"what is impeachment if not prosecution"

Impeachment is a function of the House, while prosecution of impeachment is a function of the Senate. That's why Clinton was impeached, but not removed from office. The house voted to impeach him, but the Senate voted against conviction.

Two sides of a coin. The whole process is prosecution. Semantics. A cop testifying is part of the proscecution process. It’s not just the prosecutor who takes part in the prosecution.
