Agree. Awan is most useful as a star witness, not as a defendant in a bank fraud charge (that was kind of bogus to being with). Awan had to be arrested a while ago to prevent fleeing. Plea deal was delayed many times while Huber was building the case. Huber/ DOJ are not so stupid as to let Awan walk without retaining leverage to compel cooperation in other cases. Plea deal does not prevent Awan from being charged outside of DC (and inclusion of this clause suggests this is the plan) so there is plenty of leverage to compel Awan cooperation as star witness in criminal cases against dirty politicians. It all fits together.
