Yesterday, he said that it didn't matter what information was in the Bolton manuscript, it would not be enough to impeach or convict. How would he know that?
His argument encouraged Republicans toward acquitting without any witnesses. It would be a precedent if no witnesses are permitted. Many people will argue that it was not a fair trial if that happens.
The acquittal would not be an exoneration. It would be a cover-up.

Ah - on edit - rereading the 2nd half of his statement can be taken as you suggest!
Cheers!
