This is not a normal trial. They use any rules they feel like, and expect they will never be held accountable. (Same thing happened at the Nuremberg Trials, BTW).

There is no appeal, since the courts have previously ruled that impeachment is a "political" matter and not something the courts should be concerned with -- at all.

Now, OTOH the SCOTUS is scheduled in another week or so to consider (only consider) taking up some of the election fraud cases. If (a big IF) those cases end up being heard and they find that the election fraud nullifies the election or overturns it, then all hell will break loose and we will see what happens.

Also possible for military tribunals to step in. But as of right now, it is a shit show and Trump's lawyer team screwed the pooch.
