Brady Campaign "A+" Politician Guilty of Weapons-Related Racketeering

Funny how this does not make the front page of any liberal news media.... CNN? Crickets. MSNBC, more crickets. Liberal Fascism, at a store near you.



Brady Campaign "A+" Politician Guilty of Weapons-Related Racketeering
FRIDAY, JULY 03, 2015

The Sacramento Bee reports that former California State Sen. Leland Yee, a gun control advocate rated "A+" by the Brady Campaign, has pled guilty to weapons-related racketeering charges in an organized crime case and now faces 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Talk about hypocrisy. Last year we noted that in 2012, Yee said "no one will convince me it's anything other than a joke to say that having multiple clips and semi-automatic weapons that can shoot 100 or more bullets at a time is necessary in this state or in this country. It's ridiculous."

However, during his court hearing on Wednesday, Yee "acknowledged offering to facilitate a multimillion-dollar arms deal for shoulder-fired missiles and automatic weapons with a source tied to Muslim rebel groups in the Philippines." ABC News further reports that those weapons were intended for distribution within the United States.

Enough said.

You guys have such narrow vision. Yee "acknowledged offering to facilitate a multimillion-dollar arms deal for shoulder-fired missiles and automatic weapons with a source tied to Muslim rebel groups in the Philippines."

...IN THE PHILIPPINES

He was trying to get guns out of the USA.
Granted, his liberal lawbreaker hypocrisy is in step with such programs as Operation FAST AND FURIOUS, but don't let facts get in the way of an advancing liberal agenda.

Guns are bad and we need to get them out of the country any way possible.
...and if we can make a profit - better


On that note, it seems that Yee was quite the profit driven state senator...
...traded his political influence for bribes. Most of those bribes were taken from undercover FBI agents.
...agreed to influence legislation for would-be medical marijuana businesses in California
...agreed to influence legislation for an NFL team owner trying to exempt pro athletes from the state's workers' compensation laws
...conspired with a fictitious FBI-concocted software firm seeking government technology contracts.


Silly liberal
