Trump remains enormously popular among Republican voters, and as long as he does, Republican legislators won't dare touch him. Criticism is one thing; removing him from office is another.
He very could be impeached again. All that means is "indicted". It will only happen if the House has the intestinal fortitude to do so and the thinking that it's the right political blot on him going forward. Convicted is a whole other thing. However, it would be sort of remarkable if he did get impeached, making him the only President to have been twice. An interesting bit for the historical record.
Impeachable, sure... but Trump managed to stop short of saying anything that could realistically get him convicted, imo (I have very little basis to make that judgement though, and I'd be incredibly entertained if I'm wrong!)
