Leland Yee case filing alleges unidentified politician took money from undercover agent
SF Examiner ^ | 9/24/14 | Jonah Owen Lamb

An undercover FBI agent gave campaign donations to an unnamed Bay Area politician during a yearslong undercover investigation into a Chinatown gang and alleged political corruption that culminated in the arrests of state Sen. Leland Yee and Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow earlier this year.

This is according to the latest filing by the U.S. Attorney's Office in the federal case against the two men and about 20 others. Besides indicating that a politician other than Yee allegedly took money from undercover FBI agents in exchange for favors, the filing further lays out the relationship between former school board member and Yee confidant Keith Jackson and the undercover agent known as UCE-4773.

In early 2012, Jackson allegedly told the undercover FBI agent that he could make contact with "a different San Francisco Bay Area elected official" other than Yee.

Husband has deep ties to People’s Republic of China.

They cut it short because the agent was too successful and it climbed so high it was going to get embarrassing for numerous important people.

Maybe. Didn't somebody try put the kibosh on the FBI investigation? Would have taken somebody pretty powerful to do that.
