Well, both Clinton and Trump have been widely linked to crime but neither have been arrested or convicted of anything. The same is true for their family members.

But, my favorite related to us here at EE, on a politifact website:

Mob control a ‘fact of life’

Before we detail Trump’s alleged ties, none of this proves that Trump was happy doing business with the mafia or even in cahoots with them at all.

La Cosa Nostra had a virtual monopoly on concrete in New York at the time Trump was adding his name to its skyline in the 1980s. And the mafia’s control over building supplies and labor unions meant that the crime families had a hand in most construction projects in Manhattan.

Trump and other major developers "had to adapt to that situation" or build elsewhere, said James B. Jacobs, a mafia expert who was part of a state task force on organized crime.

"That was the fact of life, that was the way it was," he told PolitiFact. "The contractors and developers weren’t pure victims. You could bribe the mob-controlled union leaders and get relief from the more arduous conflicts. But we had no information that Trump was any different."

So, let's face it. LCN has created some real problems for Trump as a presidential candidate. I think Trump would disavow any support for LCN if he becomes president and we can all attack them at will.
