All he needs is an indictment now; your question is a separate issue re trial.
Russert agreed to answer a limited set of questions. So could she. If there's a trial, Russert might have to evaluate what to do at that point. So might she. She could reargue the same point--that she can't reveal her source.
All I'm saying, and it's too late now, is that she might ahve been able to avoid jail if her lawyer did some better negotiating. Of course, maybe negotations weren't possible.
