The outcome of this trial really is all about internal Republican Party politics. We know the Dems will all vote to convict, and a small handful of GOP will do as well, but the only tangible outcome of a conviction is barring Trump from future office. So for the rest of the GOP the question really is, is that what they want, and is it more trouble than it's worth? Trump still has a very significant following within the party. Taking action like this now, may give his supporters time to splinter off and build a following.
