If anything, i consider all of this for the historical record. Because of the circumstances that they had to work with, they had to find a way to create their own precedent for presenting a case for impeachment, that would utilize the format of previous precedent, but that was adapted to the fact that there was no grand jury available to help with supplemental evidence in the face of the defending President's refusal to provide anything. Plus nowadays, you have all of these "new media", with video and audio clips, as well as texts and emails, that will somehow be transcribed, and included in the record.
