Unless he has evidence, Cruz needs to keep his mouth shut on this.

I’m a Cruz guy but he’s looking more and more desperate with charges like this.

Although even if it’s proven to be true, it won’t dissuade the Trumpers, anyways

Does Cruz really think Trump would report financial transactions with the mob? Surely the public, even Texas, will see what a creep Cruz is.

Chuck Todd was taken aback by the claim. Pretty funny scene to watch.

Cruz: “Maybe”????

And this is the best this brilliant lawyer can come up with, by accessing good state-of-the-art 13th century argument?

You don’t report any transactions on your tax return. You report income. If you’re doing a Sched C, you put in various categories of money like revenue, inventory, and expenses. In no case do you mention any specific transactions, you just give the totals..
