The impeachment of Bill Clinton in 1998 established that the President is not above the law. Considering that the whole episode was about nothing more than a lousy blow job, in comparison Donald Trump has definitely tried to obstruct justice. What his motives were or whether he succeeded is irrelevant; the fact that he attempted it is grounds for impeachment. Of course Democrats should continue to press for the unredacted Muller report as well as getting Trump's tax returns. But impeachment should still remain on the table.
Some worry that the impeachment will fail because Senate GOPers won't vote to impeach Trump. But even so, Trump will still be damaged (Like Andrew Johnson in 1868). Congressional GOPers will have to go on record that they protected Trump's crimes.
