Court Docs: GOP Donor Secretly Funneled $75k To Coleman Family

Sam Stein at Huffington Post:

The CEO of a major marine technology company is alleging that he was pressured by a friend and associate of Norm Coleman to secretly funnel tens of thousands of dollars to the Senator's family.

Paul McKim, the founder and CEO of Deep Marine Technology, alleges in a civil suit that Nasser Kazeminy -- a longtime Republican donor, friend of Coleman, and DMT shareholder -- directed the company to send $75,000 to the Senator and his wife.

The transaction, which occurred in 2007, allegedly went as follows: DMT would make payments for services to Kazeminy's Hays Company, even though no services would be rendered. Since Norm Coleman's wife Laurie worked at Hays, that money would be given to her in the form of 'salary.'

1. Oh, yeah? Well... Al Franken said some things that weren't funny! So THERE!

Oh, I think Franken is going to win this one.

4. I think so too

I just hope this little tidbit gets out there. It's already caused Coleman
to drop a ridiculous lawsuit against Franken. He's such a worm.
