It says "but the party convicted" right in the section you posted. "But the party convicted" will then be subject to criminal prosecution, but not before Congress decides on removal.

The words "will then" are no where within that Constitutional provision. That amendment basically states that a party convicted can also be subject to criminal prosecution.

It says nothing about acquittal, which means the amendment was adopted with the framework of advising that acquittal or conviction of impeachment by Congress and the Senate have no bearing on a subsequent criminal prosecution after the impeachment process has concluded.
