Who were the highest ranking blacks in bill clinton's administration?

Answer 1

Ron Brown. And he just happened to die on a plane when he was due to be indicted for alot of things that could be tied to Clinton.

Because there is evidence that suggests Ron Brown was assassinated, the first question that a reasonable and prudent person would ask is, "who would have a motive to do this?" We may begin by examining the controversy surrounding Brown at the time of his death. Ron Brown, a highly connected attorney and member of the Washington elite, was chairman of the Democratic National Committee during Clinton's first run for the presidency. He was involved in fund raising. His expensive tastes allegedly led him to accept a bribe from Vietnam to normalize trade relations. He was under investigation by the Commerce Department Inspector General, the FDIC, the Justice Department, the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, and the Senate Judiciary Committee. He was two weeks away from being indicted over a bribe he received from an Oklahoma corporation. Brown is reported to have said, "I am too old to go to jail. If I go down, I'll take everyone else down with me." Evidently, he thought he knew enough to influence those in power to save him, but that was an apparent miscalculation. (21)

The April '96 issued ofThe American Spectator featured an article entitled, "Why Ron Brown Won't Go Down" -- referring to his legal troubles. Shortly after that issue was released, Brown did go down -- with his aircraft and everyone else on board. Six hours later, the independent council investigating Brown's shady business deals and fund-raising practices quietly closed his investigation. (22)
