This is a switch from criminal prosecution to which your "prosecutor's explanation" referred, to impeachment. Criminal standards and impeachment "standards" (if there are any), as they are currently practiced, are not the same.
And Trump wasn't asking Ukraine to impede an investigation, but to conduct one.
