POTUS wouldn't have put supporters there in D.C. that day if he thought that would happen and have MAGA caught in the crosfire. Problematic.
Therefore, he knew Pence would do what he did ahead of time. (which if you read between the lines of that speech, yes, he likely knew) Which means either A. Pence is in on the plan, or B. Pence is a black hat, or C. Pence made a get out of jail deal with both sides. Accept the votes, but also deny the 25th.
Another theory. PA is the keystone. It is heavily PA National Guard in DC right now (along with others) PA, in that sense is vindicated in the end, or gets its justice. (Just not the way we thought, i.e. elector change) Ok, ravings of a tired man.
Occam's razor suggests "A. Pence is in on the plan"
I fail to reconcile the competing thoughts that A. There is a plan and B. Pence was left as a wildcard
If there's a plan. Then there is a plan.
