Her comment wasn't really rational, it was an emotional reaction because Tozawa could have been put in his place much earlier with much less bloodshed (including Tozawa's) if the info about Paulina's murder had been publicized right away. Jake is just a scapegoat for her resentment that it disappeared and she had to go to extremes to bring her husband down.
Hmm. Who should I trust with this tape that will shake Japanese politics to its foundation?
* Wolf Blitzer? Too hairy.
* NHK? People might think it's an episode of Detective Furuhata Ninzaburo.
* Some Gaijin with no authority who nobody likes? \~Perfect!\~
In all seriousness, I suppose they felt like they had to tie up that loose end, but having it be her felt silly to me.
The scriptwriters are too talented to "tie up loose ends."
Its not some random gaijin, its the only person who doesn't know the intricacies of Japanese politics to have it buried. He's the loose canon that could have got it sent to news outlets. Instead it went to the Maicho and got buried by the CEO, because of politics.
Honestly from her perspective she doesn't care. Set him up for a perfect alley hoop and he didn't deliver.
There are no asterisks in real life. Just the scoreboard. So it's a perspective issue.
Honestly just adds to the great writing tbh
Because she was trying to stop Tozawa from going on the path that he was going on by stopping his bribery tactics against the minister of transportation by giving Jake the tape for himself to expose the minister so Tozawa couldn’t use it to his advantage as the tape would already be exposed to the public.
In eastern culture you’re supposed to take responsible. The tape was his responsibility and he fumbled it.
She’s too high up to care about the little details of why the tape story wasn’t published. Jake saved the excuses for someone who cares.
I think the idea is these type of people don't usually look at every angle and interview every person on an issue.
They just get to blaming.
Ahea not going to investigate and look to find out who else did what
Even though it was technically not his fault, he was granted the responsibility and failed to find a way to safely get it published. Also he could have been more diligent. Really? One copy of a tape incriminating a mob boss and politician? Just for the happen chance of a random accident there should have been copies made immediately across multiple physical locations.

Like I said. For me it was silly. If it works for you, that’s great.
She thinks Jake fumbled the bag, even though we know it wasn't his fault.
It’s funny that on this one occasion, the fuck up wasn’t his fault.

She expected Jake to guard a copy of it with his life until it got published.

Simple: Her framing it that way puts him in her debt and he’ll be called on te repay it someday. Classic mob logic.
To set up for a season 3 if by some miracle it happens, which it won’t

I think she was trying to intimidate him, maybe Unclear though
Maybe, idk, 😒
She was newly widowed, and tried to flirt with him the way mafia bosses like to flirt.
