Didn't hear about it? It was in all the papers.

State Senator Leland Yee makes brief court appearance

[2ndDivisionVet]

Is he married to Paula DeMissus?

Let’s see... entrapment as in, “Hey, want to buy some bootleg DVDs?” or entrapment as in, “Hey, want to sell me $2.5 million in military weapons imported from Al Qaida in the Philippines?”

[Jimmy Valentine]

Won’t work. They tried entrapment in Abscam too

[kiryandil]

Senator Yee isn’t subject to “peasant law”...

[skinkinthegrass]

yeah..he (Yell)/the Washington Establishment et.al.; are
working furiously, to "rehab" his/their "soiled" reputations.
if he had been in the GOP/society, the prison's
doors would've closed already.

When the rat is caught in the trap, that is all it can claim, except mental incapacity. Audio and video recordings with U/C agent testimony leaves the rat with very little wiggle room.

WILL THE "ENTRAPMENT" NEVER CEASE? The Feds even "entrapped" the unfortunate Yee into taking bribes to cast aye votes. A Chronicle newspaper investigation comparing Democrat Yee's legislative votes and his campaign donations; the comparison showed donations might have influenced many of Democrat Yee's votes in the state Legislature.

================================================

Those nasty Feds "entrapped" poor Dummycrat Yee into saying horrid things.......As a 2011 Democrat mayoral candidate, Democrat Yee boasted that "there's tremendous opportunity at the local level" (for a corrupt Democrat to pocket shady money) ... "because whoever's gonna be the mayor controls everything."

SFGATE.COM EXCERPT Democrat Yee aggressively campaigned in the 2011 San Francisco mayor's race...he blasted interim Mayor Ed Lee as beholden to City Hall power brokers with "selfish interests" and vowed to "throw them out" if elected.

At the same time, Democrat Yee was brandishing his liberal bona fides, touting his "tolerance and compassion," he was allegedly soliciting cash from an undercover FBI agent posing as a real estate developer who had already illegally funneled $11,000 to Yee's campaign.

============================================

FOREGONE CONCLUSION Self-serving Democrat Yee was driven by greed ... willing to skirt campaign finance laws, collect cash for meetings, trade political favors for donations, and even facilitated an international arms deal, pocketing a $2.5 million bribe from connections he established w/ Muslim terrorists.

Calculated, self-serving Democrat Yee was a "public servant" who served himself exclusively. Yee is the paradigm "compassionate Democrat liberal"....bleating about being "for his fellow man" and conniving to make a buck on it.

I never understood “entrapment”. All you have to do is say, “NO”, and walk away.

[dennisw]

Will 0Bunghole pardon Yee ...in the future?

[stocksthatgoup]

Must be the NRA, the same NRA that endorses Harry Reid.

[onedoug]

Flight risk.

“[Yee’s attorney] declined to say whether he thought Yee could beat the charges, or to comment on how Yee is feeling. A lurid 137-page FBI affidavit says Yee, 65, traded official favors for money and repeatedly met face to face with an undercover agent to smuggle automatic weapons into the country; he’s accused of accepting a $5,000 campaign contribution as part of those talks.”

For anyone who’s interested, here’s a link to the affidavit. It’s fun reading.

Yee but not Weaver?
