It is what it is.
Absolutely they can. If they push forward and win, they win.

Even if they push forward and lose, they paint the senate as a rigged jury, and they have their base and moderates happy for the 2020 house elections. Which isn't a solid win, but it is better than being viewed as "too timid", which is how Pelosi lost control of the house back in her 2006 tenure.

The only way they can lose is to withdraw the inquiry.
