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.”

So then any businessman who does business in NY, MA, IL, FL or CA should be ruled out as a candidate.

Please note that Trump has not been accused to taking money or being controlled by the mob.

Read up on Rubio and the dealings he has with the Miami mob.

There is a difference.

As for NY, get real. When you pay the garbage collector, you have just paid money to the mob. Are you going to take the stand that everyone in NYC who has a garbage can is a member of the mob?

So, you disagree with Reagan with he said,: “Government is not the solution to our problems, government is our problem”?

It’s all these geniuses with vast experience in government who’ve put us in the situation we are now in. But you think we need more of the same, more lawyers with PoliSci undergrad degrees?

If it was the 1980’s you did business with the mob in NYC

Rudy took care of that

Building trades and teamsters were know mob activities

The funny things is people think Indians really own all the delis. Maybe in name :)”

People think that Indians own all the Indian casinos, too. We live in a nation with very deluded, very belligerent and aggressive over-aged children.

I’m from NYC too and my 1st husband had ‘mob’ connections. He delivered meat to restaurants. Guess who the wholesale meat distributors are.

You mean the whole GOPe was in on it and even Trump is in on it? Trump even says no one will get along with Cruz. It’s a conspiracy of conspiracy. So if Trump is in on it too...will he be endorsing cruz soon?

Cruz stands for the wall?

Where was he last summer while Trump was taking endless heat for announcing he was going to build a wall?

I’ll tell you where he was, he was hiding in a corner, finger in the air to see which way the wind was blowing.

When it became clear that The Wall was a winning issue, Cruz quietly whispered “me too”.

I apologize for the misunderstanding.

As for name calling... Consider it my critique on Trumps performance in the last debate. He had absolutely no clue what he stood for.

The bastards who are losing are coming forward to say anything they can to derail Trump but connecting him to the “mob” is really reaching. Trump has been audited how many times and the IRS STILL hasn’t come up with anything? Using the old Clinton tactic of throwing something against the wall hoping it will stick is a sign of total desperation.

Cruz is merely give trump a taste of how own medicine, but clearly trump should release his returns to dispel any lingering doubts.

It is an established face that trump bought his first Atlantic City property from the head of the philly mob at an above market price.

both sides attacking each other.

As for his Taxes... He will, he is just getting FREE TV time. LOL

Note... he has been audited many times, no surprise there, by the wonderful IRS. usually that means IF there are any mistakes made they are adjusted correctly.

This is just... mud slinging as usual.

Might cost your guy a few votes in the primary

My guy? I don't have a guy.

I just despise innuendo politics, no matter who does it.
