Here is my theory as to the events of January 6. Trump supporters have planned to stage a rally in the nation’s capital expected to draw 10s of thousands on the day that Electoral votes are to be counted/challenged in Congress.
In addition there is widespread fear that there will be far more Trump supporters than Biden fans at Biden’s inauguration. This would, of course humiliate the new President. How to stop this from happening?
Have agents provocateurs “storm” the Capitol followed by some Trump supporters caught up in the moment carefully staying between the rope lines. Trash a few offices, break a few windows etc. They are cleared out fairly quickly. This accomplishes three things.
The vote challenges are quickly dropped, remember that originally there were to be challenges to each of the swing states, but only one occurred after the ‘riot’.
Trump is instantly impeached in the House for attempting ‘insurrection’ with 10 republicans going along with the idea that a President can lead an insurrection against a government he leads. If he’s convicted by the Senate, he can be barred from running for any Federal office, thus permanently killing the Trump threat to the swamp.
Although the Wuhan virus was going to be the excuse for small crowds for the immensely popular Biden’s inauguration, now 10 of thousands of troops can be brought in the the capital because of the “real threat of insurrection”. No embarrassing moment when large crowds boo Biden as he takes the oath.
That’s what happened.
And is ongoing with the insurrection theater.
