Unfortunately Congressman Bono got wrapped around a tree while skiing and died not too long afterward.

Arkancide?
No.
Bad skiier.
If I had to guess, I'd guess that. The info two staffers dug up in a morning made Reno and her 'advisers' look like they had committed premeditated mass murder, which is my take on the situation, anyway.
Had angle that been pursued, the feces could really have hit the fan.
As it played out, no Fed got a 'spanking' over it.
The whole thing upset enough people that it manufactured ready-made 'justification' for the existence of anti-Clinton 'radical religious angry white right winged terrorists' that everything was pretty much blamed on for the duration of the regime.
There was a Kennedy who met a similar fate not too long after that, but I really hadn't heard of any before or since. Without more details, though, (additional ski tracks, protruding pointy broken branch or not?) I can't say for certain.
