If the verdict has already been decided (which it has)... the goal of the attorneys may be to not change that verdict.
The Senate will rule by about 56 to 44 (possibly even 60 / 40) to find Trump guilty... but they will not reach the 2/3rds required to fully impeach Trump and force any actions. That's the agreed verdict made behind closed doors. The rest is just a show.
Trump's attorneys have two jobs.
That's why they droned on endlessly and didn't really make a point. If possible, they could pull out Dr. Seuss books and read children's stories into the Senate record instead. Anything to fill time and not make any dumb mistakes.
They aren't trying to WIN. They aren't trying not to lose. All they are doing is not changing the agreed upon verdict.

reflecting on what you said, it seems not to jive with your argument.
This is for opening statements what is needed to be said. Delivery is interesting, juxtaposing one lawyer to the other.

They are NOT trying to WIN....another poor hiring choice, but probably the only lawyers left available.
