Liberman has not ruled out impeachment; but, he has ruled out 'just 
dropping it'.  From his speech:

   The last three weeks have been dominated by a cacophony of media 
   and political voices calling for impeachment or resignation or 
   censure, while a lesser chorus implores us to move on and get this 
   matter behind us.

   Appealing as that latter option may be to many people who are 
   understandably weary of this crisis, the transgressions the president 
   has admitted to are too consequential for us to walk away ...

   We in Congress, selected representatives of all the American people, 
   are surely capable institutionally of expressing such disapproval 
   through a resolution of reprimand or censure of the president for his 
   misconduct.  But it is premature to do so...

  In the same way, it seems to me that talk of impeachment and 
  resignation at this time is unjust and unwise. It is unjust because 
  we do not know enough in fact, and will not until the independent 
  counsel reports and the White House responds...

Bottom line, it depends on what is in Starr's report.
