What I think the defense lawyers will argue?

That the House impeachment process was a sham and the Senate should not promote it any further. They should not call any witnesses. They should vote to acquit as soon as possible.

If the facts are on your side, pound the facts. If the law is on your side, pound the law. If neither the facts nor the law are on your side, pound the table.
