As Harmon commenced a parallel effort to the US Justice Department in
the summer of 2001 while continuing to seek justice in Colorado, this
too seemed doomed from the beginning. His Canadian attorney, Alan Gold
made a connection with his American colleague and high level Washington
DC attorney, Bill Moffitt to take the case to the US Justice Department
with a request for a full investigation. As reported earlier, Mr.
Moffitt was quickly lured away by political influence, and less than 6
weeks into the effort embarrassed Mr. Gold by abandoning the case. Mr.
Gold then took the case directly to the US Justice Department with
Harmon's full package and report. With all of the evidence presented
through President Bill Clinton's US Justice Department, (The man who
"Did not have sex with that woman") through their Public Integrity
Section (Imagine that!) the request for investigation was rejected at
year end 2000 while Clinton was literally a "lame duck" (Surprised?).
In January, 2001 the government baton was handed over to the new George
W. Bush administration where John Suthers as Bush's Colorado Republican
constituent was actually appointed Federal Attorney for the State of
Colorado. A supplement to the original package was sent in February,
2002 to the Bush administration prior to Suthers' appointment including
evidence on his and Jeanne Smith's political corruption and pointing out
that Suthers' pending appointment by President Bush to the position of
US Attorney for Colorado was inappropriate and should be further
investigated.
In January, 2000, Harmon received word from a Canadian investigative
reporter interested in his case that Michael Witty, the former El Paso
County Administrator found guilty in the Fund's embezzlement scheme; the
same man that Harmon had forced DA's John Suthers and Jeanne Smith to
investigate and prosecute by reporting their cover-up to the FBI, had
his case and charges dismissed. The reason for his dismissal was due to
DA's Smith and Suthers' "CONFLICT"! Literally the same complaint that
Harmon had lodged in his case that was summarily ignored! Harmon's
original report to the DA, the Fund directors and the FBI clearly
denoted that Dan May, as Deputy DA to Suther's and Smith while placed on
the original Fund embezzlement investigation was also a Fund board
member with an obvious conflict! Imagine when forced to prosecute, with
full knowledge of the conflict, DA's Suthers and Smith set up a
scenario where their "Good Old Boy" club member, Michael Witty would be
guaranteed a dismissal soon after his conviction due to their known
conflict! Well, it would seem that the bad guys have carefully planned
their way out of their mess, and Harmon ends up being the scapegoat to
be punished severely for standing up to the corruption and blowing the
whistle. This certainly gives new definition to, "The Land of the Free
and the Home of the Brave"; .... free to be as corrupt as you like, as
long as you have the political power to bravely pull it off!
As a final effort towards ensuring the safety and well being of his
two children, Danielle Wilfred and Isaac Wilfred, in spite of the
Jeanne Smith's and John Suthers' corruption; from January through March,
2001 Harmon approached the Colorado family court from the safety of
Canada by Motion in the Dearna case. By court order he had received no
communication and no news of the children's well being since they were
returned to their abusive mother by the DA and the Colorado Courts two
years earlier. In cooperation with his ex-wife Dearna's Denver
attorney, Jeffrey Herren, the Court agreed to place a special child
advocate on the case to provide counselling and evaluation and to be a
required intermediary for limited communication between Harmon and his
children. As Dearna had moved the children several times already and
had now fled the state to avoid service for depositions, court ordered
evaluations and contempt orders; and after Harmon and Carolyn provided a
$5,000 retainer to Court approved California psychologist Dr. Ira
Gorman, Dearna violated this court order by refusing initial
communication, providing limited access to Dr. Gorman and ultimately
moved again to avoid being served another contempt order for her
rebellious actions. After some limited counseling for the children, Dr.
Gorman did provide a serious and in his words, "concerning" report by
telephone that Isaac was very aggressive and Danielle very withdrawn,
and he needed more time with them to provide additional counseling to
get to the bottom of their difficulties. This was not to be so. Dearna
simply moved the children again in complete defiance of the Court order
and disregard of the well being of the children. These actions took
place with no further attempts from the court to stop her contempt.
In March of 2001, with bogus phone calls being made to their Canadian
home by process servers from Colorado attempting further harassment
through the Canadian justice system, and having tried everything they
could to expose the corruption and restore Harmon's constitutional and
parental rights in both the US, Canada and through the Hague Commission,
to no avail; Harmon and Carolyn left Ontario for the Canadian west
coast and ultimately arrived in New Zealand in August, 2001 to start
life over.

Questions:
-
At
the risk of being totally redundant, the question must be asked again
as to how the USJD could possibly ignore Harmon's request for an
investigation with the evidence of corruption presented? Could it be
that it simply was not taken seriously due to the government changeover
from Clinton to Bush? Lost in the shuffle?
-
With
the USJD Public Integrity Section's mandate also including conflicts of
interest in prosecutions, again, how could they ignore the clear
conflicts involving Harmon's case that even the Colorado Court
ultimately recognized by dismissing Witty's charges? Were they asleep
when they read Harmon's case book or were they directed to ignore it by
someone higher up? The White House perhaps?
-
Why
were the Colorado criminal and family courts so focused on prosecuting
Harmon to the detriment of his children? How could any system not
recognize that children in child abuse come first on the agenda,
especially when placed back into the abuse by the system?
-
Who
was instructing and financing Deana's multiple relocations from state
to state in definace of the court and why didn't the court make an
effort to stop this illegal behavior?
-
Were
reports on the children's psychological well being ever reported to the
court, and if so, what did they say and what did the court ever do
about it, if anything?
