Ferocious Anti-Gun California Senator Nabbed by FBI - for Gun Trafficking - Bribery
Senator Yee (along with De Leon and Steinberg) have been issuing anti-gun legislation for years, and continue to do so.
FBI arrested Yee for firearm trafficking and corruption.
Yee, who advocated draconian gun control legislation year after year, asked for campaign donations in exchange for introducing an undercover FBI agent to an arms trafficker and told him how to get shoulder-fired automatic weapons and missiles from a Muslim separatist group in the Philippines, according to court documents unsealed Wednesday.
The allegations against state Sen. Leland Yee were outlined in an FBI affidavit in support of a criminal complaint. The affidavit accuses Yee of conspiracy to deal firearms without a license and to illegally import firearms. He was arrested Wednesday and appeared later in federal court, where bail was set at $500,000.
