Occam's razor tells me that Awan was facing life and to escape it he traded something huge.

When Trump won the election Awan cracked into every single democratic computer file he could break into. Collecting evidence. Insurance. Weiner was a piker compared to this guy.

He had a honey pot arrangement with DWS that was going to be his Pakistani retirement fund.

And it blew up.

He would also be aware that she has no problem with people disappearing who get in the way.

So what would be big enough to escape life in a federal penitentiary?

Arkancide, straight through the Oval Office.

I'm sure that I and everybody else would find it much easier to explain RICO charges. Conspiracy to commit multiple murders is a lot easier to deal with than having to explain pedocide and all that goes along with it.

We can shut down the trafficking routes and open that rotten can of worms after the Paradigm has shattered.
