He will go kicking, screaming and suing. He won't resign and the GOP won't impeach him. All dems are calling for the GOP to sign their bill for an independent investigation committing in addition to congressional committees and a special prosecutor. That commission would be NON partisan, faster, fully staffed and resourced, public will know results, and it is thorough and complete.
