The Democrats are torn between wanting, not wanting and waiting for impeachment. Republicans criticize them for taking any stand.
The general consensus is that the only choices are impeach, charge after leaving office or do nothing. A very important fourth alternative has been totally ignored: congressional censure.
The last such censure I am aware of (there probably have been others) was of Sen. Joseph McCarthy in 1954. Censure of a congressman strips them of participation in any committee work, which pretty well strips them of any influence in Congress. It also causes public humiliation.
POTUS can also be censured.
