So Crystal Clear: Yee And Gun Hypocrisy

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



 

    It bears remembering that, a little over a year ago, on February 24, 2016, former California State Senator Leland Yin Yee, outspoken gun grabber, was sentenced and went to prison for political hanky-panky and practicing the opposite of what he preached: gun control.

    Yes, the Golden State Democrat who served the San Francisco area (District 8) from 2006 until his removal in 2015, pleaded guilty to felony racketeering charges for money laundering, public corruption, and bribery.

    Yee was no stranger to politics. According to Wikipedia, he had been “a California State Assemblyman, Supervisor of San Francisco’s Sunset District, and was a member and President of the San Francisco School Board. In 2004 Yee became the first Asian American to be appointed Speaker pro Tempore [presiding officer of a deliberative assembly], making him the second-highest ranking Democrat of the California State Assembly.”

    Evidently, Yee was no stranger to political corruption, either. A March 2014 Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) indictment detailed a gun trafficking scheme where the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), a Philippine Islamist extremist group, sold automatic firearms and shoulder-launched missiles to Yee and his associate Keith Jackson who, in turn, tried to sell those same weapons on (profitably, you can be sure) – to an undercover FBI agent. Busted!

    San Francisco was shocked that their Senator was involved in unsavory crimes committed by Chinatown gangsters with names like Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow:

    The arms deal conspiracy was one incident discovered by a federal investigation. Another involved Yee’s taking a $10,000 bribe from an undercover agent posing as a contract facilitator with the California Department of Health.

    After levying these felony charges against their leader, the state of California fired Yee, suspending him as Senator on March 28, 2014.

    On July 1, 2015, Yee filed a guilty plea to felony racketeering related to money laundering, public corruption and more bribery in a Chinatown mob crime case.

    The Guardian listed other charges included in the federal indictment:

    “He acknowledged accepting $11,000 in exchange for setting up a meeting with another state senator, $10,000 for recommending someone for a grant, and $6,800 for providing a certificate on California state senate letterhead honoring the Ghee Kung Tong.”

    On February 24, 2016, Yee was sentenced to a mere five years in federal prison, which he has been serving, since March 25, 2016 at FCI Fort Worth. Considering Yee collected thousands of corrupt dollars in his lengthy political career, the case could be made that crime did indeed pay, for this Asian offender.

    Yee’s legal defense was that he was a career “servant” with a sick wife.

    What is even more important – and irritating about gun grabbers – is the dictatorial, pompous, parental posturing that pseudo-zealots like Yee blast over mainstream media. Many of us remember when Senator Yee pronounced on CBS News:

    “It is extremely important that individuals in the state of California do not own assault weapons. I mean that is just so crystal clear — there is no debate, no discussion.”

    What is now crystal clear is that Yee used his political station and influence to make big bucks fast the illegal way.

    What is now crystal clear is that elected gun grabbers will do whatever they want, break whatever laws it takes, and laugh all the way to the bank, as they scorn the American people who put them in positions of public trust in the first place.

    Haven’t We the People had enough of this evil, hypocritical crusade against our #2 Constitutional Amendment?

    Apparently not. The BBC just reported that Florida caved after their recent false flag shooting event and has legislated more gun control. They intend to “raise the age to buy a firearm from 18 to 21 and require a three-day waiting period for most weapons.”
