Analyst dean johnson who says its not illegal to give money to a Politicians Campaign expecting to influence that politician. Also not illegal for a politician to take into account the wishes of contributors when making decisions. The illeague part is if theres a blatant exchange of money for political favors, and johnson says proving that can be tricky because prosecutors have to get inside yees head and prove his intent. Even in the fbis own affidavits they say there were numerous protests by senator yee that this is not play for pay. Im not exchanging money for a promise to do an act. Reporter johnson says yees attorney will also likely argue that the fbi entrapped yee by setting up such an elaborate sting that had made up crimes that in the end never took place and the case will also depend on how much video and audio evidence there is, and he assumes there is such evidence. Yee is expected to appear in Court Tomorrow to tell the judge who will be handling his defense. Nbc bay area
