We Couldn’t Even Make This Up: Dem Senator Was Just Arrested For Gun Running
WesternJournalism.com ^ | March 27, 2014 | B. Christopher Agee

Many leftist politicians who want to strip Americans of their Second Amendment rights say their position is based on concern for the safety of citizens. Somehow, they contend, forcing law-abiding gun-owners to give up their weapons will result in street gangs following suit.

According to a recently unsealed affidavit, however, one state senator in California allegedly wanted to curtail gun rights for everyone except violent gangsters.

State Sen. Leland Yee, the court documents state, was the subject of an FBI raid that led to his arrest Wednesday along with 25 other individuals. Among those arrested was Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow, a well-known Chinese gang leader.

Though Chow claimed he left his criminal behavior in the past after his 2003 release from prison, evidence indicates he was merely putting a legitimate face on his new illegal behavior. He now faces charges of money laundering and a number of conspiracy charges.

The purportedly reformed crime boss has been praised in recent years by a number of California politicos for his public appearances working with troubled kids. All the while, however, reports indicate he was still deeply involved in his prior activities.

Its just another in a long series of examples of how much liberals like guns. Not only that but they have no remorse or fear of using them on their enemies. In fact genocide is a liberal concept despite propaganda. Their problem with guns is that you can have them.

Hopefully this hypocrisy will make for good, creative campaign ads at all levels for Second Amendment supporting candidates. Don’t waste this opportunity.

I keep wondering what Issa has to hide——that dumb act of his is wearing thin.

Issa’s a California boy——and probably knows plenty.

The CIA better get ahold of his emails, as well.

Yee doing a "Privileged Perp Walk!"

Maybe this picture should be sent to rats in power/now as a warning to resign and to go to a country where they can't be extradited.

Issa probably has nothing to hide.

Who controls the Justice Department and the Mass Media in DC?

Issa has part of the House in his side and that is it.

If he had anything to hide, it would have been on the front page of the Compost and NY/LA Slimes over a year ago.

Bingo!

They are all about redistribution, so nothing like that would surprise me.

I recall that Yee and other Dems tried to have Sarah Palin investigated four years ago over a compensation package she got for speaking at CSU.

You're right Grampa Dave...

Well, I’m sure he felt “entitled” to do so as a democrat and knows holder won’t make a big deal out of it.

'I wonder if Harry Reid will just look the other way on this too?'

Re the Three Blind or Wise Monkeys

'In the Western world the phrase is often used to refer to those who deal with impropriety by turning a blind eye.'

The picture below shows DIFi's, Pelosi's and Reid's reaction to their comrade Yee getting arrested.

Thanks.

If the rats had something on Issa, it would have been the news du jour for well over a year on ABCNNBCBS, the Compost, LA/NY Slimes, and the Sunday morning tv shows where slicing and dicing republicans is the theme.

He now faces charges of money laundering

Is that a Chinese laundry joke? I'm pretty sure that's racist.

Yep, the ‘standard’ for conservatives is we must walk on water - or very close to it...

The Standard for democrats is they can’t be caught caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy... well, unless they’re a Kennedy or someone other ‘A-lister’

Yee is simply following the precedent of “Big Tim” Sullivan, who passed the infamous Sullivan law in New York City to protect his criminal gangs there. “Big Tim” was a corrupt politician and crime syndicate leader.

So I’m wondering if the democrats turned on Lee?

Or was the corruption charge something they couldn’t stop?

Whether he has anything to hide or not, Issa blundered badly coming to the defense of Di/Fi just before the Yee scandal broke.

Di---Senate Intel Committee head---whined about the CIA looking through her computers and taking documents. In light of the Yee scandal, this has more resonance now than when she began her whining. Seems Di knows how to get ahead of a scandal.

Just wondering. Did Di use her access to valuable US security data improperly? Is hubby cutting new deals w/ the Chi/Coms?

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

Di has a habit of mouthing off and helping criminals......before she was a US Senator, she was Mayor when the Zodiak killer was rampaging the area.

Mayor Di actually went on TV and showed viewers the shoes the cops told her the killer was wearing. Naturally, the Z/K got rid of the shoes......and more people got killed thanks to Di's utter stupidity.

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

NOTE: Bill Clinton was just traveling in China...panhandling for donations to his tax-exempt "foundations" (which finance Hillary's ambitions). Nice to know who the Clintons are beholden to....as Hillary eyes 2016.

How was Clinton able to penetrate the Great Wall of China---did Di/Fi give him any assistance?
