We need a score board, so many corrupt Progressives, so little coverage!

Unfortunately, I don't think corruption is limited to one side of the aisle.

Corruption, and the associated profits, are why the majority seek and retain office. I prefer non-corrupt pols, but I'll take the corrupt ones who don't pick away at my rights over the ones who do.

WE wouldn't get our illegal firearms trafficking charges dropped...

This seems to be the theme of the day. Arrests in CA (few details), Charlotte(taking bribes) and even Illinois(child porn). Technically the last one wasn't a politician as he had resigned earlier in the day. Coincidence? I doubt it.

It's not really the kind of news that the MSM will report, just like all the positive things that have happened under Scott Walker in Wisconsin. Don't expect to see it on the evening news, and if you do it will be one time only and blamed on Bush. Don't forget, though, that the right wing is full of brainless church people and that the tea party id nothing but racists... /sarc

He was corrupt when he went anti-gun. He's supposed to support the Constitution.

Good riddance. Will his replacement be any better?

California Senator Leland Yee, a major anti-gun voice, has been charged with Arms Trafficking and Accepting Bribes in California in exchange for legislative influence. Kind of ironic, he was trying to take away your legal rights to own guns, while participating in traffic illegal firearms.

 

[GrpCapMandrake]

He is part of an organization led by a "former" notorious gangster named Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow.

Right there everyone loses the right to be surprised that criminal enterprise was afoot.

This story does absolutely nothing to strengthen my faith in humanity.

'Staggering' Yee allegations: California corruption and anti-gun hypocrisy

In February 2013, California State Sen. Leland Yee was pushing tighter restrictions on Golden State gun owners and months later he was quietly negotiating an illegal gun trafficking scheme in exchange for campaign contributions to help finance his upcoming run for Secretary of State, according to a federal complaint released yesterday …

"This is not an easy issue," Yee told a KPIX reporter at the time. "But I am a father, and I want our communities to be safe, and God forbid if one of these weapons fell into the wrong hands."

Seems more and more we are hearing about anti gun gubment types claiming they are serving america by ridding the law abiding f it's rights and protection, but smuggling in guns to their criminal friends and donators.

We need to clean house of anyone looking to infringe on our freedoms, and most important is the 2nd amendment.

Revolution is happening all over the world, it's a matter of time before it happens here.
How much will we take?

 

[clearconscience]

I'm sure sure BO will pardon him.

The trial, and/or outcome will fade away and you will never know what happens

 

[Stomper]

One set of laws for the masses, no laws for the elites.

 

[3MTA3]

They will simply use this as a reason pass more laws further restricting the rights of law abiding citizens.

 

[GunnyG]

One set of laws for the masses, no laws for the elites.

.... And with no competition in the CA firearms market, pure profit :

'Guns for Yee but not for thee,' says Gottlieb, new bogeyman for WAGR
