Things have gotten to the point that the Dems are now willing to take some casualties, particularly Franken, whom even they despise for obvious reasons, but also Conyers, and who else?
Oh yeah Weinstein, Lauer, I'm sure there are more. As others have said they're trying to get the moral high ground to give it another try with Roy Moore and also with Trump.
(Do you know that Trump used to hit on women and ask them if they wanted to go for a ride in his helicopter?) /s
The stakes are high: The Supreme Court and the rest of the Federal Judiciary, and how the Constitution is going to be interpreted for years to come.
It is about politics. Otherwise they would continue to suffer Al Franken among them because he's one of them. They're nothing if not loyal to their own, except when the stakes are this high. In which case they start coming up with expendables like Franken, and even Conyers too. (Be careful, Nancy, that's dangerous...)
They'll be happier trading Franken away for another Democrat to be appointed by the Governor anyway... for obvious reasons.
(Which begs the question, what will they NOT resort to, to get their way?
I wouldn't know. Just axin'.)

That number is shrinking, shrinking... as the establishment media has less and less ability to cover up and spike stories...
