if they can connect her and the others to assange and manning through twitter and finances it would probably strengthen any conspiracy charge. while a conspiracy can be acted out by two people, it's a lot easier to prove and believe if three or more are involved.
that said i'm not sure they want her. in fact i'd say they don't want her as such. they just want to say assange colluded with her and the others including manning. with out they have a much stronger case. (if she refuses to stand trial) i doubt they'll try extradition in case it backfires and she turns out to be a good witness for the defence. if she isn't there because she chose not to be it would make most jurors believe she was a guilty party which by itself would imply assange was guilty
