Perhaps most of all, reading through the impeachment inquiry depositions that have been released so far, it's clear that cutting off questions that could possibly relate to the whistleblower has also allowed Democrats to shut off any look at how the Trump-Ukraine investigation started.
Democrats were rattled by Republican efforts to uncover the origins of the Trump-Russia probe.
The Steele dossier, the use of spies and informants to target the Trump campaign, the Carter Page wiretap, the murky start to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation - Democrats resisted GOP attempts to reveal them all.
As they lead the Trump-Ukraine impeachment inquiry, current Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and other Democrats are applying the lesson learned from Trump-Russia: Do not allow inquiry into the origins of the investigation.
In public hearings, Democrats have praised the whistleblower's action for starting the whole process.
Now - lessons learned - House Democrats are doing the Trump-Ukraine investigation themselves, making it easier to reach the conclusion they want.
Democrats appear committed to not allowing Republicans to open the Pandora's box of how the investigation began.
