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.”

It's an opening that Trump failed to pre-empt. It's something the democrats will exploit.

Be glad that it's exposed now. Might cost your guy a few votes in the primary, but if he wins he'll have his defenses fortified by the time Hillary tries to attack.

If he can't justify his mob ties and defend them the democrats are going to have a field day and you trump supporters are going to be guilty of giving us president Clinton 2.0.

Being the governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, who suddenly loves Trump, most likely knows the Mafia very well.

If you know anything about New York, all the concrete plants that are within the legal 90 minute radius (Trust me that 90 minute radius must include traffic so it is not as big as you think) are all “mob connected”. You can’t lay a slab of concrete in New York without dealing with some sort of mob connected company.

Also if that truck arrives 91 minutes instead of 90 minutes, it gets sent back to the plant. As per code.

In the interests of fair play:

2016: No way will Cruz win the election.
2017: No way will President Cruz let all those trade deals stand.
2018: No way we going to get American industry back.

“Now think about that, on all of New York City only three concrete companies to deal with.”

That was back then.

Now there are only two concrete companies according to the owner of one of them who called in to Savage last week.

Interesting side note, he said there is only 90 minutes allowed from the time the truck leaves the yard until the concrete has to be unloaded at the job site, or the government inspectors reject it. He said 20% of the trucks are rejected because of this time limit.

At no point did Cruz say there’s going to be a line item of pay off the mob he said there may be extensive or more extensive dealings with known mob front companies but that must be to complex a thing to understand for some I guess.

Lol, so, Ted thinks a business tax return will have include a list of all vendors and subcontractors Trump might have done business with?

“Donald Trump may be hesitant to release his tax returns because of “Donald’s business dealings with the mob, with the mafia” [and...and...I also saw Trump picking his nose backstage]

Pitiable desperation.
