The point of impeachment is to get the evidence out on the table for the nation to see
then let Trump go apeshit trying to explain it all away
Oh, King Orange will go apeshit all right, but not “explaining” anything: Donald Trump has (AFAICT) never explained anything away in his life - certainly not in his belated political career: his reaction to any embarrassing (even to the point of criminal) revelations will likely be his usual one: very loud, very public denunciations of “FAKE NEWS!!”, “VENDETTA!!” “WITCH HUNT!!!!” , etc.: frantic whattaboutism: “CROOKED HILLARY!!! CROOKED DEMS!!!” and probably another red-hat rally in which he will lard his denunciatory rhetoric with taking personal credit for every “positive” thing everywhere in the whole country. On the (disgustingly and disgracefully accurate) assumption that his “base” won’t care.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see an official (or semi-official) communication from the WH/Admin claiming that Donald Trump’s decades of declaring staggering losses is actually proof-positive of his transcendent business genius: on the grounds that only a brilliant businessman like The Donald could lose that much money for so long, and still end up so affluent - and POTUS….
ADD: I see BWS beat me to my last point in #131. Gotta type faster…
