I don't think Trump expected his own supporters to storm the Capitol after he and his own supporters had been condemning the BLM rioting just a few months earlier.

Does that include the supporters who were allowed in by the Capitol Police who opened the doors for them after which they PEACEFULLY walked thru the Capitol yet despite that fact got charged by the DOJ?

One person is charged with interfering with Lila Morris, the Cap popo beating Roseanne Boyland to death.

Those supporters didn't fight with police, break windows, or do anything they thought was illegal. The original violent group seemed to consist of only about 40 to 80 people. I've wondered if letting all of the others in - several hundred of them - was a setup to entrap them, increase the number of arrests, and prop-up the "insurrection" narrative, but I have no proof of that.

And then there are the unanswered questions about Ray Epps, the possible role of provocateurs linked to the government, and possible Antifa-BLM members posing as Trump supporters. A real investigation would delve into those questions, but this is a show trial that is not intended to get at the facts, but to conceal them.

A real investigation would also point out that if Trump allegedly knew some of his supporters were armed, then so did law enforcement, yet they had woefully inadequate security despite Trump's request for much more. When Ray Epps and his buddies breached the outer fence, there were only seven or eight police present, and they put up minimal resistance.
