Do you actually think the Senate would have voted any differently if 100 witnesses from the defense and one or two from our side were deposed? Not to mention the weeks and months it would have taken to finish?

Personally, I don't think so, and I'm really, really glad the House managers didn't risk bad actors claiming to testify for the prosecution but end up testifying for the defense. I'm really glad they proceeded as they did.
