That could cover a lot of politicians, one of them running for President, but in this case it refers to this chap,

Former state Sen. Leland Yee sentenced to prison

You either have to read the caption under the picture carefully, or read all the way down to paragraph 12 to see his party affiliation,

Yee, a longtime San Francisco Democrat, was one of several state legislators charged with crimes in recent years in scandals that rocked the state Capitol. Legislators responded to the sentencing Wednesday with further calls for reform — state Sen. Patricia Bates, R-Laguna Niguel, introduced a bill directed at Yee’s conduct to close a loophole that allows the skirting of campaign contribution limits.

Closing one loophole, usually opens another. Not that I much care about how politicians raise money as long as they don’t do it illegally.

Scroll down a few more paragraphs and you’ll read more details about his business dealings,

The racketeering charge also contained allegations Yee tried to arrange an illegal international arms deal through the Philippines in exchange for money. Yee confirmed his role in that bizarre crime as well, but disputed that he had the ability to carry it out. Breyer called his involvement in that crime “hypocritical” and “unfathomable” given his past advocacy for gun control.

Gun control for law abiding citizens, of course. Well, Yee won’t have to worry about that because he’s now a federally prohibited person who can’t “possess” which means touch, firearms or ammunition.

Yee claimed that he didn’t have the ability to follow through on the deal. Which sound reasonable until you find out that he was associated with this guy,

Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow said he was a changed man after his last prison sentence for racketeering in Chinatown more than a decade ago. But jurors heard an undercover FBI agent, backed by tape recordings, describe paying Chow for illegal transactions with his underlings. And they heard former cohorts saying Chow had ordered two murders.

On Friday, after 2½ days of deliberations, the federal court jury in San Francisco found Chow guilty on all charges: conspiracy to operate a century-old community organization as a racketeering enterprise, murdering its previous leader, conspiring to try to murder another rival, five counts of dealing in stolen liquor and cigarettes, and 154 counts of money-laundering.

Based on Mr. Chow’s record, it’s highly likely he could have found the weapons and arranged for them to be shipped.

Just remember, gun control is about protecting criminals, including elected ones, from the citizenry, not the other way around.
