California Democrats are speechless as they watch their prized Sacramento gun control senator, Leland Yee, head to prison for weapons trafficking, accepting bribes, and extorting money.
“The crimes that you committed have resulted in essentially an attack on democratic institutions,” Breyer told Yee, who nodded as the judge addressed him. “This is a serious, serious injury to a governmental institution.”
Breyer called his involvement in that crime “hypocritical” and “unfathomable” given his past advocacy for gun control.
The judge gave him 30 days to surrender to the U.S. Marshal’s Service, which will turn him over to the federal prison system. Yee’s lawyer asked the judge to recommend the sentence be served at the federal prison in Taft in Kern County.

Yee was arrested by the FBI on March 26, 2014 on charges related to public corruption and gun trafficking. Specifically buying automatic firearms and shoulder-launched missiles from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. MILF is an Islamist extremist group located in the southern Philippines.
The hypocrite was anti-gun.
THis is just too funny. In an ironic sort of way.
I would bet dots could be connected to the Vegas Massacre
Don’t google MILF....
What a sick SOB.
****MILF is an Islamist extremist group located in the southern Philippines****
Yea, thats not what I heard...
Typical corrupt LIB pol...typical. The only un-typical thing is that this bum is headed to prison.
He got a mere 8 years. He will be out sooner than that.
***The hypocrite was anti-gun***
Well he was at least anti YOU having a gun.
Google search “Stephen Paddock” Leland Yee” turns up a lot of hits, but if there was a connection then it would be buried and just a veneer of obfuscation left on google
Democrats speechless? Don’t you believe it.
And why does it take FOUR YEARS to figure out what to do with this waste of flesh?? Selling/buying automatic weapons - MACHINE GUNS, Moslem terror groups; extortion, etc - and he has 30 days to turn himself in?!?!
These people are CRAZY, he’s an extreme flight risk, no bail. Jeeze Louise
He was simply trying to raise the price of his stuff for a larger profit, by outlawing them, then selling them for higher prices.

I thought democrats were anti-capitalists.
LVMPD was told by the FBI to stand down and stop investigating after LVMP discovered that Paddock was undercover FBI involved in a sting and was killed before the shooting started
They on the other hand, know how to turn a profit with equality and no white privilege shenanigans.
'sides, it was all for the children.
DJT should have Tweeted it as his Administration's "get tough" policy on "Assault Rifles" and "Gun Buyer Loopholes", but I doubt any of his staff informed him of the opportunity.
Oh, yes. I’d been following this case and lost track but I never thought they’d actually give him time. Laws aren’t for Kali’s political elite, you know.
He must’ve figured that if guns are outlawed, his profits would increase.
Trump tweeted today that he had a great meeting with the NRA.
