Let's remember that the US constitution stipulates impeachment for "high crimes and misdemeanors". If the President only commits high crimes, there's no way to impeach. You gotta also have some misdemeanors. I don't make up these rules.
Gotta admit I don't understand why impeachment isn't based on the week 1 unconstitutional muslim ban, and the catalogue of corruption since. Seems very unprincipled for it to require some kind of political farce.

Because of the correct assessment that it would have failed in the Senate.

Well as I've said before; I'd do it over and over just to occupy the Chief Justice's time and slow down an illegitimately constituted Supreme Court. That's the pragmatic case. There's a moral case too, to fight for democratic norms even in the face of defeat.
