Beyond the result being locked in I would guess the GOP threatened to turn witnesses into a quasi-fillibuster by simply calling endless witnesses, no matter how trivial, to drag this out forever. Whole trial was another textbook example of how completely broken America is, in any other Western nation such a trial would be taken seriously because the incident in question is a complete embarrassment to the country. Instead we got to watch a 78th rate Saul Goodman representing the defendant. God Bless America.
