We are getting to a point where the Senate sets a precedent that the President of the United States is officially above the law and the impeachment process as defined by the Constitution doesn't work because the President can simply ignore inquiries (Contempt of Congress) as long as they have protection of their political party. Legal remedies are available only after the President leaves the office, subject to the statue of limitations.
upd. The President can effectively pardon themself and avoid any prosecution for federal crimes even after leaving the office.
