that her "cooperation" with the investigation depends on whether she receives political asylum and that she's entered to the Witness Protection Program. She's got to have some blockbuster information to warrant the government giving her that assurance, though. I think she knows that if she's returned to Russia she's a dead woman, whether she talked, or not. Putin isn't known for his generosity and kindness when handling compromised spies. She's going to have to come up with some earth shattering intelligence, foreign or domestic, to earn a new life somewhere in the United States. Chances are they'd find her in any event with her think Russian accent.
