But the laundry was shrinking. CIA knew Clinton and his people had not abided by Clinton's agreement with the agency. The emissary remonstrated sternly,

{{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 ... 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. 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.}}

The Clinton administration had been caught with its hand in the till. The emissary 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 and followed the Clintons to Washington in 1992, and became Associate Attorney General in the [[US Justice Department]].

This total lack of security and intelligence professionalism was why the CIA wanted to extricate itself from Arkansas. The final loose end that needed to be tied up was the investigation of Bill Clinton's half-brother, Roger and his friends.
