Sen. Ted Cruz speculated Sunday that Republican presidential rival Donald Trump might be delaying the release of his tax returns because of possible ties with the mob.

"Maybe it is the case that Donald, there have been multiple media reports about Donald's business dealings with the mob, with the mafia," Cruz said on "Meet the Press."

"Maybe his taxes show those business dealings are a lot more extensive than has been reported," he added.

Cruz repeated the suggestion on ABC's "This Week," seemingly stunning host George Stephanopoulos.

"Business dealings with the mafia?" Stephanopoulos asked, incredulously.

This type of rumor-mongering is what Republicans denounced Democrats for doing.

What? There is an IRS form for financial ties with the Mob? Or is Cruz pointing out loans with his wife’s employer GS? ; )

FWIW Organized crime has a long history of inserting itself in the labor movement. That being said does not implicate Trump.

At least with certain towns the mob controlled, like where I live now, they kept law and order until the 1970s, from what I’ve been told. After they were broken up, it turned into a meth-head/hard drugs center, with police not showing up to most property and other crimes anymore. They say there are not enough of them and that people just have to file their own reports.

Anyway, I dream of a time when law and order was more dominant.

The whole plan has been disrupted by Trump; but also Trump will have the delegates and 8 state minimum by the time this is over.

I heard a joke on a cruise this past January and it got a standing ovation. Here goes:

What is the difference between the Mob and the Federal Government?

One of them is organized.

AWESOME!

There is an IRS form for financial ties with the Mob?

LOL! Deduction on Schedule A. Mob payments in excess of 10% of adjusted gross income.

I agree, that is why I believe Trump purpose is to expose the truth and that is what is happening. I love both Trump and Cruz, however I was on the fence with Cruz when learning that his wife was a member of CFR, worked for Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sach and played a role in the North American Future task force. That too me is a RED FLAG! I know perhaps Cruz beliefs is different than Heidi’s but we can’t take a chance. I always ponder if Ted Cruz is an insider who is playing the part of an outsider. For him now to support his “friend” Rubio is very telling and now this about Donald’s tax returns and having mob ties really show his true colors.

The Mob ain't stupid. They would not accept more than 9.5% of your adjusted gross income. If you paid more, they kill you. They don't like paper trails leading the IRS to them.

I read a post, on another thread, that described CRuzio, perfectly....

CRuz is the establishment’s ‘anti-establishment’ operative.

I believe he’s a Bush supporter from way back....and that his stripes haven’t changed. The faux Bush/establishment attacks on him are just for show...taqqiya, if you will.
