So when the GOP refuses to impeach Trump because they were in on the collusion,

what is the game plan?

Seriously, Republicans were never punished for keeping the hostages in Iran until after the election in 1980, were slapped on the wrist for Iran/Contra, and got off scott free for lying us into a war with Iraq after 911.

Are we going to passively sit back and let treasonous crimes stand, yet again?

GOP runs the show right now which means 'we' have very power to influence the process. Rich and politically connected individuals rarely get punished for their misdeeds. It's not right, but it is how the world works. What's interesting with Trump is that he has pissed off CIA, FBI and the press so badly that he might actually be held accountable.
