The leader of the judiciary committee has already said he's not even inclined to call witnesses or hold a trial. The Senate isn't obligated to -- they can simply 51 votes and dismiss the whole thing if they want to, and that's what they've suggested they may do. There are certainly not 67 votes in favor of conviction and there's absolutely zero chance there will be.
Indictments don't really mean shit beyond the fact someone wants a trial, and that's what an impeachment is. The Clinton impeachment was similar politically in that there was never a chance he would be removed from office.
