Much as I dislike Pelosi, she's using a good strategy by letting facts trickle out through the investigations and court cases, and allowing Trump's tariff war to further negatively impact consumers, farmers, retailers, etc. Absent some new fact or public opinion to cause the Senate Republicans to no longer support Trump, her approach has the best chance of making her goal electing a Democratic President.
