Trump’s legal team wants the impeachment trial. If the claim of voter fraud was the basis of his “incendiary rhetoric”, wouldn’t his legal team be able to finally show the evidence of voter fraud to the Senate?
There were stories flying around early on that Trump watched the voting manipulation happen, and he has evidence of it. Would it make it easier if he could prove Biden won fraudulently? Is there any legal standing for this?

The impeachment trial isn't over whether or not voter fraud occurred. They aren't going to be litigating whether or not the protestors were correct in assuming that the election was being stolen.
They are attempting to link Donald Trump to what happened on Jan 6th. Basically, if they can convince each other that the Capitol situation wouldn't have escalated, or even occurred, without Trump's rhetoric, then they can hold him responsible as the lynchpin of the "riot."
That's all they need to do. "Would this have happened if you hadn't called these people out? No? Then you're responsible."
Don't get your hopes up beyond that. Congress considers the voter fraud situation closed. If even a single legal victory had come down in our favor, maybe that wouldn't be true, but nobody in Congress has the political capital to continue arguing about voter fraud after the accusation was directly connected to an "attack" on the US Capitol.
Good post.
The protest was pre planned, so I expect the Dems to try and point to the “lies” he insisted on regarding election fraud. Hopefully that opens up a door.
