Won't be any judges there, just Congress...Who's going to prosecute??? It'll be a trial without a judge and everyone will plead the 5th, if they show up...

Read your copy of the U. S. Constitution. The Chief Justice presides over the trial in the Senate. It's right there in black and white.

Not sure what the dispute is, but the case of Walter L. Nixon v United States 1993 is pretty clear that the Senate can use whatever rules they want and normal judicial procedures are irrelevant.
