If Uber fires him, they run the risk of him throwing them under the bus, in exchange for legal leniency.

That's a problem with criminal conspiracies - you either have to stand by your partners, or hold a threat worse then jail time over their heads. Easy for a mob boss, less easy for a unicorn.

That's true. But at the same time, it seems to me, Uber lawyers are arguing that Uber is not responsible for Lewandowski's defence strategy even when that hurts Uber. If an employee works against his company, he is usually fired. Uber his looking bad either way here.
