Democrat Leland Yee arrested for gun running

[The2ndAmendment]

If the 2nd amendment extremists had their way, nothing he allegedly did would be against the law.

LOL what bullshit. Instead of damning this liberal politician who wrote bills to ban guns, used Sandy Hook and dead children as his bully pulpit. All the while trying to funnel guns, rocket launchers and money to Muslim terrorists in Africa and gangs in the US, you try to make it a right wing issue??? Wow, nice way to obfuscate the real issue, a treasonous United States Senator.

Don't forget working with Chinese gangs and Latino gangs.

I guess an anti-gun loon selling guns to criminal gangs isn't of interest.....

I got about the same response when I posted this story yesterday, so don't feel bad...


Maybe you should go with the Charlotte, MC mayor who was arrested on corruption charges after less than six months in office...

Or the NY assemblyman's office that was raided by the FBI...


Yes, both Democrats...

Yee is THE most anti-gun loon in the most anti-gun state in the union. This is about on the level of the Pope running a brothel. Or finding out Barack Obama is secretly the Grand Wizard of the KKK.

{SAN FRANCISCO -- Known for navigating the state Capitol's backrooms and this city's complicated political landscape, state Sen. Leland Yee now is accused of consorting with notorious felons, accepting money for his cash-strapped political campaigns in exchange for favors and promising undercover FBI agents he could deliver connections to international gun runners.}

Note how the leftist LA Times speaks of corruption, but avoids telling the truth that Yee was selling guns to gangs;

I'm sure most of the corrupt media will hide the fact that this anti-gun crusader was running guns.

Yes, but YouTube won't.

So are any of you righty hypocrites willing to retract your claims that the totally innocent Jindal is being set up by Obama?

Didn't think so. After all, you'd get tossed from the cult for daring to admit a Republican committed a crime.

That's why it's so much easier on the conscience to be a Democrat. We're not required by TheParty to lie or defend criminals from our own party.

Your leader is a crook they should all be prosecuted regardless of party for their corny corruption

A gun grabbing central planner wannabe that's just sure he knows what's best for everyone else turns out to be a hypocrite?

Color me shocked.

Working with San Francisco political consultant Keith Jackson, Yee used his power and influence to perform official acts in exchange for donations. On one occasion, Yee agreed to call a manager at the California Department of Public Health to urge support of a contract that was under consideration by the agency, Yee also agreed to provide an official letter of support in exchange for a $10,000 campaign donation. On another occasion, Yee agreed to introduce donors to various state legislators with influence over pending and proposed medical marijuana legislation, Yee is alleged to have done so in exchange for $11,000 in cash.

The FBI also alleges that Yee facilitated a meeting between arms dealers and undercover agents in exchange for campaign donations. The goal of the meetings was to aid the undercover agent in the purchase and importation of a large number of weapons. Yee and Jackson were involved in the trafficking conspiracy to such a degree that they even discussed the specific details of the types of weapons the undercover agent was interested in buying and importing.

That's good. Nope. You're right. You cannot make this up.

 

[The2ndAmendment]

Criminals writing gun CONTROL laws that favor CRIMINALS. Who would of thought? Time to quote myself:

There is only one logical practice of the Second Amendment, and that is that it shall not be infringed. Any other practice is an absurdity, for it contradicts the very purpose of the Second Amendment in its entirety; it is the ultimate form of popular recourse against tyranny, and thus no potential tyrants may restrict it. The Second Amendment is the Supreme Sovereign; to surrender the Second Amendment, is to surrender the sovereignty of self-government.

What an incredible week. Dozens of groups of Gun Grabbing/NSA loving Despotcrats being exposed for the scum they are. I wonder how many of the law enforcement agents are Oathkeepers? Sounds like the LEO community is fighting back. A peaceful revolution may be in the midst.

This is not just about bringing pistol and rifles into the US. Lee also said he could get rocket launchers from a Muslim rebel group. Here's a short FOX News segment:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu4si_FJqMw]California Senator Leland Yee D Facing Corruption, Gunrunning Charge Rocket Launchers - YouTube[/ame]

The same information is reported on a number of other sites, including the following:

“The San Francisco politician, referred to as “Uncle Leland” by his co-conspirators, explained to an undercover FBI agent how he could smuggle millions of dollars worth of automatic weapons into the United States from the Muslim separatist group in the Philippines, according to the FBI affidavit.

“I told him about rocket launchers and things like that,” Yee allegedly said at a March 5 meeting to arrange one weapons deal.”

“SENATOR YEE asked [Undercover Agent] to provide an inventory list of desired weapons and he would see what they can do, the affidavit states.”

“The affidavit accuses Yee of conspiracy to deal firearms without a license and to illegally import firearms including rocket launchers worth as much as $2.5M from a Muslim separatist group in the Philippines.

“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 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. He or members of his campaign staff accepted at least $42,800 in cash or campaign contributions from undercover FBI agents in exchange for carrying out the agents' specific requests, the court documents allege.

Pascua.”

If Yee is willing to do this for cash, I can only wonder what else he is willing to do.

Extreme leftist California Senator Leland Yee (D. San Francisco) is a major advocate for gun confiscation and has been behind schemes to deny civil rights to Californians such as a per bullet tax. Yee is a constant and loud voice in gun control,

Sen. Yee was arrested on Wednesday for conspiring to illegally traffic firearms to an international crime organization in return for campaign donations.

According to the FBI;

{Yee is depicted in a startling, 137-page FBI affidavit of repeatedly offering to broker illegal firearms sales in exchange for campaign contributions. He allegedly took part in dealmaking meetings with undercover agents, often arranged by San Francisco political consultant Keith Jackson, a close associate among two dozen figures charged in the case.

Yee is charged with conspiracy to traffic in firearms without a license and to illegally import firearms, and six counts of scheming to defraud citizens of honest services. Each corruption count is punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000, while the gun-trafficking count is punishable by up to five years and $250,000.

The charges are particularly shocking given that Yee has been among the state Senate's most outspoken advocates both of gun control and of good-government initiatives. }

Looks like he was trying to eliminate his competition so he could import that cheap crap from China!

Actually, it looks like he was trying to arm Muslim terrorists,

This is starting to smell a lot like treason.

Liberals are to worried about complaining that TeaParty 501c3's are donating to political campaigns and then in another thread complaining that TeaParty 501c's are not giving money to TeaParty candidates.

And 100 new threads.

 

[mamooth]

What's to say? All the Democrats want him prosecuted.

However, if the guy had been a Republican, every Republican here would be screaming his innocence to the heavens, like they do with every Republican criminal.

The two parties are wildly different in that aspect. Democrats prosecute their own, Republicans excuse their own. To a Republican, criminality is almost a prerequisite for office, corruption their birthright. God is on their side, their cause is thus holy, and thus all bad behavior is excusable in the name of the Holy Crusade.

You already have been proven wrong, but if ignorance makes you happy...
