I think he is banking on impeachment being a win for him. He's been playing that game so far, that is what he is doing with the unprecedented use of executive privilege, the ordering of McGahn not to testify, etc. He's trying to push the House to the point of impeachment proceedings, IMO, because he sees those as a political win for him so he can play the victim card and ride that through 2020. Unless something comes out so egregious in the hearings that the GOP will have no choice, he will remain in office and be able to claim victory, so I feel like he is right.
It should be noted that one of the original articles of impeachment for Nixon was obstruction of Congress, and that will likely be one of the first for Trump as he prevents them from doing their job.
