For Republicans to even consider impeachment I think the criteria would be:
1. Has Trump's support among Republicans declined to a degree that they'd consider appreciable/significant? 2. Have the scandals become so much that nothing can get accomplished on the legislative front?
If at any point both of these are met and there's intense public pressure then there's a chance.
I really don't think there's going to be any massive 'bombshell' though. Especially not with regard to Russia/possible collusion, because to be frank it's looking less and less likely that any serious collusion actually occurred. No doubt, Russia intervened and they did so to benefit Trump, not Hillary. That's bad enough in and of itself. But I don't think there was much reciprocity. However, there probably is some very shady stuff elsewhere and it could very well be uncovered in the course of this investigation.
Like, he's not withholding his tax returns just because. There's a reason. Granted, minimally and in the most benign sense it may just be a narcissistic inability to publicly admit that he's maybe not worth as much as he says he is, but it could very well be something more substantial and indicative of some form of wrongdoing on his part.
