Otherwise we are at an impasse where all that has to happen if a president allegedly does bad things is his party comes out and says they won’t convict or act against him and the investigations don’t happen
We also see that the executive branch is fully non-cooperative at this point with the Treasury breaking the law and the AG shilling for the president.
Yup, that's all that has to happen for the investigations to be useless, so it's pretty much all that has to happen already. It's what's happening. What's your end game here? The Democrats launch investigations and...?
And no matter what the candidates campaign on, they'll be asked about it over and over, and some will be on committees that have hearings about it. They can't totally dodge it.

Your take is absolute poison. Sure it helps in 2020 but it is toxic to your functioning democracy.
Yup, agreed. But it's less toxic to my functioning democracy than four more years of Trump. Keep in mind if he wins, he will know he is totally unimpeachable in any way, shape or form, and imagine what that means for this country...
