NYP: SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge sentenced former California state senator Leland Yee on Wednesday to five years in prison after he acknowledged in a plea deal that he accepted thousands of dollars in bribes and discussed helping an undercover FBI agent buy automatic weapons from the Philippines.
Senior District Court Judge Charles Breyer called the weapons allegations against Yee — a gun control advocate — unfathomable and said it was frightening that Yee would be willing to go entirely against his public position on guns in exchange for money.
“I don’t feel I should be lenient,” Breyer said during the hearing. more

Oh myyyyy. That guy never got along with Bill Shatner, either on or off screen.
That IS Sulu, isn’t it? (first thing I thought of)
Stardate 9521.6. Captain’s Log, USS Excelsior. Hikaru Sulu commanding. After three years, I have concluded my first assignment as master of this vessel, cataloging gaseous planetary anomalies in Beta Quadrant. We’re heading home under full impulse power. I’m pleased to report that ship and crew have functioned well.
We also accepted thousands of dollars in bribes and discussed helping an undercover FBI agent buy automatic weapons from the Philippines.
Most the State Legislators trying to take our weapons away from us are Gay Hispanics or Asians. And I’m sure just as corrupt as this ass hat. Hopefully they push the state of Jefferson through.
He even tried to blame it on his secretary Ho Lee Fook.
Bastard got off easy.
So, his position was ‘guns for Yee, but not for thee’?
I’d send smokes to the prison he will be staying at to ensure his ass gets pounded daily. But seeing how he is from San Fran that is going to happen regardless.
Did McGarrett nab this Wo Fat wannabe?
What, he’s not being tried additionally for breaking STATE laws?
You can bet your ass you or I would.
