Pelosi won't let it turn into an impeachment hearing unless Republicans start to sign on.

For what it's worth, I do think there's a lot of merit to the idea that Trump tried to block the investigation and shut it down through back channels on more than one occasion, and I do consider that to be obstruction. Does that automatically equal impeachment? No, but that sort of investigation is exactly why Congress has the power to hold hearings like this. If Democratic Socialists want to turn it into a partisan shitshow, hey, that's on them in 2020.
