Mab is cleaning up the White Court
morriswalters:
The question always comes down to why. Why make the White Court weaker if you are looking for strong allies? The attacks on the White Court almost certainly have to be about the Oblivion War. If no mortal remembers the Outsiders then no mortal can summon them, effectively locking them out of reality. This aligns with Mab's goals.
Conspiracy Theorist:
The likelihood was that Lord Raith was working with the Outsiders, and Lara and Thomas working against them in the Oblivion War. Control of the White Court therefore had a much wider impact.
morriswalters:
Given the way Butcher has constructed his Universe then in the end all Vampires would have to die assuming that they are immortal. Along with pretty much any entity that could show a mortal how to summon an Outsider or whatever the Oblivion War is trying to keep out.

We agree, although Papa Raith didn't strike me as a team player.

Why would Mab make the White Court weaker?
Think of it like a major surgery: it will "weaken" you in the short term, but generally allows for you to heal to a stronger state than before the surgery.

His children were acting against him in secret, and he probably told no one about the protection granted to him by The Outsiders, Lara probably suspected, making her ripe for approach, perhaps by one of the former Archives. All she would have to do is to be aware of the Archives role and to write “My father, Lord Raith is in contact with The Outsiders, Lara” and then destroy it. This would suggests Lara’s rebellion may have been brewing for some time.
Lord Raith may have been The Outsiders backstop, an immortal with the knowledge to summon them protected from harm by their power. Even if all other Outsider agents are eliminated then he survives, spreading the knowledge anew. That makes Raith the antithesis of the Archive.
