'Member Ron Brown?
The Botched Ron Brown Investigation https://archive.is/VwoOM
Former Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown died on April 3, 1996, in a plane crash near Dubrovnik, Croatia. Thirty- four persons accompanying Brown on the trade mission also died in the crash. Due to the efforts of Judicial Watch we now know beyond a reasonable doubt that seats on Brown's Commerce Department trade missions were sold to raise funds for the Democratic National Committee and the 1996 Clinton/Gore Campaign…
Even more serious than the sale of public property for campaign contributions is the likelihood that transfers of American technology, approved and overseen by Ron Brown's Commerce Department, breached national security. Bernard Schwartz, head of Loral Corporation and a major donor to the DNC, accompanied Brown on a 1994 trade mission to China. During this trade mission Brown set up a meeting between Schwartz and a Chinese government official. This meeting led to a transfer of American missile technology to the Chinese that is now the subject of a congressional investigation [2].
At the time of his death Ron Brown was under subpoena to produce documents relating to the sale of seats on trade missions to Judicial Watch for its suit against the Commerce Department. Nolanda Hill, a friend and business partner of Brown, testified under oath that Brown had shown her a collection of such documents in an ostrich skin portfolio. These documents were withheld from Judicial Watch in violation of the subpoena and a FOIA request. Just before his death Brown reportedly said of his mounting legal troubles, "I am too old to go to jail. If I go down, I'll take everyone else down with me" [3].
The suspicious circumstances surrounding the crash of Brown's plane have given rise to much speculation of foul play [4]. Making Brown's death even more suspicious is the fact that a perfectly round .45 inch inwardly beveling hole was discovered in the top of his head as his body was being processed by the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP). The story of the hole in Brown's head broke on November 24, with a report by Christopher Ruddy in the Pittsburgh Tribune- Review. Ruddy reported that Lt. Col. Steve Cogswell, a deputy medical examiner with AFIP, questioned the official finding that Brown died of multiple blunt- force trauma as a result of the airplane crash. Cogswell, who did not personally examine Brown's body, based his suspicions on x-rays and photographs of the top of Brown's head. Also suspicious, according to Cogswell, was the fact that the original x-rays of Brown's head showed possible metal fragments in the brain, consistent with a high-velocity gunshot wound. The two head x-rays are missing from Brown's file and Cogswell suspects they were never placed in the file [5].
On December 5, 1997, AFIP imposed a gag order on Cogswell… https://archive.is/wip/VwoOM http://buchal.com/library/coverups/ronbrown.htm
Ron Brown’s Death Still A Mystery https://archive.is/wip/8oAXE https://www.aim.org/media-monitor/ron-browns-death-still-a-mystery/
The China Connection: Summary of the Committee's Findings Relating to Efforts of the People's Republic of China to Influence U.S. Policies and Elections March, 1998
Committee staff identified several instances of foreign money donations connected to six individuals with ties to the PRC. As noted below, John Huang, Maria Hsia, Ted Sioeng, and James and Mochtar Riady each have been associated in some way with the Government of China. The sixth, Yah Lin ``Charlie''
Trie, is a business partner of Ng Lap Seng, a Macao businessman with alleged ties to the PRC. Trie, who recently was indicted and arrested, escorted Wang Jun, head of China's principal arms
trading company, Polytechnologies, to a February 6, 1996 coffee with President Clinton and a meeting the same day with Commerce Secretary Ron Brown. https://irp.fas.org/congress/1998_rpt/sgo-sir/2-18.htm
How did this malevolent – I call it traitorous – scheme work? According to The Washington Times reporter Bill Gertz, author of "The China Threat," Clinton received funding directly from known or suspected Chinese intelligence agents, among them the Riadys from Indonesia; John Huang; Charlie Trie; Ted Sioeng; Maria Hsia; Wang Jun and others. Commerce Secretary Ron Brown served as Clinton's front man, but when investigators began probing the Chinagate connections, Brown died suddenly in a suspicious April 1996 plane crash.
What followed were the arrests, conviction, fines, and also escapes to foreign countries of the above people. John Huang pleaded guilty in 1999, after which President Clinton rewarded him with an appointment to deputy assistant secretary for international economic affairs at the Commerce Department.
