Leland Yee was sentenced Wednesday to five years in federal prison after pleading guilty to charges of racketeering and arms trafficking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer rejected Yee's request for leniency -- a plea the longtime San Francisco public official and his lawyer said should be based on his record of public service and on his wife's deteriorating health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You raise the issue of leniency, and I think I have to say something about that,\" Breyer said. \"I don’t feel I should be lenient. ... The crimes you have committed have resulted in essentially an attack on democratic institutions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee and Keith Jackson, a close associate and San Francisco political consultant, were swept up in a wide-ranging federal investigation of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/08/raymond-shrimp-boy-chow-guilty-on-all-162-counts-in-racketeering-murder-trial\" target=\"_blank\">now-convicted\u003c/a> Chinatown crime boss Raymond \"Shrimp Boy\" Chow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An undercover FBI agent met Jackson as part of the Chow investigation, and Jackson invited him to contribute to Yee, who was trying to retire a campaign debt and raise funds for his campaign for California secretary of state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"e6Qhheuw7eEjzLEN6y1yQuD0FMsJbFQp\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agent's introduction to Yee led to a long series of contacts involving other undercover agents. Yee and Jackson were indicted and arrested in March 2014 after they negotiated bribes to support legislation and payments for a variety of favors, including an official state Senate proclamation congratulating Chow's Chee Kung Tong organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee told Breyer that \"nothing that I will ever do will take away the pain that I’ve caused to my family, friends, supporters and the institution that I represent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, Yee said, \"I hope that in your sentencing of me that you look at the entire life and not just these crimes that I’ve committed. In the 67 years of my life, I have devoted much of it to the work for the community of people here in San Francisco and the state of California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Senator Yee has taken responsibility, has led a good life, has made mistakes, has admitted his mistakes, and he shouldn’t be sort of overpunished because he happens to be a public official,\" said defense attorney James Lassart. \"It should not be an overarching crushing of this man.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Breyer blasted Yee for abusing the public's trust and offering his vote for sale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the court’s view, this is a very serious violation of trust,\" Breyer said. \"Votes are not for sale, positions are not for sale, and your conduct, and it’s on hours and hours of tape indicating that it was for sale, is a violation of trust. \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breyer also fined Yee $20,000. Yee, who had served on the San Francisco school board and Board of Supervisors before being elected to both houses of the state Legislature, must surrender to begin his sentence in 30 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Separately, Breyer sentenced Jackson to nine years in prison, eliciting quiet sobs from a supporter in the court's audience. Prosecutors had requested a 10-year sentence, the maximum allowed under Jackson's plea agreement. Breyer said he considered it, given the former political consultant and San Francisco school board president's conduct was \"akin to being a one-person crime wave.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The scope of your criminal involvement was enormous,\" Breyer said, adding that Jackson's crimes -- including gun and drug trafficking and facilitating illegal pay-to-play campaign donations for Yee -- is \"extremely disturbing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson made a short statement to the court, telling Breyer that that he takes full responsibility for his actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I know I could have walked away,\" he said, \"and I should have walked away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal prosecutors, who portrayed Yee as \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/18/prosecutors-seek-8-years-in-prison-for-state-sen-leland-yee\" target=\"_blank\">a cynical grafter\u003c/a>, had asked for a sentence of eight years in prison and a $25,000 fine, which would have been beyond federal sentencing guidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee's defense lawyer had sought a sentence of no more than five years and three months -- but had also suggested Yee do no prison time because of his wife's condition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson and Yee were also implicated in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/23/leland-yees-russian-arms-dealer-a-colma-tombstone-carver-is-named-in-court-filings\" target=\"_blank\">a scheme to traffic weapons.\u003c/a> Yee and Jackson told the original undercover agent in the case they had contacts who could secure a wide range of arms, including automatic weapons and shoulder-fired missiles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We believe that we took a large number of incredibly dangerous firearms off the street and potentially prevented a great deal more from coming to the Bay Area,\" federal prosecutor William Frentzen told Breyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee was a noted proponent of stricter gun control during his tenure in the Legislature, a fact an incredulous-soundng Breyer noted during Wednesday's sentencing:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Putting aside for the moment, basically a hypocritical position on your part, in favor of gun control, and then engaging in a process whereby weapons would be brought into the United States is frightening and unfathomable.

That answer I think that comes out on the tape is for money. You did it for money … Perpetuation of your power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You were willing to go entirely contrary to your stated position and engage in this type of transaction for money, and that to me is the most venal thing and the most dangerous thing that I’ve seen that you’ve done.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Yee and Jackson were indicted and arrested in March 2014 after they negotiated bribes to support legislation and payments for a variety of favors, including an official state Senate proclamation congratulating Chow's Chee Kung Tong organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee told Breyer that \"nothing that I will ever do will take away the pain that I’ve caused to my family, friends, supporters and the institution that I represent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, Yee said, \"I hope that in your sentencing of me that you look at the entire life and not just these crimes that I’ve committed. In the 67 years of my life, I have devoted much of it to the work for the community of people here in San Francisco and the state of California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Senator Yee has taken responsibility, has led a good life, has made mistakes, has admitted his mistakes, and he shouldn’t be sort of overpunished because he happens to be a public official,\" said defense attorney James Lassart. \"It should not be an overarching crushing of this man.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Breyer blasted Yee for abusing the public's trust and offering his vote for sale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the court’s view, this is a very serious violation of trust,\" Breyer said. \"Votes are not for sale, positions are not for sale, and your conduct, and it’s on hours and hours of tape indicating that it was for sale, is a violation of trust. \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breyer also fined Yee $20,000. Yee, who had served on the San Francisco school board and Board of Supervisors before being elected to both houses of the state Legislature, must surrender to begin his sentence in 30 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Separately, Breyer sentenced Jackson to nine years in prison, eliciting quiet sobs from a supporter in the court's audience. Prosecutors had requested a 10-year sentence, the maximum allowed under Jackson's plea agreement. Breyer said he considered it, given the former political consultant and San Francisco school board president's conduct was \"akin to being a one-person crime wave.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The scope of your criminal involvement was enormous,\" Breyer said, adding that Jackson's crimes -- including gun and drug trafficking and facilitating illegal pay-to-play campaign donations for Yee -- is \"extremely disturbing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson made a short statement to the court, telling Breyer that that he takes full responsibility for his actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I know I could have walked away,\" he said, \"and I should have walked away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal prosecutors, who portrayed Yee as \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/18/prosecutors-seek-8-years-in-prison-for-state-sen-leland-yee\" target=\"_blank\">a cynical grafter\u003c/a>, had asked for a sentence of eight years in prison and a $25,000 fine, which would have been beyond federal sentencing guidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee's defense lawyer had sought a sentence of no more than five years and three months -- but had also suggested Yee do no prison time because of his wife's condition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson and Yee were also implicated in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/23/leland-yees-russian-arms-dealer-a-colma-tombstone-carver-is-named-in-court-filings\" target=\"_blank\">a scheme to traffic weapons.\u003c/a> Yee and Jackson told the original undercover agent in the case they had contacts who could secure a wide range of arms, including automatic weapons and shoulder-fired missiles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We believe that we took a large number of incredibly dangerous firearms off the street and potentially prevented a great deal more from coming to the Bay Area,\" federal prosecutor William Frentzen told Breyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee was a noted proponent of stricter gun control during his tenure in the Legislature, a fact an incredulous-soundng Breyer noted during Wednesday's sentencing:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Putting aside for the moment, basically a hypocritical position on your part, in favor of gun control, and then engaging in a process whereby weapons would be brought into the United States is frightening and unfathomable. The harm that can be caused today by weapons is incalculable, and how you could participate in this conspiracy is, I can’t express it, I can’t tell you how disturbing it is, the harm that could be caused by these weapons is incalculable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Why sanction and participate in this deal? That answer I think that comes out on the tape is for money. You did it for money … Perpetuation of your power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You were willing to go entirely contrary to your stated position and engage in this type of transaction for money, and that to me is the most venal thing and the most dangerous thing that I’ve seen that you’ve done.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The school district ended up overturning the punishment, saying the shirt bothered some adults but wasn't a problem for other students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other recent cases, Ohio University last year agreed to revise its student conduct code and pay $32,000 to a student who sued after a campus group was told not to wear T-shirts bearing a sexually suggestive double entendre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, a Connecticut school district agreed to let a high school student wear a T-shirt with a slash mark through a gay pride rainbow after facing the threat of legal action from the ACLU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But federal courts have allowed some limits on student speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2007 that an Alaska school acted within its discretion to discourage illegal drug use when it suspended a student who displayed a banner saying \"Bong Hits 4 Jesus\" at an Olympic torch relay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in 2014 that administrators at a Northern California high school plagued by racial strife lawfully banned T-shirts bearing the American flag while the campus commemorated \"Mexican Heritage Day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the Central California settlement in the works last week, Victor was given the go-ahead to wear the disputed T-shirt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wore the shirt on the first day I was allowed to,\" she said. \"My mom bought me the same shirt in a different color, and she bought me a sweat shirt that says 'Dare to be Different' in rainbow colors.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón announced Tuesday his office is launching a joint task force with the FBI to investigate political corruption in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gascón's announcement comes a month after the district attorney and federal law enforcement officials disclosed \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/22/3-former-fundraisers-for-mayor-ed-lee-indicted-on-bribery-money-laundering-charges\" target=\"_blank\">criminal charges\u003c/a> against three San Francisco political insiders with ties to Mayor Ed Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We do not believe that is the end of the road,\" Gascón said Tuesday. \"The pay-to-play system that has worked in San Francisco so well for so long has to end, and we believe this is the beginning of that process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He did not elaborate on any additional prosecutions that might be in the works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The creation of the task force formalizes cooperation between local prosecutors and the FBI, according to district attorney and FBI officials. It solidifies the involvement of special agents with experience and authorization to work undercover, seek court-ordered wiretaps and cultivate informants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those tactics give FBI agents investigating public corruption \"a front-row seat to witness the actual exchange of bribe money or a backroom handshake that seals an illegal deal ... and enough evidence to send the culprits to prison,\" according to an \u003ca href=\"https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2010/march/corruption_032610\" target=\"_blank\">FBI primer\u003c/a> listing public corruption as the bureau's top criminal priority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That kind of work often results in a federal prosecution, like that of former state Sen. Leland Yee, who \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/01/former-state-sen-leland-yee-may-have-struck-plea-deal-with-feds\" target=\"_blank\">pleaded guilty\u003c/a> to a single racketeering count after he was snared in the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/07/25/new-federal-charges-against-state-senator-leland-yee\" target=\"_blank\">FBI's investigation\u003c/a> into Chinatown crime boss Raymond \"Shrimp Boy\" Chow. Yee is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 24.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorneys for Yee and the recently convicted Chow made public some evidence recorded by undercover FBI agents that appears to implicate other San Francisco political players in campaign money laundering and pay-to-play schemes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal prosecutors have been notably absent from Gascón's joint announcements with the FBI. A spokesman for the Northern California U.S. Attorney's Office declined to comment Tuesday on the newly announced task force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford Law Professor Robert Weisberg said local political graft is often easier to charge in state court, because federal charges would have to involve crimes like wire fraud and other illegal activity that crosses state lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You may well view this as a kind of cooperative loan of FBI resources to the DA,\" he said, adding that it's far from unprecedented for federal agents to help local prosecutors with investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area FBI Special Agent in Charge David Johnson indicated that federal prosecutors are being kept in the loop, though.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Close collaboration with both state and federal prosecutors will allow for prompt decisions on jurisdiction,\" he said. \"Through this joint effort, we continue to send the message to the residents of San Francisco and those who hold public office that we will not tolerate this type of criminal activity.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

It solidifies the involvement of special agents with experience and authorization to work undercover, seek court-ordered wiretaps and cultivate informants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Leland Yee, who \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/01/former-state-sen-leland-yee-may-have-struck-plea-deal-with-feds\" target=\"_blank\">pleaded guilty\u003c/a> to a single racketeering count after he was snared in the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/07/25/new-federal-charges-against-state-senator-leland-yee\" target=\"_blank\">FBI's investigation\u003c/a> into Chinatown crime boss Raymond \"Shrimp Boy\" Chow. Yee is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 24.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorneys for Yee and the recently convicted Chow made public some evidence recorded by undercover FBI agents that appears to implicate other San Francisco political players in campaign money laundering and pay-to-play schemes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal prosecutors have been notably absent from Gascón's joint announcements with the FBI. A spokesman for the Northern California U.S. Attorney's Office declined to comment Tuesday on the newly announced task force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford Law Professor Robert Weisberg said local political graft is often easier to charge in state court, because federal charges would have to involve crimes like wire fraud and other illegal activity that crosses state lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You may well view this as a kind of cooperative loan of FBI resources to the DA,\" he said, adding that it's far from unprecedented for federal agents to help local prosecutors with investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area FBI Special Agent in Charge David Johnson indicated that federal prosecutors are being kept in the loop, though.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Close collaboration with both state and federal prosecutors will allow for prompt decisions on jurisdiction,\" he said. \"Through this joint effort, we continue to send the message to the residents of San Francisco and those who hold public office that we will not tolerate this type of criminal activity.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
