Am I the only one who thinks the impeachment trial is a good thing? It does 2 things. Sets a prescience that you can impeach former presidents (and former public officials) so if sanity ever returns, we can go after GW and Hussain. And secondly it gives Trump a venue and audience to unload the election fraud and other evidence.
BUT regardless of any evidence he has, they'll convict him. The alien mother ship itself could land, and Elvis can walk out with the larping German Scytl servers in his arms, and they'd still convict him.
You're assuming there's going to be any semblance to a real court of law. They're already going to move forward with the trial, which is unconstitutional. They're not going to have the Chief Justice preside over the case, as the Constitution dictates; instead they're having a Democrat Senator preside over it. This isn't a real trial. It's a lynching. It doesn't matter what he presents; it's totally meaningless in that arena.

You think the Dems are going to allow Trump to present evidence or any kind of defence?
Media will misreport like they always do
They could also do something like impeach Washington, Jefferson etc for being slaveowners and use it as a pretext to abolish the Constitution.
This is no bueno.
they will need to make it look legit

Depending on the evidence he has, quite a few people would be prohibited from casting a vote or even invalidating the passing of the house vote.

They wouldn't have the trial if they thought Trump would get a fair hearing.
