A California state senator has been arrested for promising shoulder-fired automatic weapons and missiles from a Muslim separatist group to an undercover FBI agent in exchange for campaign donations, according to court documents unsealed Wednesday.

In San Francisco, FBI agents have charged California State Sen. Leland Yee with conspiracy to deal firearms and wire fraud. The allegations were outlined in an FBI affidavit against Yee and 25 others. The allegations against Yee include a number of favors he requested in exchange for campaign donations, as well as performing "official acts" in exchange for donations to get himself out of a $70,000 debt incurred during a failed San Francisco mayoral bid, according to court documents.

Yee discussed helping the undercover FBI agent get weapons worth $500,000 to $2.5 million, including shoulder-fired automatic weapons and missiles, and showed the agent the entire process of how to get those weapons from a Muslim separatist group in the Philippines into the United States, according to an affidavit from FBI Special Agent Emmanuel V. Pascua.

Time for DHS to round up the Christians, veterans, gun owners, and Conservatives.

An arms-trafficking gun-grabber—not your standard political corruption style.

Pretty impressive. It also said Yee wanted to “flee to the Philippines” (where he had contact with “Muslim separatist” groups???).

He actually did arrange a meeting with the FBI agent and the arms smuggler, so I guess there’s no doubt about the reality of his contacts. I wonder for what group the FBI agent pretended to be seeking weapons.

“I wonder for what group the FBI agent pretended to be seeking weapons.”

It’s a bigger wonder that there are still FBI agents who will sideline their career by indicting a Democrat. WAY TO GO FBI!

They haven't played the race care yet, but they probably will.

I wonder what that little decoration on his lapel is?

I notice that “Raymond (Shrimp Boy) Chow” has something similar in his pocket.

Gang symbol?

The Muslim groups in the southern Philippines that the U.S. had to deal with in the late 1800’s has become the group that is trying to break away from Manila today. In the 1960/70 time frame, they attacked U.S. military personnel in the Clark AFB / Subic Bay area of Luzon Island.

Hmmm,

For you people that would send your kid to a shrink, rather than spank him, perhaps this will give you something to think about:

“State Sen. Leland Yee, a child psychologist...”

Helluva jump from stealing tanning oil to buying guns from Mohammadan terrorists. Methinks there’s a whole lot of other stuff in between.

Terrorist in high places. Tip of the iceberg? I’d say yes.
