But don't worry, Egwene just coerced other Sisters to get their Oaths. Elaida expected to get it through the authority of her position, so it's completely immoral, unlike when it's obtained through coercion.
It's even better when she reproaches the Black Ajah Hunters for using them as well. Egwene's scale of morality regarding magically enforced slavery goes as follows:
Obedience to Egwene as Amyrlin Seat
------------------------------ Cross this line and it becomes immoral!
Purging the Black Ajah
Obedience to Elaida as Amyrlin Seat
It's also funny how she gives orders to the rebels inside the Tower and expects them to be obeyed because she is the Amyrlin Seat. If the position of Amyrlin Seat compels absolute obedience anyway, then the only real problems with this 'Fourth Oath' is its redundance and its ability to restrain traitors.

What crime? Accepting her unethical promotions? Being afraid of the Hall's injustice?

It does NOT violate Tower Law, as Myrelle herself said, and Siuan admits.

No she was right, and even her blackmail, as reprehensible as that was, was not an act of tyranny
