For any trolls trying to understand this process:

If you are charged with an assault that happened while at work January 6th, and you subsequently get fired for it but the charges don't make it to court till February 9th, does that make you immune from legal action because you no longer work for that company? Of course not.

A similar process is at work here. The House is the impeachment (charging) body while the Senate is the trial body.

Even if your trial happened after they fired you.
