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.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
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".
