His corrupt intent with Russia by trying to enrich himself with Trump Tower Moscow and intertwining his campaign with the Putin government to make it happen is another story all together. That is a crime against the US of A, bigly, and will not go unpunished if proven.
The former is only a stepping stone to the latter, which is what matters.
You are correct; the Republican impeachment of Clinton over perjury and a sex scandal arguably back-fired politically, and the Democrats are keenly aware of this, and I think will tread lightly about impeachment over campaign finance crimes. It's probably better to wait and let all of Trump's malfeasance be exposed to the public and let them see it for themselves. I think the GOP is going to lose control of the political reigns of power for quite some time, once this is all over.
