Search Warrant for Collin Finn's Apartment / DA's Mitsu Note Investigation Docs
|
Section 19 provides the Search Warrant for Collin Finn’s residence, person and car. Collin
was Harmon’s long standing friend and fellow investigator in DA’s John
Suthers and Jeanne Smith’s participation in the El Paso County Pension
Fund Embezzlement Scheme. This “search” was purported to be in relation
to the Mitsubishi Note deal where the authorities were trying to prove
the authenticated note to be fraudulent and thus incriminate those
working to sell it. In actual fact, the
documents taken in these searches were ones directly related to Suthers’
and Smith’s involvement in the cover-up of the Pension Fund
embezzlement. An entire file box of Mitsubishi note documentation sitting in plain sight was untouched.

Questions:
- When
Collin Finn communicated to the DA that he was prepared to fully
cooperate with any and all investigations regarding the Mitsubishi
transaction, why was it necessary to get a warrant, break in to his
apartment when he was not present, confiscate unrelated evidence to the
warrant (The Suthers / Smith pension fund embezzlement cover-up
investigation documents) and take his business computer?
- Who
was responsible for making the Mitsubishi Note sale public? Why was an
entire box of Mitsubishi Note information left behind and all of the
evidence of the DA Suther’s / Smith Fund embezzlement cover-up taken and
not even listed in the evidence inventory?
- Was
it a coincidence that this search took place the day after Harmon’s
attorney, Dale Parrish attended a meeting with DA Jeanne Smith and
Deputy DA Bob Harward and threatened them with the use of the connection
between the charges and Harmon’s having blown the whistle on the DA’s
cover-up of the Fund embezzlement as Harmon’s affirmative defense?
