What procedure? There is no procedure for impeachment trials beyond what the Senate sets. 75% of people wanting witnesses means just that, not adherence to procedure for it's own sake - since said procedure doesn't exist.
It is however supposed to be an actual *trial* and it's hard to argue there was one without a single witness testifying or piece of documentary evidence being subpoenaed. Even when first hand eye witnesses were volunteering to testify and relevant materials withheld by the White House were leaking into the public making it clear they were obstructing rhe investigation.
Trials are not: Opening arguments -> The Jury majority in consultation with the defense refuses to look at further evidence -> Ruling.
The only term for that is cover up.
