I don’t believe I said there was no quid pro quo. I said based on the transcript alone it couldn’t be proven adequately enough to make it impossible for more than 1/3 of the Senate to acquit.
If you’re an R senator, given there’s no one to fill a vacuum if Trump were taken out before the election, and the R base will destroy you in the next primary, you’ve no choice but to acquit.
McConnell’s going to have to lie with a straight face at levels that will test even his ethical limits, which are the stretchiest of the stretchy.
