally prior to trial, it could be argued that avoiding acts that could be deemed overtly political at this juncture suits the Dems' cause more than calling the GOP out for its sabotage of the process. Thinking Americans already perceive them through that lens anyway.
