Because of the politics involved, I doubt that there will be any federal prosecutions, though there certainly could--and should--be thorough and public investigations. Clearly if the Georgia AG is sufficiently wealthy to give up public service and move to some nice undisclosed location, the state could bring an indictment based on state law. As you suggest, one thing that could happen tomorrow is the House bringing a bill of impeachment. I don't know if there is sufficient party discipline to maintain a majority behind it. But even if the clock would inevitably run out due to Senate delays, it would be good to have history mark Li'l Donnie as the only twice-impeached president.
There should be prosecutions of anybody involved in the events surrounding the GA phone call - Mark Meadows and the Trump attorney(s) in on the call. Then, this should also work backwards to the call with Vladimir Zolensky (the original perfect call). Even when Nixon was pardoned, his conspirators suffered the legal consequences.
