Maybe this has happened to you. It’s Black Friday and the sales are incredible. You camp outside the store all night to get that special device you absolutely have to have. The doors open, you rush in, run through the store to find your sale item only to learn they are sold out. BUT… they do have other items they will gladly sell you for a little more. You’re a victim of a bait and switch.

America has been a victim of bait and switch for nearly three years now. Three years ago we were told the Trump campaign and the president-elect conspired with Russia to change the outcome of the election. One by one, Trump associates fell to the prosecutors, confessing their sins. Yeah, I know, they didn’t commit collusion with Russia, but hey, they’re Trump’s people, so…

For two years, Congressman Adam Schiff told the media he had absolute proof, irrefutable evidence that President Donald Trump colluded with Russia. He said that right up until Robert Mueller’s report was released, showing no collusion. But Schiff maintained he had irrefutable evidence of Trump’s guilt. Schiff effectively said, “I have evidence of… OH LOOK, A SQUIRREL.”

Rep. Schiff now has “evidence” that President Trump threatened the president of Ukraine by withholding funds for the Ukrainian military unless he dug up dirt on Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. The evidence was so damning that Schiff had to do a “parody” of the letter during a congressional hearing. In his parody, it was horrible to hear the “threats” President Trump heaped upon the Ukrainian president. Schiff might as well have said, “Why, it was so bad that… OH LOOK, ANOTHER SQUIRREL!”

It’s interesting that last year, Senators Durbin, Leahy, and Menendez wrote to the Ukrainian prosecutor general asking his “cooperation” with the Mueller investigation – in other words, seeking dirt on Trump. Ironically, they tied that cooperation to U.S. guarantees on Ukrainian loans – a quid-pro-quo. That is similar to what Democrats claim as Trump’s impeachable offense…except the quid pro quo is clearer in the Democrats letter. Nothing to see here folks; move along.

Back in January 2018, VP Biden was speaking for the Council on Foreign Relations. Video shows him bragging about telling Ukraine that over a billion dollars in aid would be withheld unless they fired the special prosecutor who was investigating the company where his son served on the board. And, “Son of a b—h, he got fired,” Biden boasted. But that’s ignored. Bait and switch! Look at Trump!

As a Christian, I have FAITH. I have faith God is in control of this planet, even though at times it seems events are spinning out of control. But my faith pales in comparison to the faith of the media in our country. For two and a half years Adam Schiff told the media he had irrefutable proof of Trump’s collusion with Russia! IRREFUTABLE! Yet, time after time, they came to Schiff in expectant hope that this time he will have the goods to prosecute Trump! I don’t have that kind of blind faith!

Now he has absolute proof that Trump has threatened the leader of a foreign country for his personal benefit. Now, the actual words don’t convey that, but because Schiff is smarter than the rest of us, he had to interpret it for us. Schiff told us this is what Trump actually meant, not what he said. Bait and switch.

Something to think about?
