There are bigger stakes in play to risk it on a vanity move by Pelosi, who only has a few (if that) productive years left.
The Deep State is thinking generationally.

I think of Deep State as a cabal of power centers, cooperating in some things, competing in others. The different factions win on some days, and lose on others. Like orcs, they are not above killing and eating each other. But when they smell hobbit blood (us), they drop their internecine battles and come to attempt to eat us.
pelosi represents, and is the central player, of one of these power centers. If she wants it, she may well get it.
