No matter your politics, watch this.

You know exactly why the Republicans voted that way. Not a single one would actually vote to impeach, it is nothing but parliamentary showmanship. If there were any actual strong support for impeachment they'd all be wailing about what a travesty it is, how it gives aid and comfort to the enemy, blah blah blah.

While that is true of the Republicans it does not explain away the inactions of the Majority of Dems. If it is their job to provide a check against a runaway WhiteHouse one must come to one of two conclusions: A) They are negligent in their duty or B) The WhiteHouse isn't running away.
