Lawsuit: Pal Tried To Steer Cash To Coleman First

[sabra]

Source: CBS News/Politico

(The Politico) We just received a PDF of the second lawsuit filed against Norm Coleman pal Nasser Kazeminy, who allegedly steered $75,000 to a Minnesota insurance company that employs Coleman wife.

Much of the new material echoes allegations made by its former CEO Paul McKim in a previous lawsuit filed in Texas.

Still, there are a couple of new nuggets in the Nov. 3 complaint in Delaware by investors in Kazeminy-controlled Deep Marine Technology.

The Texas lawsuit quotes Kazeminy saying he needed to get cash to Coleman because "U.S. Senators don't make ."

But the second lawsuit alleges -- and it's breathtakingly stupid if true -- that Kazeminy at first ordered DMT execs to pay Coleman directly.

"Our clients were advised that Mr. Kazeminy first sought to have DMT make quarterly cash payments of $25,000 to Senator Norm Coleman of Minnesota," writes plaintiff's attorney Anthony Paduano, citing a "confidential" informant.

2. Wow! Recommended!

3. Coleman REALLY needs to hope that he loses the recount

If he quietly fades into the night he MIGHT escape prison. If he doesn't his is only going to get uglier.

And that, would make me very happy for things to get even more ugly for Norm, a man with a most ugly soul.

4. Coleman would join Stevens

In getting expelled from the Senate if he doesn't step down.

7. Not sure I understand

Was this guy trying to give money to Coleman directly, without involving the campaign?
If so, can they pin this on Coleman, or is the "donor" legally liable?.... Both?

11. Wow, I just have to say, this has certainly been an interesting

election.

I've detested that empty suit (and emptier soul) Coleman fro back when he was St. Paul's Mayor.

12. [evil laugh] Mwahahahahahahahahaha! [/evil laugh]

Normie, the chickens are coming home to roost. Or is that crows? Whatever. This time even your sleazeball friends at the Star-Tribune won't be able to help you by not covering the story - it's too big now.

I still have to hope for the recount to go Al's way. If slimey Norm gets it and then gets convicted, slimeball Pawlenty will appoint another scuzzy Repub to replace him.

13. more wil be revealed

Norm better hope that he loses the recount so he can slip away to obscurity instead of prison!

[pleah]

14. K&R I wonder when he is going to hit bottom.

I can't wait to see what else hits the fan concerning Coleman.
