There are plenty of grounds for impeachment.
The emoluments alone!
They never proved that Clinton got an emolument while in office. But can you imagine if Obama or Bush had been literally operating a hotel targeting foreign diplomats while in office? 
Nancy just doesn't see high enough chances of winning in the Senate, nor does she see that the chances of her getting other things she wants improve with Pence in the White House. Remember Nancy generally has access to the unredacted versions of things. So she probably knows a little bit more about what facts are left to reveal, and when they will be revealed, than the rest of us. What's left to reveal is either not that surprising, or the schedule that it could possibly be revealed is too close to the 2020 election.

There are "plenty of grounds" and then you spout Emoluments Clause? It's a stretch to believe anything of unlawful merit comes from the Emolument case, let alone define grounds for impeachment. Little to no precedents and he has shown to distance himself (personal) from the fair market transactions taking place.

Again, another great leap in believing Nancy is backing off because she doesn't like the alternative. As you say, she has access to the info and knows there isn't anything there. This is reinforced by the fact that she agreed to hire two attorney's to guide the recent rash of hearings. If it doesn't exist, make it exist!! Unlucky for her and the Dem house is that there is no legal standing for any of the 81 entities contacted for info and hearings to have to comply. There are no lawful investigation grounds. In any case, muddying the waters was part of the plan from the beginning...dirty the air for the 2020 election in hopes that the sheep will bite. Only, she failed to let the newer members of her circus in on the plan. Seems to be backfiring at the moment and making her the fool.
