You're reading a whole lot into this single sentence in the article:

> Some lawyers in the department worry that Mr. Barr’s determination to bring a complaint this month could weaken their case and ultimately strengthen Google’s hand, according to interviews with 15 lawyers who worked on the case or were briefed on the department’s strategy.

15 lawyers expressed concern ... just because it's contained in a single sentence doesn't mean he's reading a lot into it. It's an important sentence.

It says "some" lawyers expressed concern, according to interviews with 15 of them. Nothing about that sentence alleges that all 15 they spoke with expressed concern. Some could be 2 or 3 and all 15 were aware of the concern.
