    BERNIE SANDERS (R), VERMONT SENATOR: We will no longer tolerate an
    economy and a political system that has been rigged by Wall Street
    to benefit the wealthiest Americans in this country at the expense
    of everyone else.

    O'REILLY: Senator Sanders putting forth that big money controls
    voting patterns, as well as the marketplace. Sanders, by the way,
    got hosed by his own party because many of the so-called super
    delegates were locked in for Hillary long before Sanders started
    hurting her in the primary. So, that primary system for the
    Democrats was rigged for sure against Sanders. Donald Trump sees the
    rigged thing a bit differently. Believing that the left-leaning
    media combined with suspect voting patterns is how the political
    system is rigged.


    So, let's look at the facts. With more than 100 million Americans
    voting, it is virtually impossible for the actual vote tally to be
    rigged. However, a pew study says that there are serious problems
    involving voter registration. "Is it Legal?" will take a hard look
    at that in just a few moments.

    On the media front there is no question. Americans are not getting
    objective reporting, generally speaking. That's because so many
    journalists are committed to the left. So, many Republicans and
    conservative candidates faced rigged coverage. Also, there is
    growing evidence that our justice system has been compromised and
    because Hillary Clinton is right in the middle of that, a case can
    be made that the election had been rigged in her favor by
    investigative authorities. A very powerful "Wall Street Journal"
    editorial today lays it out, quote, "Evidence keeps turning up,
    suggesting that the FBI probe into Hillary Clinton's emails was
    influenced by political favoritism and double standards," unquote.

    The latest is the number two man in the FBI Andrew McCabe, his wife,
    Dr. Jill McCabe received close to $700,000 from a close friend of
    Hillary Clinton's Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe. Dr. McCabe was
    running for the state Senate in Virginia. A McAuliffe controlled PAC
    gave her the money. She lost the election anyway. Now, at the time,
    Hillary Clinton was being investigated by the FBI. And Andrew McCabe
    was involved in that investigation. So, McCabe should have recused
    himself. If your wife is getting $675,000 from one of Hillary
    Clinton's closest friends, you don't investigate Hillary Clinton.

    The appearance of corruption is staggering. Talking Points is not
    saying there is corruption. But the optics are awful and FBI
    Director James Comey had to know that. If you combine the McCabe
    stuff, we just told you about, with Comey not calling for a grand
    jury and basically giving Secretary Clinton every benefit of every
    doubt, again, you have the appearance of impropriety. So it's no
    surprise. Many Americans, including Mr. Trump, believe the system is
    rigged. Did I mention Attorney General Loretta Lynch meeting with
    Bill Clinton during the investigation?

    I mean, come on. Again, the vote cannot be possibly rigged two weeks
    from tonight. And Mr. Trump should accept whatever happens at that
    vote, unless there is compelling evidence of corruption. Undermining
    our electoral system is not a patriotic thing. But overall, if you
    don't think the federal political and justice system has severe
    problems, you are living in the Land of Oz. And that's "The Memo".
