Why?

Rich people stay rich because they don’t waste money.

She’s just as likely to cut Loomer loose as pay the lawyer fees. If she doesn’t cover the fees, that’s probably $100k Loomer has to cough up. That’d send messages to Mercer’s acolytes - be more competent or suffer the consequences. Remember that loyalty with these people always works in one direction.

It depends on the calculus. The Koch’s have spend a bunch of money on politics, believing they get a good return on it. Having Loomer around to destroy democracy might be something the Mercer’s are willing to pay for.
