EXCERPT:
CALLAN: "I think she’s grasping here. The Republicans hold all the cards in the Senate. The Constitution says that the trial of an impeachment is solely within the discretion of the Senate. All of the prior impeachments have involved the majority of the Senate at the time determining what the rules would be, and of course, the Republicans are in the majority now. So the only thing she can do is to threaten to withhold the documents that are necessary for the trial in order to get a fair trial. But I think we’re coming to the end of the road on that, and the impeachment articles will have to be formally submitted. Frankly, I think they could be tried if they weren’t formally submitted. They're a matter of public record. We know exactly what was voted. But we’ll see how this plays out. And in the end, Mitch McConnell gets to call the shots, just as Pelosi called the shots on the House side. That's because, in the end, this is a political process, it’s not a court of law. It's a political process, and it's controlled entirely now by the Republicans."
