He's got her exactly where he wants her, which is beholden to his largesse. She gets out of line, he snaps his fingers and she's in a supermax. Plus he has way more control over her communications from a prison than if she's walking around. Plus the world at large takes words from people in prison less seriously, unless they're like MLK.

Conversely, what's the benefit to him to let her go free? Not even his cultists will be a fan of THAT move.

Help me understand what I'm missing, if I indeed am?
