Answer:

No, because Linda did not intend for the Russian Foreign Intelligence Entity to see her email.

Step-by-step explanation:

The act of gathering secret information about a competing government to provide one's own nation military or political advantage. It may include the study of diplomatic paper, documents, data, broadcast, etc. It may involve spying, a covert operation conducted by an individual operating under secret identity to gather sensitive information on behalf of another agency or country. Because Linda has no intention to reveal the information, she should not be charged with espionage.
