Generally the "real work" is outsourced (briefed out), in house legal only manages the work. In house lawyers don't have the day to day experience of dedicated trial lawyers.
Any professional outsourced lawyer would be telling the client to shut up on talking about the case on a public forum and incriminating themselves.
The professional lawyer telling the client to do so doesn't mean the client will. See the case of SBF for the most in-your-face example.
Based on yesterday’s thread where Matt started answering questions about the lawsuit here on HN, I doubt losing half of the legal team would make any difference.
