If the complaint is accurate -- and that's a big if (Why? Because the Libs are enraged that clever tactics took down a sacred cow?) -- then Yee needed little prompting before he accepted illicit payments for public services. But his role as a deal maker with a Filipino arms dealer was, by the feds' own account, all smoke and mirrors. The 137-page criminal complaint mostly catalogued instances of contraband cigarette trafficking, the transport of stolen goods, drug dealing and money laundering -- and not by criminal masterminds. Taxpayers can support a four-year deployment of undercover agents, would-be informants and wiretap crews to collar arms dealers -- but for cigarettes and bootleg Hennessy?

Yee may not be a criminal mastermind, but the moment law enforcement pulled back the liberal camouflage, he was still revealed as a crook. Of course the arms deal was smoke and mirrors; the FBI is not likely to run the risk of real armament ending up in the hands of terrorists. Maybe a lesson was learned from Fast and Furious.

It takes a four year investigation to cover all the bases to nail a Democrat. Without extensive corroboration, chain of custody evidence, meticulous wire tap procedures, and locked down testimony, a Democrat politician walks. Just remember that at the onset of the news breaks on this scandal, the Dem heirarchy was all in support of their fellow cockroaches.

Alphonse Capone was brought down for tax evasion. Should we care that Yee was subdued by peddling smokes and whiskey?
