The defense could be "Trump is guilty or everything he is accused of and we'll even given you MORE evidence to prove that and we dare you to vote against him" and the gop will not vote for impeachment. And the Trump cult will applaud them for defending him.
I’m willing to bet a few GOP senators actually would pause to consider setting the broad precedent that abuse of power isn’t impeachable. I’d imagine that they’d try to convince the defense team to change course so that they didn’t have to set that precedent.
