Cruz: Trump tax returns may show mob connection
Politico ^ | 2/28/16 | ELENA SCHNEIDER

Posted on 02/28/2016 8:51:18 AM PST by jimbo123

Ted Cruz speculated on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that Donald Trump may be hesitant to release his tax returns because of “Donald's business dealings with the mob, with the mafia.”

“ABC, CNN, multiple news reports have reported about his some dealings with, for example, S&A Construction, which was owned by 'Fat Tony' Salerno, who is a mobster who is in jail,” Cruz said Sunday morning. “Maybe his taxes show those business dealings are a lot more extensive than has been reported.”

I owned a vending machine route about 25 years ago in NYC.

I was 22 and brash, but not brash enough to ignore the unwritten rules.

it wasn’t my job to take on crime families.

It’s easy to talk unless you have a business here.

Not only that.....

Only a malicious scum bag would speculate about a return he has never seen and about which he knows nothing.

I once knew and was a friend of a legendary defense attorney whose advice to me was:

“Never call a person a crook no matter how bad tho think he is. Just call him stupid. There is no law against being stupid.”

In other words, that is how to stay clear of slander and libel litigation.

Cruz comments on Trump not releasing his returns is equally slimy because he as an attorney would never allow a client of his to release any information or even discuss the returns so long as the audit was in progress.

I find it darn humorous the most of the Trump supporters like him because he is a street fighter a tough guy when someone else take so shot at him then theye mean and nasty. It really is funny in tragic way. And still dictated with Google Voice :-)

and you trump supporters are going to be guilty of giving us president Clinton 2.0.

As long as you also give us credit for ;

The Wall

ObamaCare gone

Muslims blocked

Strong military

Jobs

Common Core gone

Countless other good things generated by a Trump Administration

Then I'm good to 'risk' getting the blame.

Yes, it’s real funny how the only TRUE, REAL conservative in the race has shown what a great cartel member he is. Cruz has hurt the Conservative brand and he has decimated the Christian brand. Guess that’s why they call him the smartest in the group, a multitasking expert.

Cruz keeps digging his campaign into a bigger hole.

Yes he has. He's shown that he's just another ordinary politician.

That is even more amazing, now there are only two.

My Father was in the construction business and I do think there may be a time limit on concrete. Although that concrete is being rotated as it moved to the site.

I remember that Dad would only order the concrete when were ready to pour and not before.

I’ve seen this posted but I would like to read the transcript. I hope Cruz didn’t say this, leave the innuendo to Marco and the dems and their media machines like Politico.

Is there a specific line for mob pay offs on the 1040? How would you know it was to the mob? We’re talking NYC values here and every firm seems to be a front for someone else, except for waste management, they’re pure.

Yeah because the last 6 months of this has worked so well for the Anti Trump hysterics.

GO for it. More of the same may tactics from them may just end this thing in 2 weeks rather then a couple of months.

The GOP Establishment still cannot figure it out. Running The standard issue Political play book plays is WHY fewer and fewer voters are listening to Cruz/Rubio

These sort of attacks are meaningless noise to a voters who’s son is overseas on his third deployment, his grand kids go to a gang infested incompetent Public School, who sees his urban area neighborhood deserving into BLM/drug gang thuggery, has been underemployed since 2008 and is scared to death his employer is going to move his new job to Mexico any day now.

So scream on Establishment bots while the Adults keep working to save the country.
