That it is non-binding and only relates to the bank fraud makes me think co-operating witness. They gave the carrot of the plea on bank fraud still have the stick of other charges on everything else.
The terms of the deal, however, stipulate that it does “not bind the Civil Division of this Office or any other United States Attorney’s Office, nor does it bind any other state, local, or federal prosecutor.”
“It also does not bar or compromise any civil, tax, or administrative claim pending or that may be made against your client,” it states.
This means that other U.S. attorney’s offices or prosecutors could still file charges against Awan if evidence of wrongdoing is found.
In reaching the plea deal with Awan, prosecutors contradicted evidence found by House investigators that Awan and his associates made unauthorized and suspicious logins to congressional IT systems.
The Awan case is almost too much to bear if there are not a lot of answers & action.
Widespread embezzlement by Dem House members, the Dem Caucus server missing -- just blatant crime everywhere.
