Beginning in early 2011, state Sen. Leland Yee repeatedly solicited bribes to fund his San Francisco mayor and California secretary of state campaigns, according to the FBI agents who brought him down last month.
But he appears to have devoted more time and energy to a far more lucrative pursuit: crafting or carrying legislation benefiting special interests who supply campaign contributions. It's a practice that's all too common in Sacramento, but Yee was a master.
:snip:
Yee introduced 20 bills from 2011 to 2014 that advanced a special interest over the public interest, according to this newspaper's review of his legislative record. Eleven were sponsored or written by lobbyists, a practice where Yee excelled. He and Ron Calderon, D-Montebello, also indicted on bribery charges this year, were among the three most prolific senators from 2007-2010 in terms of sponsored bills that benefited private or corporate interests, according to a 2010 investigation by the Bay Area News Group.

I swear that the demodummies have a special “training school” to teach all within their ranks on the fine art of
corruption
Hope they both end up in prison.
And what was the Murky News doing during that time?
Lauding him, shilling for him,running cover for him.
All because he was Not White, which in their world makes him Saintly and God like.
Regardless of the fact that he’s utterly, criminally and viciously corrupt.
BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM
Socialism Is Legal Plunder - “The Law”; Frederic Bastiat 1801-1850
CONFISCATE the assets of Yee, HIS family, HIS children, HIS grandchildren, HIS great grandchildren…and same of HIS CRONY SOCIALISTS.
HOORAY FBI
Domestic economic TERRORISTS.
See something, say something ALERT!
FUYEE
Also common in D.C.. That was the purpose of the 2009 "Stimulus" bill. As Rush said, just a way to launder taxpayer $$$$ into the hands of the Democrats.
Democrat corruption is made possible by the MSM worship of them. They then feel entitled to act with complete impunity.
Sen. Leland Yee’s downfall in part was because he thought his rock star status gave him special treatment.
And now the MSM is disowning him. They were in on it the entire time.
They are in fact co-conspirators. The communist cheerleaders in the media, encourage this lawlessness. They need contempt for the law to enable the breakdown of civil society. Their real goal is global tyranny, a true dictatorship of the entire planet. A caliph if you will with them and their like minded ilk in charge of it all.
