I suppose the Senate vote is showing signs of being predetermined, but along the lines of entertaining thought alternatives, what if the Republicans acknowledge something like quid pro quo but say there is nothing wrong with it? I could see it.

That’s almost a given. Originally the defense was ‘THERE WAS NO QUID PRO QUO’ But now that it’s quite clear there was quid pro quo they have to pivot. Rational people, and history, will view them harshly. Russiapublicans will be cool with it.
