I don't have the links but recall her pretty directly stating what she is about a while back: essentially that she is on some sort of DoD panel tasked with assisting & tracking the awakening.

I've watched interviews with her and she's very humble about where she's at and that she has a lot to learn as well. She plays a sort of "recently awakened" role.

And it's Jan Halper-Hayes.

Oh and specifically I don't think she's a distraction. As she's said explicitly: she's measuring and tracking things. She's probably measuring what info is being absorbed and what info we still have mental reservations about or are slow to process.
