Can the House not head the prosecution in the form a special committee, in light of the systemic corruption?

I have never heard of the legislative chamber performing a prosecutorial function, although I am happy to be corrected if someone knows better. AFAIK they can investigate, and they can cite for contempt of Congress, but the latter is not self-enforcing, and requires assistance of either the DOJ or the judicial branch.
