I don’t trust McConnell as far as I could throw him.

Anyone ought to be able to see the connivance going on. There is no reason in hell not to consider a motion to dismiss. It was there in Clinton’s case. What the hell have you got to lose by trying to kill the beast straight away, unless you have something else up your sleeve. My biggest fear is in the eleventh hour someone will file a motion for secret ballot on conviction or acquittal. If that craziness happens, you can bet there are enough sleeper RINOs who will push a knife in the back of DJT for conviction.
McConnell treasures his position and, in his own mind, his hallowed performance as the soon-to-be longest-ever serving leader of the senate.
Beyond that, nothing matters. He would jail the president before tarnishing what he sees as his legacy.
