No, the hypocrisy is on one side.  The Democrats want to enforce the subpoenas and if the court says they can't they need another option to perform oversight.  Trump and the gop want to cover everything up and never have to answer anything at all.

Schiff called the defense teams arguments on subpoenas bad faith arguments during his time to talk for the witness vote. He pointed out that they said the House should have gone to court to enforce subpoenas and then mentioned that they have been trying to subpoena McGahn for 9 months but the White House is arguing in court that the courts have no jurisdiction to even see the case, essentially saying that there’s no legal path for the House to have a subpoena enforced against the White House.

You should have gone to the courts even though our argument in the courts is you can’t do that...
