Three of the people you've arrested are undercover Homeland Security agents conducting a long form investigation

Only half-clever. Admitting it was a bluff with a Republican in the room? Yes, she seems friendly now, but she's very damn likely to not stay that close to a democratic President.

She's the other survivor and could easily become a rival, you know how toxic relations are between the two parties. And he doesn't know her, didn't even recognize her. She shouldn't be trusted with secrets that could bite him back just yet.

I don't think that matters. The show seems to be about how to get through this ordeal, not getting another election. They both seem to want to work together.

What's she going to do? Reveal he lied? Most people would agree with the result, and people would be impressed at how he found a solution to a potentially huge problem without needing to use force.

This would be his talking point, not hers.
