It’s almost like she is trying to be as impartial as possible.

Why would being impartial lead to a mistrial?

Judicial Bias. A judge shouldn't be taking a side especially in decision. If she's shown to have show favoritism in her words or actions, that's pretty much an easy appeal... It's usually held until after the case (If the case goes in Trump's favor, they won't push for it, if it doesn't they can over turn it with a simple appeal).
