Her lawyer knew this and had her do it this way. That way she gets to have it both ways. No lawyer working in DC would have her do that unless that’s EXACTLY what he wanted. or she went rogue, and if that’s the case, the lawyer will say so. just sayin’....

I was wondering about that. What do they have to gain if this was intentional?

[Truth is a Weapon]

I don’t know whether it was intentional or not. But there is a wild possibility that she did not commit any crimes but knows who did. There is a common desire to not be a “rat” or disloyal. Now she can be compelled to testify. But she can say “they tricked me and I couldn’t protect you.”

It will be hard for her to say she didn’t testify when all the networks broadcasted it for all the world to see.

Maybe now that she is forced to testify she can bargain for immunity and a new identity.

She gains the ability to claim, i took the 5th (which the WH probably told her to do) and also get to testify so it all doesn't fall on her head by saying..."oops, they got me on a technicality and forced me to testify."
