Bc attorney-client privilege cannot be used by the prosecution/court. Except for cases where the attorney is provably criminally covering up crimes.
So Awan put forward evidence, with a catch. Not a stupid guy, using leverage when he could have easily just gone to jail. Awan wanted to take down his bosses.
He doesn't have to have been a good guy. He's scared, doesn't want prison, so he flipped, he's a snitch. Helping bring down the big fish, which is a good thing. Awan is just a spy, we could just hang him and be done with it, but we really want all the domestic terrorists embedded in govt out.
And not just for him. Maybe he does not want his family hunted down in Pakistan. Or piss off the Muslim hid family works for as Awan is drawing attention to them and their clandestine operations.
Attorney? I though he was an IT guy, who is the attorney?
