I think that very well could be part of it.  I also think the other part of it is all about timing.  Sanders and Warren (along with a couple of others) are not able to be in Iowa for the democrat caucus.  The DNC wing of the establishment has chosen either Biden (most likely) or Bloomberg.

Also remember that the articles and this whole impeachment sham is not about The Constitution or any laws being broken.  It's all about trying to hurt Trump's chances at re-election.  It's a purely partisan political process and I think that most of the country is starting to see that.  At a recent Trump rally in Jew Jersey it was reported that somewhere around 25% of those in attendance were registered democrats... in a blue state.  There were well over 100,000 people unable to get into the rally for capacity reasons.  Democrats should really think about that.

It has also been reported that many senate democrats are leaning towards acquittal.
