My letter sent to Senator Bob Casey

March 22,2023

Dear Senator Bob Casey.

I am a senior citizen and have been a victim of legal abuse and blatant corruption in my high asset divorce case that was deliberately delayed for 5 years and accomplished by bad attorneys and judges all willing to assist the bad attorneys .

I am now a 66 year old retired Private Investigator and was married to my husband for 20 years

Due to this blatant corruption and Judge Harry Smails proven hatred for me , as seen on transcripts,

I was denied my 2.5 million in marital assets despite the proof that our estate was over 5 million.

I was left with no credit, left homeless, or the ability to access funds to appeal and continue to be homeless I was left unable to find and afford a new home to live in.

Westmoreland County Court of Common Please Family court was and remains out of control.

And unfortunately the future doesn’t look any better considering one of the worst judges Harry Smail , that I have proven and many others complained about and have also proven he is not fit to be a judge and now most unconscionably he is running in the May 2023 election for Superior Court judge of Pennsylvania. Should he win more people will be harmed because he follows no laws

I am sending this to you to review because many citizens in all of our courts are experiencing the harm I continue to suffer from corruption in the court system.

I am willing to provide the documents, orders, transcripts and attorney correspondence to substantiate my claims. My story is only one of billions of people and children who have been victimized by a corrupt family court system

I intend to expose how the self policing disciplinary board reacts to citizens reports of corruption and the fraud that this court has ignored

The unlawful strategies

I am willing to provide the prime facia evidence to confirm my allegations are true and correct which are copies my complaint letters as exhibit A and B and C and D to be attached here to as part of my complaint sent to Senator Bob Casey on March 17,2023

Exhibits A Formal Complaints sent to Mr. Friedman of the PA disciplinary board . The Pennsylvania disciplinary board dismissed all my complaints and evidence against Attorney Linda Whalen attorney Heidi Norton, Attorney/master Eric Bononi, Attorney/ master Henry Moore, Attorney Travis Dunn

Mr. Friedman of the PA disciplinary board ignored proof of BRIBERY involving Attorney / master Eric Bononi was bribed with ten thousand dollars from my husbands attorney

Linda Whalen that she unlawfully took from my own monthly $3,750.00 a month retirement annuity income . She did that to financially suppress me from defending my self . This proved attorney Linda Whalen filed false documents claiming. Her client was only receiving seven thousand a month.

This was reported to pa domestic relations and they failed-to force him to pay the correct APL for 5 years. have ignored the forensic proof that my husband was committing spousal support fraud for 5 years. They were aware of the husband receiving 20 thousand a month after taxes to live on before and during the divorce. while only reprtin 7 thousnd a month income. She and the court are aware that the husband owese me over 250,000.00 in back support to present date

EXTRINSIC FRAUD WAS IGNORED

Attorney Linda Whalen and my own attorney Heidi Norton committed extrinsic fraud by illegally taking my annuity income, held hostage and used it as a slush to pay each other .

The court and the attorneys denied me my own annuity retirement income for 5 years. And preventing me from appealing an unconscionable final order that gave my husband our entire 5 million dollar estate. The order was ( prepared By the husbands attorney Linda Whalen in July 2017 and just signed By Judge Smail.

Then unconscionably both Judge Smail and Whalen , while controlling my retirement income refused to release any of my annuity funds to Hire Appellate Attorney Nicole Karies who prepared an engagement letter in August 2017 within the 30 days to appeal, for the court They knew I could not appeal this most unconscionable final distribution order.

Both attorneys conspired and committed (EXTRINSIC FRAUD ) WHEN THEY took MY MONTHLY INCOME from me on December 19, 2012 without my knowledge or consent.

Exhibits B My complaints to the Pennsylvania judicial conduct board multiple times against Judge Christian Scherer and Judge Harry Smail

Exhibits C Includes both boards decisions to ignore thev prime facia evidence in my complaints about lawyers and Judge Christian Scherer and Judge Harry Smail

Exhibits D All my follow up letters to both boards explaining

These Boards are ignoring the many unlawful strategies that lawyers and judges are committing every day especially in high asset divorce and custody cases ;

The Pennsylvania disciplinary board and the judicial conduct board ignored prima facia evidence proving serious crimes and corruption, including bribing attorney Eric Bononi and the master chosen by opposing counsel Linda Whalen who paid him a bribe of 10 thousand dollars before master hearings began.

I presented them with prim facia evidence ,as seen in the attached

Below are a few examples of how the husbands Attorney , Linda Whalen’s used unlawful strategies to win her case.

1. To appoint Eric Bononi as a master of her choice, who failed to follow the rules

2. Starve me, the dependent spouse, by taking my income in order to prevent me from defending myself in the deliberately delayed high asset divorce for

5 years.

3. Extrinsic fraud was ignored I proved there was extrinsic fraud committed in my case when the husbands attorney and my own attorney created a fake POA on 4-17 -2013 to take control my monthly retirement annuity income .

4. Done To Deliberately done to financially suppress me. Better known as a dirty divorce attorney Strategy to starve the dependent spouse. All was ignored by everyone.

5. Judge Smail ignored my forensic accountant Alex Kindlers disposable income report in 2015 report showing that my husband was making $20,000 a month income after taxes during the entire five year divorce. During that time he was only reporting that he was making $7000 a month. So he’s guilty of spousal support fraud and it was reported and it was also ignored by

judge Smail

6. I reported all of these crimes to the IRS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AND Pennsylvania Child Support domestic relations who are to make sure that you do get your fair spousal support during a divorce all was ignored.

7. Unfortunately one of the common The Dirty tricks and unlawful strategy attorney Whalen used in this divorce is , by financially suppressing me not only prevented me from having the funds to defend myself and to have discovery done her strategy to financially suppress me led to me losing my perfect credit which still affects my credit rating and leaves me unable to even rent without a good credit rating. I was left with over $40,000 of marital debt from credit cards and taxes that weren’t paid in the final order that attorney Wayland prepared for judge mail.

attorney Whalens strategy also led to me being evicted from the marital home during the master hearings before any money was distributed and having me evicted but I had no access to my own money to find a place to live.

judge smail evicted me from the marital home by claiming that I did not pay my taxes when there was proof that the taxes were paid and the proof was actually on the electronic docket however that document that was dated 9/29/15 was removed from the electronic docket as though I never paid my taxes which allowed him then to proceed to evict me in March of 2016 with no place to go to no funds to find a place to live no credit and with the threat of having the police come to the home and throw me out if I did not leave his order gave a case law that he thought related to my case however it actually related more to me then to him being able to evict me I’ll provide the case law in a future document.

ABUSING A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIM BY JUDGE SMAIL

I was a domestic violence victim with video proof of my husband hurting me , yet judge smail felt it was his duty to evict me and leave me homeless knowing that my husband was getting $20,000 a month and comfortably living in a condo and he was having me evicted knowing I had nowhere to go and he violated the Pennsylvania domestic violence laws

EVIDENCE OF SMAILS MISUSE OF POWER

seen transcripts from March 4, 2016 during an Exparte meeting with judge Smail my husband and attorney Linda Whalen that he will call the state police and have me removed if I am not out of the home by March 16th 2016.

He ignored the Pennsylvania law does not allow a domestic violence victim to be made homeless during a divorce and allow the perpetrator to move back into the marital home when the financially suppressed spouse cannot afford to find a new place to live during the divorce.

JUDGE SMAILS DOCKET TAMPERING WAS IGNORED

Judge Smail was involved with docket tampering per ProthonotaryChristina O’Brien’s confirmation she said the only people who can remove a document from the docket would be her as the prothonotary or the judge and that would be judge smail. She said that I had proven there was docket tampering and it was a federal offense and she was going to report it to everyone because that docket tampering allowed judge smail to threaten me with police to leave my home during a divorce wow he knew I had no funds the opposing council was holding my money hostage all of this can be proven with emails transcripts even printouts from the official docket proving there was docket tampering just to get me evicted from the home and leave me homeless which I remained to this day.

DOCKET TAMPERING WAS PROVEN AND I FILED A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT WITH DA JOHN PECK

There was a reason for Judge Smails to commit Docket tampering.judge smail is guity of docket tampering , which By removing a document that proves I paid my taxes. Which then gave him an opportunity to evict me from the home by falsely claiming I didnt pay the taxes, when I had proof THE TAXES WERE PAID on the docket on 9-29-15

PRIME FACIA EVIDENCE OF DOCKET TAMPERING WAS PRESENTED BY ME AND SENT THE PROTHONOTARY AND THE COURT AND DISTRICT ATTORNEY JOHN PECK THE EVIDENCE WAS IRREFUTABLE AS IT WAS EMAILS BETWEEN THE PROTHONOTARY CHRISTINE OBRIEN WHERE SHE THANKED ME FOR FINDING THE PRINT OUTS OF BEFORE AND AFTER PRINTOUTS OF THE ELECTRONIC DOCKET WITH MY TAXES PAID DOCUMENT DATED 9-29-2015 THAT WAS SUSPICIALLY REMOVED FROM THE ELECTRONIC DOCKET IN DECEMBER 2015 ,

Judge Smail denied me my own money to hire an appellate attorney as seen on the docket, after he signed Attorney Whalens prepared final order. This was done without a settlement agreement or a pretrial statement . Whalens order gave my husband the entire $5 million estate and denied me any future income and stole 2.5 million from me.

Deliberately delayed the divorce As it became evident that the delay was providing the attorneys with income well not performing their duties. The crimes committed by the judges and others lead me to file a CIVIL RICO IN JULY 2018

It is clear that these deliberate delays are providing unjustified income for many people unlawfully and

using the court as a racketeering enterprise. As explained below:

Instead of the judges and attorneys following g the rules regarding a divorce and dividing assets in Pennsylvania including doing the normal discovery and working on dividing the assets this court and the attorneys spent five years on hearings to try to evict me from the home delaying the case repeatedly having multiple vexatious hearings for dog visits and other frivolous requests before any discovery was done

THE CORRUPT Judge Harry Smail from Westmoreland County, PA . signed an order written by opposing counsel Attorney Linda Whalen that order was missing 2.5 million in my deliberately delayed 5 year long divorce.

JUDGE SMAILS DELBERATE MALFEASANCE IS ON THE RECORD

Judge SMAIL refused to make the other side provide full disclosure, as he sided with. Attorney Whalen D

He refused to collect $300,000.00 owed to me in back support, as my husband was proven by my forensic accountant to be grossly under reporting his income since 2012.

DENIED ME A FAIR TRIAL

He refused to recuse 5 times long before the unconscionable order that opposing counsel prepared for him on 7-19-17 . He wrongfully evicted me from the home 2 years ago and left me homeless, He knew my husband was violent and I had a pfa issued after he injured my wrist in 2012 in a drunken rage. Yet this judge refused to extend it and evicted me. I am 61 years old and was married for 20 years to my abusive husband.

HE IGNORED BRIBERY

The judge knows that my husbands attorney paid a master of her choice a $10,000.00 Bribe to go their way and

he did.

The judge refused to release my own met life-retirement Monthly annuity income

That was held hostage by the opposing attorney for five years,

they were illegally financially suppressing me.so that I couldn’t defend myself or appeal the unconscionable order.

They refused to to release it so I could hire an appellate attorney to appeal the order that is missing 2.5 million.

Judge Smail Ignored my properly filed a motions to vacate the fraudulent order

In November 2017 while trying to get an attorney who would wait for payment until after the settlement ,

I had to do since they refused to give me my own money to defend myself.

November 2017. Judge Smail threatened me with jail. Unless I SIGNED over 4 parcels of joint property before hearing my my motions to vacate due to the proof that extrinsic fraud was used to prepare the final orde.

Over the 5 years I have sent complaints to the boards and law enforcement and have had no success in finding some help.

JUDGE SMAIL AND SCHERER FAILED TO MANDATORILY EXPLAIN AS REQUIRED WHY THEY DELAYED MY CASE FOR FIVE YEARS

EVIDENCE OF INCOMPLETE 703 REPORTS I PROVIDED TO THE JCB WAS IGNORED

NEITHER JUDGE SMAIL OR SCHERER FILED THE REQUIRED 703 REPORTS 7on my case because there is

no legal explaination to why he has delayed this case.

JUDGE SMAIL MISUSE OF CONTEMPT POWER

He allowed a bogus contempt hearing to continue for 9 months while charging me 100.00 a day in fines and

additional fines for 70,000.00 a total of $87,000.00 for a contempt he knew was bogus.

FAILED TO TIMELY DEPOSIT $17.600 and never placed in the Prothonotary where it should have been immediately

OFFICIAL RECORDS ARE AVAILABLE TO PROVE ALL IS TRUE

Judge Smails failed to deposit that $17,600 from contempt fines and for over nine months and then deposited in the Judicial fundamental fund.

JUDGE SMAIL COMMITTED MALFEASENCE AND TREASON

WHEN he watched my husband commit suborning perjury during

bogus contempt hearing against me and did nothing about it.

JUDGE SMAIL INTERFERED WITH MY WITNESSES TO THE SUBORNING PERJURY WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF HIS FORMER CAMPAIGN LEE DEMO SKY AND SHERIFF JONATHAN HELD (who by the way was under investigation)

I subpoenaed the 2 witnesses to the crime of suborning perjury and one was the deputy in the

room who stopped the husband from coaching his son on how to answer questions under cross.

A few days before the next hearing he had Sheriff Jonathon Held’s office motion to quash my subpoena for the deputy.

JUDGE SMAIL REFUSED TO LET MY WITNESSES TESTIFY, As seen on the transcripts

The judge refused to let my other witness testify to her being the one who alerted the deputy of the suborning perjury

JUDGE SMAIL THEN charged me the $87,000.00. IN FINES

There have been many crimes committed and ignored in this case that has caused me to be homeless

, lost my perfect credit and nearly broke , while the Judge awarded my husband 5 million from the marital estate. They failed to resolve the marital debt and taxes that were due and left me nearly broke from the final order prepared by opposing counsel Linda Whalen while I was forced to be pro se.

Pennsylvania Judicial Conduct Board and the disciplinary board of Pennsylvania for attorneys should be abolished it’s proven that they protect the bad judges and the bad attorneys and ignore prima facie evidence

I had 4 attorneys that all seemed to be working for the other side. I reported them to the board with more than clear and convincing evidence of collusion, bribery, theft of my retirement income by deception, my transcripts were altered and my docket was tampered with, and many more crimes with documents to prove my complaint was credible .

I provided documents, emails orders, motions that all revealed the crimes. The board found nothing wrong. By them making decisions like that they are give the bad attorneys a second license to steal people money and ignore the rules.

DENIED DISCOVERY

There was no discovery done . They refused to provide documents explaining why the forensic accountant found ther wae 2.3 million in assets not accounted for in the January 2017 Masters hearing with Eric Bononi.

DENIED DISCOVERY FOR MY FORENSIC ACCOUNTANT

May 2017 Judge Smail denied my motion to make the husband and whalen provide financial documents to my forensic accountant to locate the missing 2.3 million in asssets

DENIED THE RIGHT TO APPEAL

I was even been denied my own retirement monthly annuity funds to appeal an unconscionable ORDER written by The opposing attorney Who actually held my monthly retirement income from me for five years without my consent and done to make me the dependent wife unable to defend herself during a high asset divorce.

All has been unconscionable, I have been denied my constitutional rights repeatedly .

We had Professional and official document for our marital estate of 5 million That was not included in the final order

The Bribed master Eric Bononi. was hired by the opposing attorney Linda Whalen. Followed her directions starting with no pretrial statements Were aloud per ERIC BONONI

SCARY NEWS FOR THE PEOPLE OF WESTMORELAND COUNTY ,PA

JUDGE SMAIL IS RUNNING FOR SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE WHERE HE WILL CAUSE MORE PEOPLE HARM.

More disappointing to learn afterwards and being totally financially destroyed and left homeless by this master Eric Bononi, Judge Harry Smail and attorney Linda Whalen

Although I filed a complaint against all of them with prima facie evidence to prove that they were committing crimes it’s so distressing now to learn that they have moved up the legal ladder.

AND THE BRIBED MASTER ERIC BONONI HAS BE NAMED THE PRESIDENT OF THE WESTMORELAND COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION

What has happened to me is not an isolated incident, fortunately for the people in our county family court cases this judge was removed from family court right after he destroyed me In December 2017 he was sent to civil court

Now the people Of Pennsylvania may be at risk for more harm because Judge Harry Smail is now running for Superior Court judge.

The PA Supreme Court Justices have discussed improving the need for judicial reform transparency, but have failed to act on it.

They have demonstrated that they abandoned the law, the PA Constitution, and they are

abusing their power and making arbitrary determinations to officially oppress which is why I urged for the

legislatures to enact a Fee Waiver law and schedule a new Constitutional Congress to make necessary changes

in Article V to limit the judicial powers, overreach, and lack of consequences for judicial violations of their Canons

and other laws.

Judicial immunity should be eliminated, judicial malpractice insurance should be required, and an objective/neutral

Inspector General should be implemented for oversight since the JCB has proven to present a conflict of interest

by dismissing 99% of the judicial complaints filed.

PA citizens can not rely on any judicial integrity or arbitrary compliance of “judicial Rules”.

Please prioritize legislating this matter and expedite a new Constitutional Congress.

Sincerely,

Deborah A Bujdos
