Pelosi is speaker of the House, 2nd in the line of succession to the presidency and the highest official of her party in the federal government. The House whose members are elected from their states is the impeachment body and the prosecutor in a subsequent Senate trial.
Federal prosecutors are a part of the executive branch -- Department of Justice -- who are appointed from in the executive branch and who practice law in the judicial system. While prosecutors have no authority or jurisdiction over a sitting president the Congress does have it and Congress has it exclusively. There's nothing strange about any of this. It's all regular and Constitutional. All the same you'd rather have the prosecutors on the sidelines speaking out for you rather than speaking out against your guy as they are in fact doing.
Lindsey Graham has threaten to bypass trial go straight to vote in Senate. Could be fast and painless.
