I believe the much-ballyhooed, “Awan broz = Wikileakers”-angle is an attempt to steer investigators off of the 1st DEGREE MURDER ANGLE (of Seth Rich).
That’s a real possibility. When you take the entirety of Wasserman’s behavior toward Awan into account, blackmail is really the only explanation. Given how corrupt these people are, few acts short of murder would actually scare them. If enough pressure is applied to Awan, the house of cards will finally fall.
