5. Because she doesn't have the votes
There are several dozen blue dog Democrats who come from districts where, I suspect, impeachment is not that popular an idea. These Democrats generally shy away from votes that are strict party line. Unless and until there is some repub support for starting the impeachment process (just as there was some bi-partisan support for starting both the Nixon and Clinton impeachments), these Democrats aren't going to support it and Pelosi knows that trying to start the process now could go down in flames.
