Minnesota Dems File FEC Complaint Against Coleman Over Kazeminy Case
The Minnesota Democrats have announced that they're filing an FEC complaint against Norm Coleman, arguing that he may have broken the law by using campaign funds for personal legal expenses in the Nasser Kazeminy case -- a lawsuit in Texas that charges, among other things, that a Coleman donor conspired to funnel payments to Coleman via his wife.
"Five months ago, former Senator Norm Coleman told us that he was seeking an opinion from the Federal Election Commission to ensure that he was following the law," DFL Party chairman Brian Melendez says in the release. "Now it appears that he never sought such an opinion and, more to the point, that he was and is breaking the law by diverting campaign money for personal use."
Usually, a political party's FEC complaint against a rival politician ends up going nowhere fast. On the other hand, this is just one more thing for Norm Coleman to worry about right now.

Good. More legal fees for the Republicans to pay.

When Ford pardoned Nixon the Republicans decided they could get away with anything. It's time to put a stop to these scofflaws. On election night Coleman asked Franken to do the honorable thing and cede the race like a gentleman. Since that time Coleman has been being nothing but a little SOB. The more stumbling blocks he has the better.
Why not a stand-up comedian in the Senate? We just had eight years of a clown in the White House.
