I can’t imagine that DWS hired and ran cover for the Awans on her own initiative. They were supplied to her and she was directed as to their activities. DWS’s handler in all this was in the WH.
Good point. Either way, DWS is screwed. If her handler was in the WH, she's dead.
Absolutely. DWS was a high ranking stooge, just like Adolph Eichman in Nazi Germany, who was only a LT Col. And was a murderous, committed fanatic who could be used, and was used, as a cut out to protect equally guilty higher ups.
