Can you be more specific? Why would the WMF need to legally support an admin.
Admins "enforce" policies and actions on the website, and are empowered to do so by the WMF (high ranking WMF people 'give' them the ability and buttons/position). If an admin gets sued by someone over some administrative action they took on behalf of WP/WMF, or gets caught up in litigation involving WP/WMF, would the WMF indemnify them/help out?
Or are all admins considered by the WMF legally separate from themselves, to maintain the claimed Sec. 230 immunity?
People are legally responsible for their own edits. I don't see how admin actions are any different.
