Call Home - Norman Rothman

Norman Rothman had run guns, sold explosives and organized paramilitaries among the counter revolutionaries. He was sentenced to five years in prison for gun running activities in Ohio but he posted a $50,000 bond while on appeal. According to a CIA memorandum, Rothman offered to make assets available to the U.S., quote, in return for the dropping of federal charges against him. The CIA handler present didn't think that this was going to go very far.
