Your scenario can only happen if McConnell allows it. As in the House the Senate makes its own rules and the House has zero, zip, nada, nothing to say about it.

McConnell is in an election year and if he wants to throw away that which he now has as his greatest EVER achievement, the Judges he has gotten pushed through he will greatly damage his chances at re election.

People seem to think the Democrats have all this mysterious power and can do what they want. Yet everything they have tried has FAILED and not just since Trump assumed office but thru the entire election process.

Democrats are total fools and one of Trumps greatest and longest lasting legacies will be his ripping the facade of them and exposing both them and the media they have partnered with for the America haters they are.

No compromise! Any yield to Democrat demands means they will run roughshod over the proceedings.

Why this rush to conclude the impeachment process. Ken Starr investigated Clinton for over a year. We can take time for a special counsel to look into potential Trump wrongdoing...oh, er,...never mind.

I’m suspicious that protecting Biden is a very big part of this drama.

Removing Trump lights the fuse. They all have to go home at some point.

Here's the fact of the matter: without a "deal" this "impeachment" is un-Constitutional on its face.

Once the Senate accepts the articles of impeachment, they give them credibility.

No deal, Mr. McConnell.

Here’s the deal: The House turns over the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate forthwith, or the Circus comes to an abrupt end.

No suspicion about that, it's bona-fide fact.

Try putting the video where Biden brags he got the Ukranian Prosecutor fired or he'd withhhold $1 Billion in funds.

Fakebook rips it down as fast as you can put it up. And it's Biden saying it himself!

The liberal media is fully in bed with the Democrat party. Zero doubt about it in my mind.

If there is any trial at all, I hope McConnell rots in hell.

Read this article;

https://www.thepostemail.com/2019/12/22/scotus-no-articles-of-impeachment-or-a-trial-are-required-for-the-senate-to-acquit-president-trump/?fbclid=IwAR05e6bZJj1cnviKvLIGX02nEI8X-W0oEZUUCUZac8Dn9LWVc3kxiVxCtoA

It lays out why, according to the USSC, the senate doesn’t need the articles of impeachment to be presented to them and why they can acquit PDJT without a trial.

Of that I'm as sure as you are. (P.S. I hear we win in the end.)
