Once again the GOP is playing "go-fish" when the Dems are playing "Bridge."
And I suspect the GOP doesn't want the corruption exposed either - because some of it leads back to THEM - and McCain - and a bunch of people who are still around to take the fall. So - they would rather roll the dice with the "Senate whitewashed the impeachment trial" chants that will come from the media - then give Trump the fair trial he is entitled to and bring down the swamp.
Because I'll be very honest here: If Trump nods at this lack of being able to call his witnesses and allows the Senate to just dismiss it without him being able to KILL the democrats with a SCORCHED-EARTH CROSS-EXAMINATION - even I will think he's hiding something. Why? Because I know if I were completely innocent and I had the chance to rake my enemies over the coals for all to see (after what they had done to me for 3 years) and a bunch of my "allies" prevented me from doing that - I would raise holy hell.
This COUNTRY needs to see these people on the stand and exposed. It is the ONLY way they will be told the truth - because they won't get it from the media. If our party won't allow that to happen - well - let's just say Trump better not allow that to happen.

Not really. The clock ran out. There is no time for POTUS to engage the GOP on this while simultaneously GOTV the GOP vote for 2020. By the time this gets to the senate we will be months away from an election. That’s all by design of course.
