I believe they are dragging their feet because it is to their advantage politically.
I don't believe Congress are dragging their feet because of their ties to Russia.
I do believe McConnell became a fan of Wikileaks and enjoyed the Russian hacking. (For what it's worth. Maybe there is some enabling there)
Ryan wasn't a Trump supporter until he won the election.

Some members of Congress, such as Devin Nunes, can be complicit with Trump although they don't have nefarious ties to Russia themselves.

The Russia issue is with Trump's campaign and inner circle.
