O'Reilly: 'This Country Is Doomed' If 'Presidency Can Be Bought'
2015-05-07
[Daily Caller] Fox News host Bill O'Reilly called for an FBI investigation into the allegations surrounding foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation on "The Five" Tuesday, saying the country would be "doomed" if the presidency could be bought in such a way.

"So what has to happen -- and this has to happen -- is the FBI has to look into this to preserve the sanctity of the electoral process," he said. "Because nobody is going to find the truth. The investigative reporters will find a little bit, but we don't have subpoena power. We can't subpoena."

"And because this is a presidential election issue now, the FBI has to go in," O'Reilly continued. "...They have no choice. They have to investigate this."
Bill, Bill, Bill.... PLEASE take a moment now and then and scan the Burg. At a minimum, get some new Blue Room analysts.
Host Eric Bolling suggested the Internal Revenue Service could investigate, but O'Reilly dismissed the idea. "The IRS, its been corrupted. We know that. It's politicized; people who run it take orders from whoever is in power."
Don't be absurd, Mr. O'Reilly -- they interpret directions in light of the zeitgeist when Democrats are running things, and do their best to hold the line when Republicans are on charge.

#14  The best part of buying it... is that you can use other people's money!

#12  Buy it, hell folks, they are importing permanent one party rule as we speak (soon to be in Spanish) and nothing, not a Goddam F*cking thing is being done to stop it. They are't going to buy it, you are, your tax dollars as entitlements will pay these imported low skill, low education imports to vote democrat as if their checks depended on it, which they will!

#11  Rj nailed it. Watsmore, they're all quietly sitting back and wondering if she will indeed win, and upset their individual carts in spite and retribution. A blindly flash of course, but these people can be very, very vindictive.

#9  Is he really that naive? This administration has used subpoena as toilet paper for years to avoid tough questions. Bill should use his bully pulpit to get every one of his viewers to vote against Hillary no matter how imperfect the Republican candidate is on this or that issue. That is the only way we'll see an investigation. And judging by past performance that may not even be enough because the Republicans love to play nice with those that have declared them evil and lied and vilified them for decades.

#8  Do I get a Master of the Obvious award if I point out to Mr. O'Reilly that the FBI will never investigate as long as the DOJ is in the hands of the crooks?

#7  The Clintons do believe you can buy the presidency. Bill [O'Reilly}, you should read, if you haven't, the recent book about the gnawing away and destruction of a Republic from within by Peter Schweizer entitled "Clinton Cash." It is about a power couple who feel they are entitled but immune from the laws for the rest of us little people.

#6  Obviously, you missed the bus Bill. It's an oligarchy. Denial is not a river in Egypt. However, they need to keep the rubes compliant, so help them by not stating the obvious.

#2  The criminal or felony bypass + circumvention = "sanctity" of the electoral process, thus by extension the US Constitution itself, was what the Monica Lewinsky affair + Bill Clinton's impeachment was covertly truly about.

FROM NO LESS AN AUTHORITY THAN POTUS BILL HIMSELF.
