A credible rumor that Trump was about to pardon the rioters would lead to his impeachment.
I would imagine that Pelosi and allies would like to find 20 Republican senators who pledge to vote to remove Trump from office and bar him from further public office, so that this impeachment does not mirror the last one.
And yes, there are lots of lawyers on the House staff who could have the articles of impeachment ready on ten minutes notice. (It takes longer because some of them use Windows.)
