Trump tried to block an investigation into a foreign attack on our Democracy so...

that alone should be enough to reach the standard of "high crimes and misdemeanors".

The primary focus was to determine if and how our election had been attacked by a foreign entity.
Collusion by the Trump campaign was just one element of the investigation, not the driving force.

Trump's attempts to block an investigation into an attack on the US would be giving aid and comfort to our enemy and seems a pretty clear illustration of a high crime or misdemeanor.

Looking at it dispassionately this should easily rise to the standard of impeachment.
