Yes, its a show trial, as judges and jurors are NOT impartial. However, there are MORE important principles behind this trial. IMHO, if nothing was done, then any President who lost an Election , could try an insurrection; either by encouraging his supporters to attack Congress (as Trump has done) or by directing his supporters in the Military to arrest Members of Congress - ie. a coup. And if the losing President failed in the attempt, then Nothing (per GOP preference) can be done against him/her, as he/she will be the Ex-President - that is, there are no consequences!!! Basically, a Free Attempt at Insurrection/Coup. But if the losing President succeed, he/she will become the Ruling Dictator. This is why its important that both sides work together to try to make this trial as impartial as possible, so that a strong Legal Precedent is established for all future Presidents to abide by. Otherwise, you could end up with lots of nightmarish scenario.

Trump incited treason and was the head coup plotter. No matter if spineless GOP senators fail in their sworn duty Trump will be facing criminal charges including in Georgia and New York soon. No spineless GOP senators as jury there.
