1. It's totally self-interest
If she did testify, she would find her career ruined--even more than it already will be.

2. One has to wonder if she's protecting someone...
Not as in "I'm keeping my promise" but as personally protecting someone, as "I'm helping this person hide from trouble"

3. It's a panty-shield law ... no pillow-talk disclosure.

4. She won't testify because she would invoke the 5th amendment
She's protecting herself because she is the leaker
