From this drop it's implied they had no intention of taking out that trash using a compromised legal system.

I think the legal system is a red herring and a golden bridge to retreat. The DS won't or can't trigger the bomb because they still believe they can maneuver retreat survive and continue fighting. There is no place on the battlefield they are more over confident in than lawfare. The American people being manipulated into self-destructive action are the bomb. We are also the hostage. The narratives are the triggers. The Great Awakening is the diffusion of the bomb. It takes time and caution. The courtroom stage is annoying to us and the average normie gives no shits about any of that. I would wager the WHs were not counting on a compromised system of lawfare to win.

Speculative.
