Leland Yee, the Kochs, and the Press
Nationalreview ^ | 3/28/2014 | Jonah Goldberg

Posted on 03/29/2014 10:31:00 AM PDT by rktman

Leland Yee, a Democratic state senator and candidate for secretary of state in California, has been a longtime champion of gun control. This week he was arrested on numerous charges, including conspiracy to deal firearms without a license and conspiracy to illegally transport firearms. Yee, a prominent foe of assault weapons, allegedly took bribes to set up a meeting between an undercover agent and an international arms dealer to broker the sale of automatic weapons and shoulder-fired missiles. A lengthy FBI affidavit also describes Yee’s ties to a Chinese triad and his desire to help out Islamist militants.

Just proves two points:
1. Watch what people do, not what they say
2. Always, follow the $$

Yee committed heinous crimes to advance his political ambitions---and to pad his political warchest. Yee is charged with seven felonies along w/ two dozen defendants accused of everything from money laundering to murder-for-hire.

Yee's co-conspirators include Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow, reputed ringleader of a Chinese criminal syndicate who posed as a "community leader" and was even honored by US Sen Dianne Feinstein.

Shrimp Boy had something Di/Fi wanted. Di/Fi's hubby made millions doing Chinese deals.As head of the Senate Intel Commiitte she has access to valuable US ntl security secrets worth big money on the global market.

UT,OH Just last week Di/Fi was whining that the CIA was looking through her computer and took documents.

==========================================================================

You couldn't find a Democrat with a more hard Left voting record than Senator Yee. Yee has a problem w/ his identity b/c the gun-runner was also an avowed gun-grabber.

================================================

YEE HAS THE PUTRID SMELL OF HYPHENATE-SOLIDARITY---voted for or sponsored the following pieces of legislation:

•Driver's licenses for illegal aliens.

•Voted to prohibit law enforcement from detaining individuals solely on immigration status.

•Voted to prohibit the impounding of the vehicles of illegal alien drivers at DUI checkpoints.

===================================================

Yee also got on his knees, puckered up and sucked-up to gays: He voted for a bill that authorizes a student to participate in any sex-segregated school programs and activities and to use facilities that correspond to the student's gender identity, whereas existing law does not authorize a student to use facilities that correspond to the student's gender identity.

================================================

FBI agents searched Yee’s state Senate office but declined to comment on the nature of their investigation. Yee was arraigned on charges of(1) conspiring to commit wire fraud and (2) arms trafficking.....and other charges, part of a sweeping public corruption case outlined by federal prosecutors.

Every official document filed by Yee needs to be scrutinized. Perjury, forgery, govt fraud, and voter fraud need to be considered. Judging from the depths he will stoop to get elected, he may have encouraged people to lie on voter registration forms, and may have falsified his own candidacy papers.

Falsifying Government Documents involves altering, changing, or modifying a document for the purpose of deception.......can also involve forgery and/or passing copies of false documents. Falsifying documents is usually done in connection with broader criminal aims, such as extortion, government fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, financing terrorism........

Al Gore reportedly left government with a net worth of less than $2 million; he’s now worth more than $200 million

Similarly, Clinton is worth half a billion.

One of the biggest problems people have when they leave office after a lifetime of public service is laundering their money into daylight.

So they write books for huge advances that no one reads. They set up foundations that receive millions in donations that probably come from their own accounts in Saudi Arabia. They accept shares in companies that are back-dated to show a tremendous rise in value. They become partners in firms for which they have no duties but are paid millions (probably their own money).

I'm not casting aspersions on any particular person; you see this dynamic with politicians in both parties. But, OK, mostly Democrats. But we could probably name a Repub or two.

The thing to remember for me is that no one bribes an ex-president. The problem is explaining later where the money came from. That requires the help of friends, allies, and lawyers. It also puts them on the hook with where ever their money was parked all those years.

This did not happen. CNN does not cover it so, it didn't happen.

No surprises there. Just the typical profile of a liberal..

I can GUARANTEE that the writers are even now working on a “Sons of Anarchy” script for this one.

These crooked Dems out there should join the writers’ union.

LOL! No doubt that the lyin’ king’s gal pal val will “request” they somehow include fauxbama care somewhere in to the script as well. “If it weren’t for fauxbama care our buddies bullet wounds would never have gotten treated.” “Thanks lyin’ king.”

Thanks rktman.

We’re going to see damage control out the keister, including the kiss and promise ignore and hope it goes away “coverage” by the Partisan Media Shills. This is another of many topics about this, sorry for this additional post.

I’d be willing to bet that if the alphabet agencies really get down and look at this clown, you’ll find the same people funding him as the people who funded Johnny Chung and his hand off of cash to Slick Willy.

You know. That work of fiction produced by the White House Communications Office of Mr. Taking money from the Indonesian bag man for the commanding general of the Red Chinese Intelligence.

INVESTIGATE! (Because the MSM surely won’t;) On the Internet, there’s no place to hide! These tyrannical leftists obviously think Conservatives are too stupid to know how to use a computer! /s;)

Obviously his support of gun “control” is meant to drive up the prices for his side business. Sen Harry Greed has shown the way by for decades using legislation to drive up or down land prices for fun and profit.

Yee? Lured? The spin begins——the FBI tapes dont sound like Yee was “reluctant” to do this-—that Chow “lured” him in.

Good chance Yee has done this before.....he had the contacts and the price lined up, and all the rationales at his fingertips.

I’ve seen all of the SOA shows and am avidly awaiting the next season. This whole Yee thing shows how all of the SOA plots are either reality based or will come, in hindsight, to be seen to be. Certainly, none of the conspiracy theories in the show appears to be that far off the mark.

Yee’s being a gun runner and gun grabber are actually entirely consistent. As a gun grabber he tried to disarm law abiding citizens who are using their Sectond Amendment rights to defend themselves and American civilization. As a gun runner he tried to run illegal weapons (genuine assault rifles, i.e., ful auto, and rocket launchers) to his own criminal and Marxist allies, the purpose being to destroy the Second Amendment and undermine American civilization. That very destruction and undermining are exactly what the Mahdi, Moochelle, and Holder are doing, as in Fast and Furious.

I would have to believe this goes all the way back to the Clinton’s giving the Chinese our missile guidance technology in exchange for campaign contributions in the 90’s...
