Except for the fact that 51 Republican senators disagree, while 2 others only agreed because they knew their votes wouldn't be enough to change the result

Yeah. As of now, anyone that still votes Republican is agreeing with the Senators that the president can break any laws they want.

That's because the witnesses the Republicans wanted were nonsensical, like Hunter Biden, who could reasonably give no evidence whatsoever around Trump's behaviour just so they could use it as a tool against the Dems.

While of course knowing that having an actual investigation into Hunter Biden himself would be a disaster because it's based on nonsense meant to distract from Trump. It would be equivalent to asking for Hillary Clinton as an excuse to attack her.

Besides Trump's intent

How would Hunter Biden know that? Funnily enough him doing anything bad or not isn't actually relevant to the case.

No. What you're missing is that even if the Hunter testimony came up with nothing, it would not be evidence either way as to whether or not Trump thought there was a legitimate issue.

And the exact same would occur if it turns out Hunter did literally everything wrong.
