For the past decade there have been allegations of links between Donald Trump and the mafia including both New York and Philadelphia crime families. These possible mob links have been the focus of past news paper reports along with government records. According to some including NY investigative journalist Wayne Barrett the connections between Trump and the mafia are rather extensive. In his book "Trump: The Deals and the Downfall by Barrett, Wayne 1st edition (1992) Hardcover," he claims that Trump went out his way not to avoid but increase ties with organized crime influence in the New York and New Jersey construction industry in the 80's and 90's.
According to records Trump Plaza the Atlantic City Casino built by Trump sits on land purchased from former Philadelphia mobster Salvatore Testa. Barrett notes in his book that the property was purchased by Testa in 1977 for a scant $195,000 and was then sold to Trump in 1982 for a whopping $1.1 million.

Trump was part of a 1979 bribery investigation and then a 1981 racketeering probe neither of which led to any kind of charges according to records. None of the possible links between Donald Trump and the mob have ever been substantiated past their basic business ties by law enforcement or anyone else to date. There is no doubt that much of the time Trump did business in the construction industry in both New York and New Jersey that contact with mob controlled companies was almost unavoidable. But it is certain that as Trump's run to become President of the United States in the 2016 election becomes more extensive so will the scrutiny of these allegations.

In 1986, after a dramatic 10-week trial that helped establish the use of racketeering statutes against the mob, Mr. Salerno and seven other defendants were convicted of operating the "commission" that ruled the Mafia throughout the United States. He was sentenced to 100 years on the conviction.
In his final trial, Mr. Salerno was convicted in 1988 for a scheme to allocate contracts and obtain payoffs for constructing the concrete superstructures of 16 Manhattan buildings, including the Jacob J. Javits Convention Center, Trump Plaza and a residence for the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. He was sentenced to 70 years on that conviction.

I hear its a big thing.
In other news it has been conclusively proven that Trump was the other JFK shooter on the grassy knoll on Nov 22, 1962.
Additionally evidence is massing that Trump masterminded the 911 attacks, personally piloted one of the jets, and ejected just before crashing into the Tower.
He needs to clear this up BFORE the general election.
And we STILL have not seen Batman and Donald Trump together!
Nostalgic Dems will crossover in droves!!
Go Trump!

Hey... I am just doing TRUMP a favor... Like Trump is doing CRUZ a favor....
So tell me what does it have to do with Trump if Salerno muscled the concrete contractor ? I’m sure you’re a tremendous investigator but isn’t it obvious that if Trump had done anything wrong he’d have been laid low by all the NY or NJ Atty Gens since the middle of the friggin 1980’s?
tl;dr
IF he attacks CRUZ? Well. that changes things....TRUMP is now fair game.
NY/NJ mob can bring a lot of votes to the polls.
And furthermore, Christie, as Governor of NJ and former U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, would know of any ties and would have exposed Trump last summer.
Cuomo Mafioso
The Democrats and Republicans should just call themselves The Uniparty.
They are all involved in the picking and choosing which laws to obey, giving judges and agency heads law making privileges, and overturning voter approved laws.
For a sanctuary city like Los Angeles to exist would require the city council, the mayor, the police chief, the city attorney, the governor, the state attorney general, the federal courts, the California Supreme Court, the United States Supreme Court, the attorney general of the United States, and the president to work against the people in Unisom. Any one of those links in the chain could have broken a sanctuary city. But the links are all strong no matter who is in charge, Republican or Democrat and they have been for 30 years.
Now for this to happen, something has to have happened that threatened them. Maybe it was Vladimir Putin and how all of his critics simply die, or maybe it is how the cartels kill your loved ones. My bet is on exposing online searches, Google, Microsoft and the NSA. Maybe all our politicians searched for little boys or little girls.
Something made them all tow the line.
