Hard disagree. Senate is his jury. When someone makes a case against someone in any court, they make the case to the jury.

During fazes of submitting subpeonas and collecting evidence and witnesses, there's not a case to present to anyone. Both sides be just collecting evidence for a trial where they display it to a jury i.e. senate. Trumps lawyers and house managers have had equal time to present to the jury. That's like.....how to trial for idiots.

If you're in jail for murder, having your lawyer present their case to the cops that arrested you doesn't do fluff. You must have him present to the jury which has happened.
