Will it become official that the call was not "perfect"?

The House managers proved their case, right? In fact they did it so well new witnesses were not needed in the Senate part of it all. Will that be the official outcome of all this? Will there be an official statement from Roberts or someone in the Senate expressing that Trump's behavior was found inappropriate, just not enough for removal?

He will never stop calling it "perfect" and the sheep at his therapy sessions / rallies will never care...

I can't wait to wake up one day to the happy news - Trump found dead on toilet, heart attack fells former POTUS.

what about the actual record? How will that go? They proved their case and showed impeachment was the proper thing to do.

“I worked with other senators to make sure that we have the right to ask for more documents and witnesses, but there is no need for more evidence to prove something that has already been proven and that does not meet the United States Constitution’s high bar for an impeachable offense. …The Constitution does not give the Senate the power to remove the president from office and ban him from this year’s ballot simply for actions that are inappropriate.

The question then is not whether the president did it, but whether the United States Senate or the American people should decide what to do about what he did. I believe that the Constitution provides that the people should make that decision in the presidential election that begins in Iowa on Monday. …Our founding documents provide for duly elected presidents who serve with ‘the consent of the governed,’ not at the pleasure of the United States Congress. Let the people decide.” – Senator Lamar Alexander

What I'm asking is- will that be put into an official statement as the outcome of this? Is what Alexander said actually going in the record, or is that just something he said on the side?
