As state Sen. Leland Yee aggressively campaigned in the 2011 San Francisco mayor's race, he blasted interim Mayor Ed Lee as beholden to City Hall power brokers with "selfish interests" and vowed to "throw them out" if elected.
At the same time, Yee was allegedly soliciting $10,000 from an undercover FBI agent posing as a real estate developer who had already illegally funneled $11,000 to Yee's campaign, telling the agent to "cover your tracks," and boasting that "there's tremendous opportunity in local levels ... because whoever's gonna be the mayor controls everything."
**SNIP**
Instead, it's of a man driven by money who was willing to skirt campaign finance laws, collect cash for meetings, trade political favors for donations, and even promise to facilitate an international arms deal worth up to $2.5 million. Now, a Chronicle review of his votes and campaign donations shows that money might have influenced many of his votes in the Legislature, too.

SAMCRO needs a vote at the table, on this!
This guy wouldn’t be ensnared unless the democrats wanted him to. Look how they can block the FBI from investigating Harry Reid. Somebody(s) in the democrat pulling strings to get this guy out of the way.
This guy wouldnt be ensnared unless the democrats wanted him to.
I thought exactly the same thing.
This is exactly my thoughts. He actually represents my district. I think they wanted him out of the running for Secretary of State just a feeling I get. You have to admit they threw him under the bus so fast and he has since withdrawn from the Secretary of state race.
I agree with Rush:
All these lib busts are aimed at shoveling out all the ‘Rat poop pronto, and putting 7 months of clean silence between them and the mid-term elections.
THEN:
A week before the elections the FBI will put the investigative accelerator pedal through the floorboards on Tea-Party friendly candidates, and Republicans, more generally.
Consider:
There was a little a month between Bengazi and GayMuzzie’s re-election bid, but he DID squeak by.
What will be the effect of not one but SEVEN MONTHS? For the he L.I.V.’s that is PLENTY of time to go to sleep again.
How many Boston Bomber types has Leland Yee armed?
Remember Blago, govenor of IL? This reminds me that. Not that I liked Blago, but I think it was because Democrats wanted a tax increase and Blago was in the way. That got rid of him and they raised taxes 67%.
“SAMCRO needs a vote at the table, on this!”
Lol
when reading the article there will be bribery charges against both corporations s well as individuals. we can bet Lee will roll over on everyone too except probably the Chinese gangster.
this story can play out for well over a year.
Nails it. Yee didn't really hate guns---he just didn't want law-abiding citizens to have them.
=============================================
Yee is the quintessential bleeding heart lib/progressive---voting for every frickin' hyphenate measure----ethnic solidarity at its most putrid.
Just goes to show," There's always a scumbag politician willing to say he's for his fellow-mman, and hoping to make a buck on it."
Dollars to donuts Shrimp Boy will sing the loudest..... to save his skin.
===========================================
Q. Why would a sitting US Senator "Honor" a Chinese citizen on US soil who was a criminal?
A. Shrimp Boy Chow had something Sen Feinstein needed.
INCONVENIENT FACTOIDS:
(a) Di's hubby made millions doing deals in China. Did M/M Di/Fi get any help from Yee? From Shrimp Boy Chow? Intros to helpful Chinese officials....for a fee?
(b) As Head of the Senate Intel Committee--Di/Fi gets valuable ntl security info---which can be sold for very high prices in the global market.
================================================
US Sen Dianne Feinstein (Dimwit-Calif) released the following statement WRT Democrat State Senator Leland Yee's arrest for terrorist gun trafficking: The allegations against Senator Yee are shocking. It has become clear he has lost the confidence of his colleagues and for the good of his constituents should step down.
Huh? She's shocked? More like sap-happy Di/Fi's doing a quick CYA before all the dirt comes out.
This is Shrimp Boy Chow who was arrested in connection w/ Yee's terrorist arms trafficing plot.
THE DI SUCKUP Di/Fi honored Chow as a "community role model" at the same time Chow was running a criminal enterprise.
===========================================================
Just before the Yee scandal broke, Sen Di/Fi---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? Hubby made millions in China deals in past years. How'd he do that?
=========================================
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 recently travelled to 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 official China---did Di/Fi give him any assistance?
The SF/GATE reports Democrat Yee took Chow's $6,800.....and used government resources and tax dollars----to officially "honor" the "Chinese brotherhood organization" that his arms trafficking co-conspirator Shrimp Boy Chow had allegedly turned into a criminal enterprise.
IS DI/FI THAT STUPID? Taking her cues from a fellow Scumocrat US Senator Dianne Feinstein "Honored" Raymond Chow---a criminal conspiring to commit anarchy. Clearly, Shrimp Boy Chow had something Sen Feinstein needed.
IS DI/FI'S HUBBY THAT SMART? Di's hubby made millions doing deals in China. Did M/M Di/Fi get any help from Yee? From Shrimp Boy Chow? Intros to helpful Chinese officials....for a fee?
TRADING INTEL FOR CONNECTIONS? As Head of the Senate Intel Committee--Di/Fi gets valuable ntl security info---which can be sold for very high prices in the global market.
===========================================================
Just before the Yee scandal broke, Sen Di/Fi---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.

Is that why Michelle was in China? Making a deal to take over this operation?
Heh-—good guess.
No more First Lady——now she’s Dragon Lady. (cackle)
Well there are corrupt politicians and then there are criminals who do politics. Criminals know which party gives them the most cover and support. The cover job can work out very well too just ask Harry Reid.
