Well, that's one way to look at it. The other is that NSA's internal security is so botched that a fresh-out-of-school 3 months on the job external contractor managed to outfox the NSA's security measures. What she did should not have been possible in the first place.
Or that she was a convenient, not long-term career person, to make a cool deal to appear as somebody leaking the document against NSA's will.
Not a chance. She will spend a long time in jail if convicted and during the court case such stuff will surely come out if her defense is any good. (Assuming you are aware that she admitted to being the leaker.)
Does she have any close family with health issues that will now get magically taken care of? Sometimes taking a jail sentence is part of the deal.
