Anti-gun CA Sen. Leland Yee arrested by FBI

[ryan_j]

Michael Savage said an anonymous FBI agent called in off air and said that this was just the beginning. I would take that with a grain of salt but I hope it's true!

Probably not a good idea to associate with someone by the name of 'shrimp boy'

 

[BigBossMan]

Yes. And who knows where else he may have risen to after that. California government in and of itself is a big deal when one considers that one out of every seven Americans lives there.

Do well in a large state level office, then a run for Federal one isn't unreasonable either.

The more I read the complaint, the more my stomach churns.

 

[ryan_j]

Been reading the news stories on this....funny how there have been quite a few California politicians getting nailed for corruption and other crimes....hopefully they will eventually pin something on Feinstein....now that would truly make my day....

Her and boxer... And pelosi

 

[BigBossMan]

Is it April 1st?

Have to admit, that was my first thought.

lol No way. I'm not trying to get tarred & feathered and lynched. I like it here.

This asshat tried to get Rush thrown off the air for mimicking the Chi Com Premier.

laughable

 

[Sharpeneddark]

And they say that they need proof that there is a God...well...here ya go!

 

[Bisondice]

They just said he was trafficking guns

 

[ken792]

Go to page 94. Yee says:

"People want to get whatever they want to get. Do I care? No I don't care. People need certain things."

Sounds like he is admitting gun control doesn't work.

... and 3 of every 10 illegals

ba-dum-TISHH

 

[TyFromMD]

What does the "sealed by court order" stamp on the first page mean?

 

[traveller]

That complaint is pretty rich. Also shows pretty clear how the 'medical cannabis' initiative in CA was bought and paid for by organized crime.

I wonder who 'senator 1' is

 

[monkey]

Is this the same shrimp boy that was on the gangland documentary about triads?

 

[Rack&Roll]

YEE-Ha!

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST CA SENATOR
SUGGEST HYPOCRISY OF ANTI-GUNNERS[/FONT]​

[FONT=&quot]BELLEVUE, WA – Criminal charges announced in San Francisco federal court Wednesday afternoon against anti-gun California State Sen. Leland Yee and several others shows the contemptible nature of the gun prohibition movement, because among the allegations is one that he was involved in a conspiracy to traffic firearms, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] “If these allegations are true,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “Sen. Yee is easily the biggest hypocrite on gun control to walk the halls of the capitol in Sacramento, if not the entire United States.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] The complaint alleges that Sen. Lee conspired with two other men, identified as Keith Jackson, a political consultant, and Dr. Wilson Sy Lim, to traffic in firearms. “The 137-page complaint is simply staggering,” Gottlieb added. “Here’s a prominent anti-gun Democrat state senator allegedly involved in a gun trafficking scheme, among other alleged crimes that include wire fraud and dealing firearms without a license. And this guy has spent a considerable amount of energy in the California legislature trying to deny law-abiding Californians of their gun rights.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] The gun trafficking scheme allegedly involved activities in the Philippines, with the cash to be broken up into “legitimate campaign donations,” according to the court documents.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] “It is hard to fathom this kind of activity on a scale as massive as these court documents allege,” Gottlieb said. “If Sen. Yee and his fellow defendants are convicted, they’re going to wind up in one of the biggest gun-free zones in the country, a federal prison.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]

Man... I saw NOTHING on this on the morning national news. This morning it was all Malaysia Airlines, Washington mudslide, Boston fires. How can the media hope to keep this one silent. Don't tell me these folks don't have an agenda and aren't actively trying to shape events. This should be front-page, above the fold, bold-face news!

Tip of the iceberg.

Time for the people to start demanding fingerprinting, and background checks for anyone who wants to run for office.

Exactly! If this jackass had an R next to his name you can bet it would be handled differently.

No mention of Yee. There is a story about another corrupt democrat politician (down at #15), but trying to sell machine guns and rocket launchers doesn't make the cut. I searched the CNN site and the most recent article I found that mentions Leland Yee is from 2011. MS-NBC pretty much gave nothing either (although oddly enough they also reported on Mayor Patrick Cannon and listed him as a Republican... although everything else I've seen shows him as a democrat).

I started to question my own sanity at this point and did some google-fu and sure enough San Jose Mercury News has it pretty much right. Bias in the national media... what bias?? <Insert raspberry here>

Even more disturbing, if you click on politics or justice tab on CNN it doesn't show there either. And if you search CNN for Leland Yee the first article to pop up is a 2011 meet and greet. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
