This is what frosts my arse. For their part, California Democrats are distancing themselves from Yee. He has been suspended from the Senate with pay. Gov. Jerry Brown has called on him to resign. Yee himself has withdrawn from his race for Secretary of State. He is free at this writing on a $500,000 unsecured bond.
Update as of today he now faces 8 felony charges as decided by the grand jury. And no chance for a plea deal there is some hope.
