WASHINGTON With the Senate preparing to acquit President Donald Trump , you might think Democrats would try to keep the focus on the Ukraine scandal by impeaching other administration officials involved in the scheme. But even the most liberal House Democrats have reservations about that sort of strategy.

We have one impeachment going on right now, and its for the president of the United States, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, told HuffPost this week.

Jayapal said all attention should be trained on Trumps impeachment trial instead of looking at other officials involved in the politically motivated effort to pressure Ukraine, like Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Attorney General William Barr and she wouldnt stray from that message.

It appears that Mitch McConnell and the Republican Senate has a choice to make: Are they going to let him get away with that, or are we going to call witnesses and are we actually going to have a fair trial? Jayapal said.

This is about the impeachment of a president, she added. And if the Senate refuses to have a fair trial in this situation, why would they have a fair trial in any other situation?

That was a common sentiment among liberal Democrats. And Jayapal wasnt alone in showing reluctance to go after other officials.
