If they withdraw it or a judge throws it out, that essentially confirms that they have no case against her. Which would be damaging for them, and embolden others to speak out against them. The only way they can actually come out on top of this is to go through with the lawsuit (discovery and all) and win.
Unless, like everything else, they are bolstering so nobody goes after them right now until it dies down. Then, the DS will bury it so everybody will forget and nobody would go after them then.
This still doesn't stop the legal impetus placed upon the system. My biggest fear is the courts being corrupt within the jurisdiction of important, potentially landmark cases like these. That's both the worst outcome and more of the same.
