Trump also offered a glimpse into his potential administration, a reign that would jail Clinton and the law firm that helped delete emails from her private server, and would include an investigation into the Justice Department investigation that ultimately cleared her of criminal wrongdoing.
But Trump signaled that such things are unlikely to happen — not because that’s now how the federal government operates — but because the political establishment is working to elect Clinton over him.
“Look, we’re in a rigged system, folks. This is a rigged, rigged system,” Trump said Wednesday during an afternoon rally in Ocala, Florida.
The real estate mogul lamented Republicans and Democrats in Congress for not doing enough. He recommended that the next Congress pass a bill to address Clinton’s email scandal. Simply put, he added, he’s embarrassed that Congress has allowed Clinton to run for president after committing “crime at the highest level.”
