In a sense deals have been made. Time has been granted to the guilty while the entire picture gets painted, over these years. There has been Epstein and Ghislaine arrested (confirm future direction) but little else. I see this as a type of deal for the larger cohort of DS, but eventually time runs out and there is a reckoning, they must know this. The deal is freedom live a while longer, to carry on with their plans openly and faster than intended. To show people.

The military is the only way is used only once Trump is re-elected and the DS is fully rejected, and military is used to take over all the roles of government while it is rehired from new stock, rebuilt. The people with deals self-suicide (now their reprieve period deal has run it's course) or face the arrests (for those few who dare to face the ignominy). Military only after defacto victory has already happened.

That would be the lowest casualty plan too.
