If Trump Is Impeached Will The Collusion Investigations.....

still move forward? Will we get his taxes? Will they stay on the backs of Flynn, Page, Manafort and the rest of the cast of characters like Session, Bannon, Kushner, Pribus, etc, etc, etc?

congress might stop investigating but the fbi would not. once they open an investigation they see to its end.

2. Impeachment unlikely but investigations into Russian collusion and financial wrongdoing continue

Impeachment would not affect serious legal implications of counterintelligence and financial wrongdoing especially involving Manafort and Flynn. Might not be enough evidence of criminal intent for indictments of the other cast of characters although Kushner and Sessions deliberately withheld pertinent information about their contacts with Russian ambassador (and Kushner's other foreign contacts).

4. RICO cases will move forward... Impeachment is prerequisite to moving forward on prosecuting Trump

Since RICO cases involve multiple persons ...
and it is likely that Trump (he & himself) will somehow be linked to more than 1 of the cases...

Then his impeachment becomes necessary to proceed with those cases...
otherwise he can't really be a defendant in a criminal case while still a sitting POTUS...

Of course, there's the pesky issue of McConnell & Ryan ... who need to be removed from the equation.

I saw a post today whereby they were referred to as "Impediment Rats" ... thought that was 2 funny!
