It's called getting ahead of the issue, or "cutting 'em off at the pass".

As far as the Dems on the committee endorsing it, it's a roll of the dice for them with little downside. Some bit of information just might come up that the GOP can't spin its way out of. If not, they can still hold a press conference when the final report is released and assert that the investigation was a whitewash.
