‘Sequestered in an out-of-state "safe house".’ She's a backwoods county clerk who illegally copied data from elections machines, and shared that data, along with passwords for the machines, with far-right disinformation outlets with the intention of advancing the bogus claims of election fraud. As such, the FBI would like to speak with her. That's not a situation that calls for fleeing the state to hide out in a safe house provided by a delusional pillow magnate.

AND Unexplainable flight can be admissible evidence of conscious awareness of guilt, as are many other ‘process crimes’ (quotes for emphasis not minimization, throwing sand in the ref’s eyes is a stand-alone offense, i.e., Manafort, Stone, Nixon) like destroying evidence, suborning perjury, witness tampering, jury tampering. The cover-up can be worse than the crime. Just another form of cheating. Rotten fuckers.

AND No privilege for any communications between these brainless twits, and hiding witnesses, much less possible felons, runs afoul of many statutes, Federal and state. Are others involved? Then you have a conspiracy to violate these laws. And ignorance (no matter how fucking stupid the perpetrator may be) is no defense.

Oh yeah, crossing state lines in the course of carrying out a crime, or furthering a conspiracy? Add another count to the indictment.

Obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting a fugitive. He could also face charges of conspiracy after the fact.

Assuming of course there is a warrant out for her arrest. But it's not a smart move even if she is wanted for questioning.

The FBI tends to take note of that kind of thing.
