because if she counter-sues, then the prosecution will take it to trial, where it will inevitably get tangled into whether or not the president can fire her for this type of shit. If the court rules in their favor, then that's great for the administration, but if it rules against them, then that would seriously fuck with their entire agenda. Considering the previous decision with Jerome Powell, it's likely to be the latter, and so it's in the administration's best interest to prevent any case law from being established and just hope a couple of justices kick the bucket and then try again later instead. Likewise, Cook won't fuck this shit up by counter-suing and potentially get a ruling made against her (however slim the chance of it would be), which essentially means this entire situation is destined to de-escalate rather than escalate. As usual, pic rel is the best bet.
