The rule-of-law crowd doesn't follow the rules.

Wants to see Congress 're-brand' its investigation as a 'criminal' investigation, which would involve Congress 're-branding' itself as the executive branch.https://t.co/VXxwofhTNp

If you read the Federalist Papers, you will find that impeachment is a "political act".  Nevertheless, there are people who are attempting to hide it all behind a cloak of legality.

The Conus says there must be high crimes and misdemeanors.

CONUS

Impeachment is tried in the Senate.  Removal of office follows, if convicted.  There is nothing to prevent prosecution if the POTUS is removed.

Therefore, first impeachment and removal, then prosecution afterwards.

The removal of the POTUS is a political act.  Yet, there is a requirement for a crime to have been committed.  Hence the reliance upon a Special Counsel, such as Mueller.

But Mueller won't say if he believes that Trump committed a crime.  In fact, HE WON'T say it.  He leaves that up to Congress.

Without the evidence presented to impeach, it becomes a nakedly political act.  The Congress doesn't want to do that, so they hide behind Mueller.  But Mueller hides behind Congress, and claims he cannot indict.   Frankly, I think it is all an equivocation.

As for the investigation itself, it is a FRAUD.  In my opinion, Amash is just a useful idiot for those who have a political agenda to remove Trump at all costs.
