Is this what donors thought they were funding when they wrote a check to Norm Coleman's campaign for the recount and legal challenge?
Former Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) has requested permission to use his campaign funds for legal fees relating to a lawsuit filed against a campaign donor, according to documents from the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
Coleman donor Nasser Kazeminy has been accused of ordering $75,000 in payments to a firm that employed Coleman's wife, Laurie Coleman, in a lawsuit filed in Texas. Coleman is not a defendant in the lawsuit, but he has been forced to respond to certain aspects of the case that involve him. The lawsuit alleges Kazeminy tried to benefit Coleman with the payments.
Makes you wonder where their priorities are -- making sure Minnesota has its entire congressional delegation or dragging out the legal process so the Democratic conference doesn't get to 60 and Coleman doesn't end up in front of a judge faster than he otherwise would?
