http://www.politico.com/tipsheets/morning-tax/2016/02/trump-hearts-the-mob-212935TRUMP AND LA COSA NOSTRA?: Most days, a leading GOP presidential contender suggesting that the frontrunner might be keeping his tax returns under wraps because they showed mob ties would be the news of the day. But Sunday wasnt just any day, just as 2016 isnt just any campaign.
Still, Ted Cruz did in fact take to NBCs Meet the Press and ABCs This Week to discuss previous reports that Donald Trump had a business relationship with Fat Tony Salerno, who Cruz called a mobster who is in jail on "Meet the Press." (As far as we can tell, Salerno died in federal prison in 1992.)
Maybe his taxes show those business dealings are a lot more extensive than has been reported, Cruz said on NBC, later using a term that Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee, has used regarding Trumps tax returns. The fact that Donald seems terrified to release his taxes suggests that there's a bombshell there.
Trump himself employed a slightly new argument in his tour of the Sunday shows, saying people wouldnt learn that much from his returns and that hes already filed detailed financial information with the Federal Election Commission.

for 35 years or more... especially construction and real estate... you most certainly have run across / done business with the Mafia at some point.
Not making any excuses... but it's a near certainty.

would be if he had given money to PBS.
He could have deducted the costs for hit men and none of them would care.
