{{Cquote|Our deal was for you to get 10% of the profits, not 10% of the gross...This has turned into a feeding frenzy by your good-ole-boy sharks and you've had a hand in it too, Mr. Clinton. Just ask your Mr. Nash to produce a business card. I'll bet it reads Arkansas Development and Finance Authority... This ADFA of yours is double-dipping. Our deal with ''you'' was to launder ''our'' money. You get 10% after costs and post-tax profits. No one agreed for ''you'' to start loaning out money to ''your'' friends through your ADFA so that they could buy machinery to build ''our'' guns. That wasn't the deal. Mr. Sawahata tells me that one of ADFA's first customers was some parking meter company that got several million dollars in ... how shall we say it. .. in preferred loans...Dammit, we bought a whole gun company, lock, stock and barrel and shipped the whole thing down here for you. And Mr. Reed even help set it up. You people go and screw us by setting up some subcontractors that weren't even authorized by us. ****, people who didn't even have security clearances. That's why we're pulling the operation out of Arkansas. It's become a liability for us. We don't need live liabilities.}}

The Clinton administration had been caught with its hand in the till. Barr was referring to the CIA's plans to relocate an existing arms manufacturing firm, Iver Johnson Arms of New Jersey, to Arkansas. What the agency hoped would be a secret operation to manufacture untraceable arms for the Contras became an open secret among Clinton cronies. These insiders, having learned what Iver Johnson was really doing, demanded a piece of the action and blackmailed their way into the covert operation. POM, the parking meter manufacturer, owned by [[Webster Hubbell]]'s father-in-law Seth Ward, leveraged its way into the underground arms-manufacturing loop by manufacturing parts of machine guns without serial numbers so they could not be traced back to the United States government. Hubbell was an attorney with the Rose Law Firm who followed the Clintons to Washington in 1992 and became Associate Attorney General in the [[US Justice Department]].
