There is not a 100% chance of them against the defendant.

If they can find a way to make their decision apply ony to one person, or only one circumstance, they will jump at it. The defendant's argument gives them that chance. They may very well jump at it and say since he was impeached for the offense, he cannot be tried for it.

Remember who we're talking about here, bribe takers and corrupt asshats to the core. Not one of tje repubs are honorable or care about anything but getting what they, or their handlers, want... and they want trump-era v2.0: the End of American Democracy. And they have already shown they will do pretty much anything to make sure that happens.
