Sure, Jan

Graham tells Maria Bartiromo his goal is to start the Senate trial "in the coming days."

"If we don't get articles this week, we need to take matters into our own hands and change the rules" of the Senate

Funny thing about this:

1) McConnell said Friday on the Senate floor that this "trial without articles" wasn't going to happen.

2) Lindsay can't get the 2/3rds of the Senate to vote with him to change the rules.

3) The Senate rules don't change the Constitution. If the Senate holds a trial without Articles or House managers (Pelosi is not scheduling a vote on that resolution, either.), and then the House sends articles (with, predictably, new Articles) and House managers, the Senate has to hold a new trial (there would be added credibility for additional Articles under this scenario).  The 5th Amendment doesn't apply to impeachment, which is not a criminal prosecution.

And the Senate has to hold a new trial, or defy the Constitution.

So sure, Lindsay, go ahead and change the rules. What could go wrong?
