Why does there even need to be an investigation at this point? He's literally and brazenly soliciting the help from foreign governments to interfere in the election completely publicly.

Unlikely, but I feel like they have to try or else they're effectively conceding that this sort of behavior will be par for the course for future presidents, some of whom might actually be smart and competent as well as dead inside.
This is a good, but long read by George Conway
Unfit for Office Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

Trump raised Biden with Xi in June call housed in highly secure server
When President Donald Trump suggested — without prompting — that China should investigate Joe Biden and his son, he thrust another political grudge into what was already the world's most complicated and consequential relationship.

The White House record of that call was later stored in the highly secured electronic system used to house a now-infamous phone call with Ukraine's President and which helped spark a whistleblower complaint that's led Democrats to open an impeachment inquiry into Trump. On Thursday, Trump told reporters at the White House he'd consider asking his counterpart in Beijing to investigate the Bidens, adding to a growing list of foreign leaders he's tried to enlist in his attempts to bring down a potential Democratic challenger. "It's certainly something we can start thinking about," Trump said when questioned whether he would seek the help of Xi in investigating Biden. "Because I'm sure that President Xi does not like being under that kind of scrutiny."
Trump's comments sparked confusion and a scramble for explanation from Chinese officials. "Are you asking about the comments that Trump just made? I don't think I can tell you anything in this regard right now," said one Chinese diplomat when questioned on Thursday about Trump's remarks."This is quite chaotic," the diplomat said. "We do not want to get in the middle of the US politics." One Trump ally outside the White House described receiving a message from Chinese government officials asking if Trump was serious when he suggested China open an investigation into Biden. The response: investigating corruption is an easy way to earn goodwill with Trump.The Chinese did not immediately clarify if they would be launching an investigation -- or if they would make it public if they do.
There doesn’t need to be a quid pro quo for impeachment but..
I can't help but feel that it won't matter. The Republicans are too close to the island to swim back, Trump has made treachery and turd eating lunacy so normal now that there is effectively nothing the cowards will impeach him for
