FBI Investigating Coleman

[CatWoman]

The FBI is investigating allegations that former Senator Norm Coleman had clothing and other items purchased on his behalf by a longtime friend and businessman Nasser Kazeminy, according to a source in Minnesota who was interviewed recently by federal agents.

E.K. Watkins, a spokesman for the Minnesota FBI, would neither confirm nor deny the report. The source provided details of the interview to the Huffington Post, in addition to copies of business cards left by the agents.

The FBI has also been conducting interviews in Texas, according to media reports, in regards to different allegations that Kazeminy tried to steer $75,000 to Coleman through his wife's employer. Up to this point, there have not been reports of any FBI work taking place in Coleman's home state.

The Minnesota source said the FBI questioning focused on whether Kazeminy had purchased clothing on Coleman's behalf, reports of which surfaced in October. At the time, Coleman vehemently denied the allegations. "Nobody but me and my wife buy my suits," he said.

The source, who requested to speak anonymously to discuss the matter more frankly, said that payments made to the company that employed the former senator's wife, Laurie Coleman, were also addressed.

6. The GOP will probably brand this as an obvious attempt by Obama

to force Coleman to withdraw his legal challenge against Franken.

Between you and me, I hope the story grows legs.

12. Knowing my idiot Senator

i.e. John Cornyn, Repulsive-TX, he'll keep fighting to keep Franken out even Coleman
withdraws altogether from what's left of this farce. For months, it's been a question
not of getting Coleman seated, but of delaying Franken from being seated.

Coleman was a boring colorless right wing robot. Franken is a funny, witty, very quoteable
charismatic man who would be in the news constantly. Guys like Cornyn fear guys like Franken
like wounded deer fear Bengal tigers.
