    The “fun” part of his acquittal vote is that he said he was guilty, but since he had lost the election already, casting a guilty vote would be the wrong thing for the senate to do.

    He wanted to both appease trump voters by voting not guilty, and appease saner moderates by calling him guilty in the press.
