It wouldn't change the outcome in either case.
Maybe not, but this is yet another example of the Dems having no spine. It was more important to them to get home for their weeklong break than do their damn job. I wish I had as much time of as those feckers.
I think the Dems want this over almost as much as the Rs do - and none more than Biden himself. Let the courts deal with Trump.
What ropes? No amount of witnesses will make enough Reps change their minds. That's become very clear this week, so as @Raoul said, the Dems are probably fine with ending this quickly now, so they're not in the way of criminal prosecution.

It's not about the conviction. That was never going to happen. But I wanted to see them call the Republicans bluff about the witnesses. It would not have gone down well for them.
Nothing.
That's not to say the courts will be successful, but the Dems have pretty much squeezed all the juice out of this to make their point, so there probably wouldn't be much more value in keeping it going.
Capitulated and agreed to not have witnesses. They just read the congresswoman's statement (that was already public) into the record. On the plus side they should all be home in time to enjoy there monthly full week off.
They're so soft. Republicans, if they were in the right, would've paraded dozens of witnesses.
Calling witnesses would go a long way to drive the point home though, irrespective of the end result. There was enough left to squeeze Trump/Republicans and the Dems have absolutely lost that chance. Disgusting.
It's not about the trial. It's about showing the world what a farce trump is.

It was never really about winning though.. that was pretty much always a forgone conclusion. This is massive win for Trump and embolden the the maga crowd and his base more than ever before. They missed a chance to get real, live witness testimony (why even call for it, get the vote and backtrack like that?!) and display even more direct damning evidence to the public like they did on day 1. And especially after the way the trump lawyers just shat over everything yesterday, they had to do reply back in someway.. and they caved, completey.

There's no way you believe this.
This is not about the acquittal as that was always going to happen, it's about backing down on witnesses and using the excuse "it will take time from passing Biden's agenda and will make bipartisanship harder" when the Repubs were never going to work with them and they are taking a week off for vacation (sorry, "State" work).
The very fact that there is a Senate trial after Trump left office is unprecedented, so the fact that they have prosecuted their case before the public, including that 13 minute video and now the comment from the R congresswoman is more than enough to have made their point. They won't be getting a conviction, so there's no inherent value in prolonging the inevitable.
