California state senator Leland Yee arrested in FBI sweep

Quote:A longtime California politician who was praised for his efforts to make government more transparent and authored gun control legislation was arrested Wednesday, accused of conspiracy to deal firearms and wire fraud.

The allegations against State Sen. Leland Yee were outlined in an FBI affidavit in support of a criminal complaint against him and 25 other people. The affidavit was unsealed on Wednesday, as Yee was scheduled to appear in court.

I'm surprised the Obama admin hasn't figured out a way to control the FBI like they do the IRS.

Here is the official FBI criminal complaint. They damn near arrested half of China. The fargin thing is 137 pages long.

Bump for the lulz.

$500,000 bond for the gentleman from San Francisco.

Not cheap.

When he's not being accused of gun-trafficking with Filipino militia groups, Senator Lee also works as a child psychologist.

Why is this Senator under fire for doing the same exact thing that Eric Holder did in Fast & Furious without repercussion?
