Here is a brilliant editorial in the Washington Post on the probable outcome and fall-out from the Impeachment "trial".

The essential problem for the Republicans is the simple fact that the guy is guilty, and they know it.
Clinton was charged with lying under oath and obstruction of justice related to trying to hide the fact that he had sex with a subordinate. What Trump has obviously done makes Clinton's crimes look petty in comparison.
Trump should be removed from office.
For the record, I am not rabidly anti-Trump - I thought Clinton should have been removed from office as well. As guardians of the law, lawyers can't ever lie under oath, and if they are caught doing so, the maximum penalty should be rendered against them. (NB - Clinton was disbarred, and prevented from ever again practising law in Arkansas after the impeachment trial, based on the fact that he lied under oath.)
Presidents like Trump, and Clinton before him, are why the Impeachment Clause exists in the United States Constitution.
