Leland Yee should be making national headlines. A Democratic state senator from San Francisco, a statewide candidate until this week, and a rising member of Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein’s Democratic political machine, was arrested on Wednesday by the Justice Department for wire fraud, corruption, and his alleged involvement in illegal gun deal between Chinatown gangsters and Islamist militants.
**SNIP**
Yet four of the most prominent news outlets in America — CNN, USA Today, Politico and the Chicago Sun-Times — made no mention of the Leland Yee scandal within two days of the story breaking. When Politico finally ran a story mentioning Lee on March 28, he was mentioned in passing, along with two other Democrats facing criminal charges, in a piece only 125 words long.
In their first story on the scandal, CBS failed to say that Yee is a Democrat. Only buried in a later story specifically focused on the political ramification did CBS include Yee’s party affiliation. The first piece written by an ABC correspondent likewise did not mention that Yee is a Democrat, though ABC did publish stories from the AP that referenced Yee’s party affiliation.

Where are the charges of terrorist activity and treason?
Amazing, isn’t it? If a pro-gun, NRA Republican state senator was running guns you can be freaking guaranteed it would be front page news and on TV 24/7 for at least a week.
But a anti-gun, Democrat like Leyland Yee does it and nary a peep. Harry Reid and other crooks barely a passing mention.
The four rats should be on a YouTube ad. Should set it to blast and let it go viral.
Keeping the mushrooms in the dark while feeding them you know what.

Remember years ago when Chinese firearms and ammo was banned in the USA? Several boxcar loads of ammo was seized and made the news for weeks! Anyone remember what happened to that ammo?
It was found to be Russian and had to be given back to the importers. The media, which covered the seizure, failed to report the give back.
All of the DemocRat bootlickers in the media are so foolish.
They really believe that if/when we have a totalitarian state run by the Dems that they will be among the privileged. They should study history and see what happens to their type once the lefties have solidified their hold on a country. Many of them get lined up against a wall and shot. Those they are helping now will not trust them and will turn on them when they are no longer needed.
And, if there is a real SHTF scenario and the lead starts flying, I gotta think that there is a lot of karmic payback out there looking for them.
In any case, these people are low rent toadies that Obama and his handlers are laughing at behind their backs.
“Where are the charges of terrorist activity and treason?”
You don’t think Holder is actually going to go that far, do you? /s ;)
No need for the sarcasm tag. No way Holder would bring charges. Shrimp Boy probably has incriminating evidence against him.
“Read All About It.” Pretty much nowhere!
If the GOP leadership made it an issue they could force the media to cover it. Pelosi squeezed as much as she could linking the culture of corruption to the GOP. Every dem mentioned it.
NRA should run with this story! Dont be a GOP er remain silent and not want to offend thier friends
Bias aside, why was the man arrested by the DOJ?
Doesn’t compute.
I remember that Indonesian fellow that was promoted by the Clinton administration
It’s not spelled Democrat-—it’s spelled Scumocrat.
I also remember that 2,000 fully automatic AK47’s were about to be brought into the country several years ago, during Eric the Red’s first reign of terror. The importer had ties to the Clinton crime family. The importer was “tipped” just before the Feds swooped in to seize the guns, and escaped. Odd coincidences with these ‘Rats, eh?
Hmmmmmm.....good point.
Holder/Obama's Fast and Furious gun-running and Yee/Chow gun-running have a lot in common.
Maybe even points of origin?
It would fill a gaping hole in the current market.
It would be neat to have an alternative to the Propaganda Ministry.
