A second lawsuit against Norm Coleman casts more doubt on his credibility

Coleman does not look happy at all!
The Minnesota Independent states:
This second lawsuit was filed by shareholders against Coleman while the first lawsuit was filed by the Founder, who is a Republican and they allege that the $75,000 did go to Coleman:

"The lawsuit was brought by MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS OF DEEP MARINE TECHNOLOGY, a Houston-based firm that provides underwater services to oil companies. It alleges that Kazeminy utilized the firm to funnel $75,000 to the Republican senator through payments to his wife, Laurie Coleman, via the Minneapolis insurance company where she works."

"Sen. Coleman has denied the allegation, calling it a “sleazy” political attack, and blaming the controversy on his Democratic opponent. Al Franken’s campaign has denied any connection to the lawsuit."
PAUL MCKIM, the founder of Deep Marine Technology, WHO FILED THE INITIAL LAWSUIT in Texas on Monday, insists that the dispute is not politically motivated. In fact, he claims to have never heard of Coleman prior to the dust-up with Kazeminy. “It’s just weird timing with Senator Coleman and all this,” McKim tells the Pioneer Press. “I know how it must look, but it’s really not political. I feel bad for him and his family. I don’t know the gentleman, and I’m not a political guy. I’m just an old deep-sea diver. And I’m a Republican.”
