1. How does one "move for a mistrial"

in an Impeachment Trial in the Senate?

I don't think Roberts can grant it... and if it is voted on by the Senate, it will be defeated.

The fix is in... Trump will be "acquited" (not removed).

2. Doubt if the Constitution grants a mistrial option.

It's not under the customary laws of procedure.

3. In Situations Like This - I Always Ask Myself.....

if the shoe were on the other foot - what would the Repugs do?

What do you think they'd do if they were Schiff or the Dems?

4. Don't think it would be mistrial. I think they'd

be responding to their mega-billionaire owners (and Putin’s) orders to use the money to organize and fund buses for mass “tea party” and 2nd amendment rights rallies daily at the Capitol Mall and surrounds. They would be striving to bus a million old fart dimwit protestors into DC daily to shut the city down, dominate the news cycle and fan the rest of their brain dead supporters into a rage of protests nationwide with the hopes of creating a national emergency and general public sentiment that the “socialist-communist hate America Democrats” need to go.

5. I think we should try everything so the repubs will know next time to not set up a kangaroo

Court...their shenanigans should be made public and go on record.
