First they tell us impeachment is a political not judicial process so they don't have to allow any Republican input, now they tell us impeachment is a judicial process and all Republicans must recuse themselves because they are partisan.

No, no no.

In the House, they can do whatever they want. It's the Senate that must meet a higher standard.

I don't think Mitch will humor the _ _ _ _ _.

mistrial? Is that DemSpeak for: we want the media to be able to say for the next 30 days that the House impeached Trump, while we try to find a do-over reason to keep perpetual impeachment in the headlines in order to influence 2020 elections?

It is very nearly time for mass arrests and trials for treason.
President Trump has Tweeted of Treason in the last couple of days.

I know I’m a teen, but does my 7 year old brother smarter than this idiot? Adam Schiff was playing games and wouldn’t let Republicans to question Adam’s witnesses, but McConnell has to because he won’t follow the rules? Mark Twain said that diapers and politicians should be changed often...for the same reason...

“I think we’re going to have to call a mistrial before it even gets over to the Senate”

good gosh, what a dumbass:

1. Who’s “we”?

2. Why does “we” get to “call a mistrial”?

3. And what do you think “we” “calling a mistrial” will actually result in?

IMO, IF McConnell was SMART, he would, ON THE FIRST DAY, call for a vote by the Senate & when DJT is acquitted, then declare the “Impeachment” to be OVER & STOP WASTING taxpayer’s money on this utterly absurd FARCE.

I agree about Mitch.

All the Rats can go back to hell where they belong. We’re up against some very evil people.

Same to you and yours. Merry Christmas, friend!

LMAO! Just when you think Democrats couldn’t get more moonbatty, they’ve just outdone themselves.

They’re endlessly entertaining.

Which doesn’t apply to Democrats, who naturally, are as pure driven as the snow. Got it.

I would assume only Chief Justice Roberts could call a mistrial. if you want to play by trial rules, Roberts could rule that the impeachment procedure was prejudiced from the start and exculpatory evidence was denied entry into the record and dismiss the charges with prejudice.

More interesting to me...FISA will have to come up in the Senate trial. The Constitution states that the Chief Justice must preside in an impeachment trial. In this case, being the head of the FISA, the Chief Justice becomes a ”fact witness”...the judge cannot be a judge and a witness. So Roberts will have to relinquish the Chief Justice title to be a witness...and the Chief Justice title must be passed to another member of the Supreme Court. Makes me wonder if this is a move to remove Roberts from his position as Chief Justice.
