The Star Tribune notes that Norm and Laurie Coleman, her boss, Jim Hays, and Coleman Supporter Nasser Kazemini have all high-powered retained lawyers on a matter currently being investigated by the FBI, in which allegations have been made that Kazemini funneled money to Norm Coleman via Laurie Coleman, using Jim Hays insurance company as a conduit.
The interesting paragraph in the article, and I did not catch it, the good folks at TPMMuckraker did is this:
Norm Coleman has hired Doug Kelley, Laurie Coleman is represented by Earl Gray, Hays is aligned with Doug Peterson and Kazeminy has secured the services of Joe Friedberg.
Norm and Laurie have separate lawyers. While this does not mean that they will roll on each other…yet…but it does mean that this is serious, and that they are taking this very seriously.
Heh.
