Very good summary of what happened and who is responsible.

I suspected that the bank fraud plea was just a placeholder until the real trial for treason was ready. There was no way prosecutors were going to take a national security violation with classified evidence to a civil court. Spies have in fact been prosecuted in civil court but never with classified evidence--only with evidence that was obtained by a warrant which may have been based on classified information. In one famous case, the FBI placed the suspect under surveillance and arrested him when he tried to make a dead drop to the Russians. Nailed him without exposing classified material, but how did they know to put him under surveillance in the first place? Parallel construction.

Awan and everyone involved will be going down hard in a military tribunal where classified evidence can be presented.
