Gun-Banning CA Senator Busted For Weapons Trafficking
Filed under 'most ironic story of the day', California Senator Leland Yee, who authored gun control legislation, has been busted by the FBI for conspiracy to deal firearms without a license and to illegally import firearms. As AP reports, Yee is also accused of accepting tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions and cash payments to provide introductions, help a client get a contract and influence legislation. House of Cards much?
Federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment against state Sen. Leland Yee in court Wednesday, accusing him of conspiring to commit wire fraud and traffic firearms.
In all, 26 people, including former school board president Keith Jackson, were indicted on charges related to an extensive crime ring headed by well-known Chinatown figure Raymond Chow, who was also arrested and charged Wednesday.
The indictment alleges Yee and Jackson defrauded "citizens of honest services" and were involved in a scheme to traffic firearms in exchange for thousands in campaign donations to the senator.
Federal prosecutors also allege Yee agreed to perform official acts in exchange for the money, including one instance in which he introduced a businessman to state legislators who had significant influence over pending medical marijuana legislation. In exchange, the businessman -- who was actually an undercover FBI agent -- agreed to donate thousands to Yee's campaign fund, according to the indictment.
...
and the Gun-Control-legislating Senator explained in the sting...
Yee discussed helping the agent get weapons worth $500,000 to $2.5 million, including shoulder-fired missiles, and explaining the entire process of acquiring them from a Muslim separatist group in the Philippines to bringing them to the U.S., according to the court document by FBI agent Emmanuel V. Pascua.
Yee said he was unhappy with his life and told the agent he wanted to hide out in the Philippines, according to the affidavit.
"There's a part of me that wants to be like you," he told the undercover agent, according to the affidavit. "You know how I'm going to be like you? Just be a free agent there."
his character was re-elected after some of these allegations came to light... we assume as long as American Idol is on and the EBT cards still work, voting for the status quo is all that matters... but when do 'the people' of America go "Venezuelan" or "Ukrainian" or 'postal'

Classic.
They will only go postal when the EBT stops.
Peak hypocrisy.
"Peak hypocrisy."
The best comment you've every posted.
Just a thought experiment:
Let's say he was a black man, and needed those weapons to keep the crackers away from their polling place...
Gun grabbing elitiests only want to ban US from having them... while they and their body guards stay well armed. Is really is an 'us versus them' type of gun-grabbing, typical of tyrants of the recent and ancient past.
Feel good story of the year!
@ 12Tooth,
you can't make this shit up anymore. They're all "in on the take" these Criminals are.
Yes We Con!
Do as I say, not as I do. This has always been the motto of those who aspire to power, and always will be. They will always want us to be powerless, and it is why they can have my weapons when they pry them from my cold dead hands.

Yee Olde Switcheroo!
The guy hates America, wants to move to Asia, and thinks bringing rocket launchers into the US is his ticket out of the US. Yet Californians vote for him because he provides free government benefits.
This is why the US has been screwed for a long time. CEOs of our companies are the same.
He screw you longtime.
From the good Doctor's website:
After serving four years in the California State Assembly, Leland Yee was elected to the State Senate in November 2006 with the largest winning percentage for any Democratic candidate. In 2010, Senator Yee was re-elected, receiving the most votes of any Democratic legislator in the State. Representing District 8, which includes San Francisco and San Mateo County, Yee is the first Chinese American ever elected to the California State Senate.
Just in case anybody was wondering whether he was a Democrat. Of course he is, you can tell by the fact the reports don;'t mention aprty affiliation. Had he been a Repub, that would have been in the headline. BTW the doctorate's in Child Psychology.

In Carifonia, Chinaman gun control outlaw YOU.
It's spellt outraw. :-)
By writing the gun control laws he could eliminate the competition to his "side" business.
With great authority comes great responsibility. Penalties should be tripled for any elected official who breaks the law. (They're only doubled for speeding in a work zone) Then let's see who runs for office.
Breaking the law makes triple penalties on people who are responsible for making the law. Don't think that is going to work out how you are hoping.
Heck, I'd be satisfied if law was applied in the same way as us serfs. How many congressional exclusions are there these days?
This is just absolutely incredible to me. Absolutely incredible. He wants to move to the Phillipines?
I wonder why the FBI is busting 2 Dem's at the same time. Could it be we still have a few friends in DC?
It's a better than even money bet that the most strident Anti-whatever is balls deep in the whatever.
Vocally Anti Gun? Has several at home, likely illegal, or is running guns.
Anti Child Porn Crusader? Several thousand nudes of small boys, many discrete trips to Thailand, and an odd smell wafting from the crawl space...
Happens so often that were I a cop or FBI I'd IMMEDIATELY start probing any social crusader; there seems to be a basic brain mechanism be it guilt or brazen ploy to cover up their evil that drives the criminals to advocate against whatever activity they are engaged in.

WTF!!...:o)
The Dude Abides. And re-posts while he waits.
What the fuck are you talking about? The Chinaman is not the issue here, Dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand,
Dude. Across this line, you do not … also, Dude, "Chinaman" is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.
Give him a fair trial....followed by a fair hanging.
Who Fonestar ??
I'll FedEx the rope!!
oh no, this fucker deseerves nothin but the best!
hemp rope
No, no ,no. He is chinese it should be a bullet to the back of the head and send the bill for the bullet to his widow.
Who is Fonestar?
He's just a Man, but a man of core belief and vision.
He is a poster's poster. Watch him and learn....
Yee is innocent of gun running in the same way that the CIA is innocent of managing the international illicit drug trade.
Waiting for the Pete Townsend defense ;
"I was only running guns to help my gun running investigation."
Love pete, but he was clearly messed with. I just hope he didn't act on the pattern.
"I was only running guns to help my gun running investigation."
what investigation? to see how many minutes it takes a high profile political figure to get caught running guns after talking openly on a phone?
Could it be that this is just a Chinese version of fast and furious. Anyone check to see if Eric Holder is involved?
Due to courtroom delays, the hanging will come first.
Malaysia jails that Ibrahim guy for sodomy....... we take it up the chute from these bastards every day .... why we no get our day in court???
No, someone's going to top that again next month. Only if there's real public outrage will a peak be near.
It's only hypocritical if you assume politicians are people of virtue. Senator Leland Yee was merely trying to restrict supply to keep prices for his goods high.
Only for that we know of
He is not an exception, he is the rule - just not of law!
Leland 'Gun Holder' Yee. Anyone else see a pattern?
NuclearSquid - love your god damn name! - I wonder if you considered UraniumOctopus
This douchebag is one of the reasons I have to use a bullet button on my AR10.
How wonderful it is to read such things.
it's different for him because he has the right to protect himself against his voters who think they live in a constitunial republic.
But wait, there's more!
Keith Jackson, cited below, has some heavy duty esplanin' to do too. He once held a job for four days, tracking down deadbeat dad, while being behind in his own child support payments. I guess he understood the psychological make-up of those he was hunting down. Jackson is being charged with murder for hire in this case.
In all, 26 people, including former school board president Keith Jackson, were indicted on charges related to an extensive crime ring headed by well-known Chinatown figure Raymond Chow, who was also arrested and charged Wednesday.
Everyone understands that the word "China" itself means "center of the universe".
The chinese (in any and all countries) are very focused on acheiving one goal.
This is not some conspiracy theory, this is their culture folks.
(look they invented "paper money", they understand corruption better than anyone on earth).
It is what it is.
Well then. The fur's gonna' fly when they bump up against the jihadists.
Well then. The fur's gonna' fly when they bump up against the Zionists.
There, fixed it for ya.
Same thing. eh?

On the short ist for most ironic story of the year and its only Q1
"If you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns".....hmmmmm.... sounds about right....
I am soooo shocked! Who woulda thought criminals in politics?
You are ALL shit and I hope you rot in hell!

What does he have to do with this?
He/she must be about ready to excrete another unreadable book.
Say is there any news on what Mann's been doing with his minglestick lately?
So happy to see this prick get caught at something. He's been a thorn in the side of law abiding California gun owners for so long, I hope he spends at least a few hours locked up so any 2nd amendment loving cell mate can bloody his bunghole.
Makes you wish John Holmes was still alive and in jail.
I'd agree to fund the Viagra.
Miffed;-)
Add Dying feinslime and Barbara Boxlicker.
You cannot make this shit up.
Yee should have known better. When it comes to gun running, the govt doesn't tolerate competition. Ask holder or the CIA.
this was just his "interview" to replace Holder.
"Previous Experience Required"
Yee got busted because he was encroaching on a Skull and Bones racket and wasn't Skull and Bones. If you flub the grip and pass, the FBI attacks!
He was only buying them for FEMA
Let me get the facts straight.
Arm yourselves.
no, that was his source.
and explaining the entire process of acquiring them from a Muslim separatist group in the Philippines to bringing them to the U.S.,
WTF?????? A corrupt, hypocritical politician???? Unbelievable! Can't possibly happen here!!! He must have been set up..... but, then too bad it wasn't the fudge packer in chief...
Fuck you Feinstein and all of your criminal buds ...
Wow, a crooked Senator... Pass the fairy dust.
Fairy dust, did Obama dust himself off?
Ewwww. Feinstein....ewwww. I am skipping breakfast now thanks.
The standard "do as I say, not as I do" politiwhore.
A bent klepto politician
Whocouldanode?
Excellent and important article, however I feel there is no irony here at all. This is typical behavior from a lawbreaking criminal.
Also, recall the Obama/Holder attempt to run guns into Mexico so as to impugn the second amendment.
America, wake the fuck up and realize one crucial truth: someone who is trying to disarm you is not your friend.
Politicians give lawbreaking criminals a bad name.
I'd also say typical behavior for the power hungry sociopath. It would be interesting if someone did some statistical analysis on the frequency of lawbreaking by those who push the laws in the first place. I'd wager there is a large overrepresentation.
Make it illegal and add another zero to your profits! That worked in Prohibition, and it's still working in Narco rackets.
Feinstein, wants to know what's everyone's problem here ????
Maybe Feinstein had the FBI investigate the "competition" moving in on her turf?
I know what our problem is; Feinstein and her wunderkind elected brethren. I really hope these fuckers get their necks stretched one day.
Where can I get in on some of that shoulder fired missile goodness? The cops have tanks FFS. The least I can do is have a couple of RPG-29 vampirs handy when TSHTF.
They mainly have Bearcats and MRAPs. I'm going to give you two ideas to combine:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBSc9ZXWAuw (Watch the whole thing to the end where they destroy a car because it's old, it's white and it's French.)
Good thinking. You get a +1 just for the mayhem video.
Well it did mention a Muslim separatist group in the Phillippines... but good luck searching online for that without ending up in Gitmo or someplace similar.
"shoulder-fired missiles" WTF?
I can see Democratic terrorists like Yee giving these to gangs and getting them to shoot down jets flying into SF Int'l Airport and LAX.
As Fred Sanford said, "There ain't nothin uglier than an old white woman."
Typical Politician.....wow..what a two faced liar
They are known as lying, thieving cunts for a reason...
Did you catch the part about shoulder-fired missiles? This is no typical politician. This is an EXTRODINARY politician.
Was that written intentionally to sound like the big boss from Enter the Dragon?
What was that, an exhibition?
"but when do 'the people' of America go "Venezuelan" or "Ukrainian" or 'postal'"
You answered already
"as long as American Idol is on and the EBT cards still work"
Always, always, always, those who "warn" you about the dangers of any criminal behavior are doing so because they are experts of that criminal behavior...
My god, this is one of those humanistic behavioral truths that is as old as time...
LOP, this can be applied to so many things besides criminal activity as well. "Experts" warning about fats and promoting a high grain diet. Warning about depression and promoting pills that cause increases in suicides and violent behavior. Warning women they'll die of breast cancer without a mammogram. I have come to the conclusion EVERY proclamation is just an excuse for either an increase in income stream or a squelching of competition. We see it as hypocrisy, they see just a way of life on the chess board.
Miffed;-)

Crusaders tend to rail against their own projections of themselves. There are plenty of examples, such as the former chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children.
So...who was paying him to be so anti-gun?

Great link! And so much better than making a jooooo rant on the current website. As that may get you expelled. Thanks dude!! The more we can present the truth to our brethren whom are in a stupor, the better off we will be.
TPTB would rather have their backwater types shooting pessants with bats and pitchforks than an armed populace. That is who is behind the American disarmament movement.
jury of peers-death by firing squad!
Whatever happened to California falling into the ocean? I'd much rather swim than deal with these assholes who run this state.
Crazy right wing teapartiers...
What?
oh.
nevermind..
disclosure: Not a tea partier...
but, to combat these fuckers, maybe we need "moar" folks privately armed? Scary shit, really.
A hypocrite on the take; say it aint so!
in cali they would re-elect him
correction... WILL Re-elect him, as soon as he gets out of jail with a wrist slap from a libtard judge.
Duh! This is Cali; HE'S THE VICTIM!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA...
No political affiliation mentioned in the excerpts of the article so you know this arsehole is a hypocritical libtard. School board president? Another libtard. LOL Supplying the chilren with weapons for some Sandyhook action.
typical fascist, authoritarian scumbag just like the rest of them who think: The rules are for thee, and not for ME...or apparently Leland YEE!!!
FUCK YOU, LELAND YEE!!! I hope you get buried.
Just another M.U.T.A.N.T.S. asshole criminal fraud scumbag amongst 1000's in our corrupt "government" cess pool.

Oddly, the local news here in the SF Bay Area is bending over backwards to avoid mentioning the political party of Senator Yee. (Not that there is all that much difference.)
I thought they bent over forwards in SF?
Hey now,not all of us in the Bay Area bend that way.
Yeah, they need to make the switch from the "two Party" system. Make it the "too Party" system, the other Party is a crooked lying piece of shit too.
A California Lawyer's exposiiton on exactly that point:

Just 'cause you don't need to have guns don't mean I can't have guns. You're an idiot. Not me. I'm a Senator.
Typical California Democrat.
They platform on a World of Equals, where they are just a little bit more equal than everyone else.
Might as well be a member of the Chinese Communist Party.
Or a TBTJ Director.
Hang'em high.
Let the prison ass-raping commence...
I hope is prison name is 'Hol Yee Fuk'
You have it backwards. Should be -

Did this guy watch Gleaming the Cube when he was younger?

Welcome to Dirtyfuckerville, have a nice day.
smart guy, trying to corner the market.
Oh how I despise these people, but the assholes that keep these fuckers in office just because the have a D or an R in front of their name are even more vile and despicable group of people.
He knows how to get a shoulder fired rocket launcher from a Mooselim separatist movement? WTF?!?!
Meanwhile, the good people of Kalifornia can't have a measely semi-auto AR-15? Why does this stuff even amaze me anymore?
Yea - and get into the country.
I'm guessing he knows which cargo containers get inspected and which ones dont!
^^ THIS COMMENT IS KEY TO UNDERSTANDING HOW IT ALL WORKS +1000
Or may be someone pissed at him put a Molon Labe sticker on his car when he wasn't looking.
Miffed;-)
Actually, he is not hypocritical in the least. Just a businessman trying to work the angles. First you ban the guns. This results in a shortage of cheap weaponry for criminals to have access to. Now you are free to import them illegally and command a much higher price for your goods. Dupont did it when they had congress ban freon R-12 (over the supposed ozone hole bullshit) only to have it replaced with the only legal substitute at 4 times the price, specifically R-134A. How convenient that R-12 no longer had patent protections at this time and could be cheaply manufactured royalty free by anyone and just as convenient, it's replacement R-134A was recently patented by the very company that supported the banning of R-12 in the first place, namely Dupont. It's all about the money, people.
True, the real problem lies with people who either do not have the knowledge or don't care to deal with the problem when they do. I remember the freon ban and I was for it for the public reasons stated. Then, years later, I found out I was duped and there was nothing I could do about it. Same thing with incandescent light bulbs. It goes on an on. Until enough people are willing push back and not be forever distracted will things ever change. Comfort lulls one into dangerous tranquility.
Miffed ;-)
He constantly talked a heap of shit about "the evil of videogames"
I wonder if, after his prison sentence, he'll be a spokesman on "the evil of unwanted anal sex" ?
again "we have hanging judges in America." lawlessness and anarchy does not go over too well in Ye olde USA.
forget "special prosecutors." you could see special tribunals to see if any of these matters are linked up to issues related to domestic terrorism and what Lincoln called "an insurrection."
this stuff is really "out there." it's really hard to believe it's even real it's so out there.
The entire legal industry is cartelized. In fact it was among the first industries to be cartelized in the Progressive Era.
They are fed from the hands of the Yee's of the nation.
The most you could expect from them is a slap on the wrist, and more likely an Orwellian promotion of the injustice of accusing such an eminent figure.
To get a genuine verdict you'd have to compose a court entirely from outside the Cartel.
