ACCUSATION – OUTGOING CHAIR HORN COMMITS CRIMINAL FRAUD TO ENRICH HER PERSONAL ATTORNEY<\/em><\/h2>\n

Misleads Judge Into Issuing Judgement That CO GOP Owes Klenda $231,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brita Horn\u2019s final act as CO GOP Chair \u2013 before resigning in disgrace \u2013 was to
\nlaunch a financial attack on the CO GOP aimed at crippling the Party heading
\ninto the midterms and potentially for years to come.<\/p>\n

Hours before her resignation was to take eAect Horn and her personal
\nattorney Steve Klenda secretly went to court and got the judge to sign oA on an
\noAicial agreement that the CO GOP owed and had to pay Klenda $231,000
\ndollars plus interest and waived all defenses. This was not the judge who had
\nbeen handling lawsuits involving Horn, Klenda and party members and was
\nfamiliar with Horn and Klenda antics.<\/p>\n

Instead, they deliberately sought a judge who had none of the necessary
\nbackground information.<\/p>\n

Klenda told the judge the Party owed him $231,000 dollars plus 18% interest.
\nHorn who told the judge as Chair she represented the Party \u2013 agreed with
\nKlenda. So, the judge granted Klenda\u2019s motion for the judgement.<\/p>\n

Horn and Klenda hid from the judge the fact that Horn was resigning in a
\nmatter of hours, they hid any and all information about the ongoing dispute
\nover Klenda\u2019s hiring and billing. Including the fact that the owed amount
\nincludes $90,000 of Horn\u2019s personal legal bills. (BTW This is not the first time
\nHorn and Klenda misled a court \u2013 they previously told a judge the CO GOP
\nSCC did not pass a motion to fire Klenda and then had to backtrack when a
\nvideo showed them wrong).<\/p>\n

The level of spite and vindictiveness is hard to believe. But keeping crucial,
\npertinent information from the judge could potentially be fraud on the court
\nand arguably criminal. The ethical conflicts are mind boggling.<\/p>\n

Vice Chair Eric Grossman says CO GOP lawyers will fight this. But as it stands
\nnow, Klenda, through Brita\u2019s betrayal, is oAicially owed $231,000 plus 18
\npercent interest. The Party was already bankrupted by Horn\u2019s disastrous
\nleadership and as of May 1st Klenda can seize whatever money is in current
\nParty bank accounts and assets and any future money until he gets the
\n$231,000 plus interest. (BTW the 18% interest Horn agreed to is far in excess
\nof the normal judgment interest of 8%).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear what\u2019s in this for Klenda and the obvious question is \u2013 what\u2019s in it for
\nBrita? As always, follow the money.<\/p>\n
