I beg to differ on this. This is way beyond the House and Senate right now. They do not have prosecutorial powers, and since it now involves people who are no longer in government it's probably outside their oversight authority for all intents and purposes. It is now a criminal matter.
For the players involved, there may be major civil lawsuits as well. I'm thinking particularly of Mike Flynn, who is now a civilian and has every right to address these matters in civil court.
I know it’s a criminal matter. But just as a house is worth only what the market will pay, so too Trump can only go as far as Senate/Cong will let him without starting impeachment.
And, yes, even if he is on 100% firm ground, they might try if they see their entire power base being unraveled.

“Now, does Trump have the guts to prosecute? Yes, I think. But will it go far? Depends on, unfortunately, the Senate and crazy members of the House. Will they support a LEGIT investigation of Zero, and the leaking and the unmasking, or will idiots like McTurd obstruct? My fear is that McTurd and Grahamnesty will join an “impeach” chorus rather than seek real justice.

Sessions needs his deputy confirmed like yesterday...
Doing the happy dance.
