Yes, it’s called trying to shut down a criminal investigation, which if Republicans were putting the U.S.A. first, would be an impeachable offense.
Republicans might be feeling impervious to the needs and demands of the people, given Senator Mark Warner’s warning that the Russians are still at it, and are set to attack the 2018 and 2020 elections.
