This is just breaking news story, but what I know from a KSTE news broadcast moments ago is another prominent democrat in the Los Angeles area is caught up in an FBI sting operation. Los Angeles County Assessor John Noguez-D is charged with a mountain of criminal charges for corruption. Noguez is Noguez is accused of taking $185,000 in bribes from Ramin Salari. Noguez is a well known democrat campaign fundraiser.
Next up…this story is tied to the one below that appeared in the New York Times: AP – “SACRAMENTO, Calif. — So far in 2014, each month has brought news of another arrest or conviction of a Democratic California state senator. The separate investigations culminated Wednesday in the arrest of Sen. Leland Yee of San Francisco on federal corruption charges that roiled the capital, leading one of Yee’s opponents in the race for secretary of state to call the Legislature a “corrupt institution.
pdate at noon:
Three Democratic lawmakers were either arrested or had their office raided Wednesday by the FBI.
Two of the Democrats, including Charlotte, N.C. Mayor Patrick Cannon, were charged in connection with FBI stings that caught them allegedly taking bribes from undercover agents. Coupled with an FBI raid that led to the resignation of a prominent Democratic lawmaker in Rhode Island this past weekend, four Democrats have recently come under the FBI’s radar.
Here are the four:
New York state assemblyman
The FBI raided Democratic New York Assemblyman William Scarborough’s Albany office Wednesday morning and also took papers from his office in Jamaica, Queens. The feds confronted him at 5:45 a.m. in a hotel room, where they seized his smartphone. FBI investigators asked Scarborough about per diem reimbursements received by state lawmakers.
“I’m innocent, but I understand the reality,” Scarborough told reporters at the state capitol Wednesday. “I don’t know what’s going to go on. I am going to talk to a lawyer, this is just stunning to me.”
Scarborough was first elected to the Assembly from a primarily Queens County district in 1994.
California state senator
Democratic California state Sen. Leland Yee was arrested Wednesday for wire fraud and conspiracy to deal firearms as part of an FBI sweep in Sacramento and the Bay Area. The gun-control proponent allegedly conspired to facilitate an undercover agent’s purchase of illegal firearms, which would be imported through a port in Newark, N.J.
Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow, an organized crime figure in Chinatown, was arrested as part of the investigation that nabbed Yee.
Yee allegedly traded “official acts” for donations from undercover agents, and took $10,000 from an undercover agent to make a call to the California Department of Public Health passing along kind words about a potential contractor.
Yee was elected to the California State Assembly in 2002 and to the State Senate in 2006. He placed fifth in the 2011 San Francisco mayoral race, running up a $70,000 debt prior to his alleged crimes.
Third time in three months a Demoncrat has been indicted. And there’s plenty more corruption where that came from. This is what happens when one party has a monopoly on power.
There is a culture of corruption in Sucramento.
And on another subject the lamestream media is proclaiming Obammie care a big success now that they supposedly have met the goal of 6 million enrollees.
But how many have paid their premiums? How many medical providers are willing to see patients with the coverage? There are reports of people having problems finding providers.
And how on earth are the people being heavily subsidized who had no coverage before are going to be able to afford the huge deductibles? Like that guy in the Snooze and Review who only has to pay $1 a month but has a $6000 deductible.
Dang, I stand corrected. It’s FOUR Demoncrats in the last three months!
And let’s not forget the biggest Democrat crook of all, Charlie Rangel. His Wikipedia page reads like the poster child for all of the state Dems currently being arrested.
After being censured by Congress and losing his chair position for the Ways and Means committee there is no mention of him being federally charged let alone convicted for the tax evasion claims against him.

Nope, it’s five and counting. There’s another one in Illinois who was healthy enough to win his election on Tuesday, but resigned on Wednesday for “health reasons: after the FBI took his personal and legislative computers looking for child porn.
