The 44 are still going to vote to acquit. Many of them have already said as much. Any acquittal is, by definition, a lack of accountability. Pence and McCarthy testifying doesn't suddenly transform that into accountability.

Commensurate accountability would be Trump being prosecuted and convicted by any of numerous jurisdictions.
