In April of 1996 Secretary Ron Brown died in a tragic airplane crash while visiting the former Yugoslavia. Several important US businessmen died with him on that rugged mountainside in europe. The death of the Secretary came as a blow to the White House and to the criminal investigations of Ron Brown's Commerce Dept. It was well known that a Special Prosecutor was preparing heavy evidence of corruption. Mr. Brown's death stopped that part of investigation just before the 1996 election.
Yet, other parts of that investigation are now winding their way into the US courts. One such example is the recent guilty pleas from the Lums, involving the bribery of Secretary Brown and special deals for natural gas. Examples of prosecutions soon to come have been brought forth from Ms. Hill, Ron Brown's former girl-friend, who alleged that the Secretary had an off-shore bank account of one million dollars from Vietnam.
The blow to the White House was displayed by the President himself, who personally burst into tears at Ron's funeral. However, his forced display of mourning was caught on film. Clinton had just stepped out of his limo, laughing his guts out, when he noticed several cameras were focused on him. Perhaps, someone had told him something funny about Ron Brown?
However, adding to this mystery, another Commerce employee seems to have been involved in the fatal trip. Ira Sockowitz would collect a vast array of information on Bosnia and Croatia just days before the troubled Mr. Brown would leave for his trip. Fresh bios on all the right people, prepared by an array of professionals from every field of science. This information involved the people Mr. Brown was scheduled to meet in Bosnia and Croatia.
Later, in August of 1996, Ira Sockowitz quietly took these bios of the Bosnian and Croatian leaders out of the secured facility at the Commerce Department to his new job at the Small Business Administration. These secret documents would join a host of other classified material from the Department of State, NSA, CIA, Commerce, Russia, and France. All hidden in a personal safe just before the 1996 Presidential election.
