I’m sure that if a John Dean-esque Trump insider came forward and was brutally honest about what went on they would question his honesty, imply or openly insist he had some kind of political bias, and berate him.

If President Biff himself was given truth serum and blabbed for a week about everything evil he’s done since Kindergarten, they would say the same thing.
Jim Acosta: “Mr. President, what about all the crimes you confessed to yesterday?”
Biff: “You can’t believe a word that guy says. He’s a partisan hack. He’s the criminal. You should be looking into him, not me. He was spying on me from inside my own brain the whole time!”

The most charitable reading is that they are trying to do their job of keeping the government open and running effectively and not worrying about the impeachment over in the House. And whatever the House decides on impeachment, it will be months before they have finished their investigation. There really isn’t much reason for senators to waste time worrying about it until the investigations are done and the House Judiciary committee starts voting.

And you wonder why we call it fly-over country. We just don’t like stepping in ignorance.
