Unofficially, Hubbell was the second victim of Whitewater, following [[White House]] counsel Bernard Nussbaum's forced resignation for questionable meetings with federal regulators looking into the Whitewater Development Corporation real-estate investments. Nussbaum had been responsible for removing Whitewater files and [[Vince Foster]]'s diary from Foster's office less than three hours after Foster's death from a gunshot wound. He was accompanied on that visit by Patsy Thomasson.

Foster's last weekend had been spent in the company of Webster Hubbell, his wife and another couple, White House counsel Michael Cardozo and his wife. Hubbell joined the group in [[Maryland]] after leaving the meeting that informed [[William Sessions]] of his dismissal as [[FBI]] director. After returning from a [[Hawaii]]an vacation, [[Bill Clinton]] spent that weekend in [[Arkansas]] dining with David Edwards, a former Stephens Inc. employee and conduit for $23 million from the king of [[Saudi Arabia]] for the Middle Eastern studies program at the [[University of Arkansas]].

The sloppiness, [[cronyism]], lack of security, and presumptiveness of Bill Clinton's Arkansas political machine jeapordized the [[Iran-Contra]] operation.
