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.”

LOL! Sure, every mafia guy reports Mob revenue on their taxes. That wouldn’t be a red flag whatsoever. Maybe it shows Martian connections too. I would be shocked to learn if Trump is a billionaire...

You never know. Cruz may be shopping this story for Trump so it will get poo pooed early and Hillary can’t stab him with it later. Time will tell. What amazes me is all the political armchair quarterbacking done when we know nothing of the cloak room meetings with all these bad paid actors. This season has taught me one thing, it is all really bad theatre and I wouldn’t trust any of them with my daughter, my money or my cat if I had one. They all have said too many WORDS to be believed at this point.

Because Trump would list the Mafia as a vendor?

Cruz is suppose to be smart and a lawyer but he keeps proving he is an idiot.

I’m very happy to see that those who live by the motto trump uber alles also have failed at basic reading comprehension skills. 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. Dictated with Google Voice

And I'm very happy to see Cruz is showing himself to be an idiot poser many had suspected him to be. Typed by Datriker Eh!

Teddy the Tool, his new “mob” name, thinks the mob writes checks? What a numbskull. Anyone who would vote for this Gantry needs a head examination, right STAT.

I feel exactly the same way. But I’ll likely show up on election day.

Nine months ago I was a Cruz supporter.
Six months ago I supported Trump but would have enthusiastically voted for Cuz.
One month ago I would have reluctantly voted for Cruz.
Today, if Cruz is the nominee, I stay home.

My own timeline is pretty close to that.

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

Hmmm...and I guess it would be rather easy to delay a competitor's truck, if that competitor isn't connected. Just "stall" some old car that "happens" to be in front of the truck.

I have no doubt there are mob connections but I am thinking it is more him being a victim of mob demands for pay offs. it is impossible in new York and jersey to do construction with out theses kinds of connections.

Judging by the anger and excuses on this thread it’s a highly effective attack.

I’ve been saying from the start that Trump supporters have co-opted the tools of the left. This thread proves it.

What Ted has done in small ball compared to what the Dems will do with the same info.

Post convention when the daggers are drawn expect hour long specials on tv about his mob ties.

Moonbat? This comes from mainstream news:

Amazing how lazy Freepers have become with google these days.

Why wouldn’t Cruz name drop Romney? It should be of no surprise to anybody that the guy with the perfect GOP establishment resume, who has been an insider at the highest level of the GOP for almost 20 years and who married a fellow GOP insider, CFR member and Goldman Sachs executive is an establishment hack after all. Color me shocked. /s
