This was really an idiotic event. I don’t know that Trump had any sway over events considering he said, “peacefully protest.” The media calling it a deadly event colors perception that the protesters inside the Capitol killed. They want that
Was Trump right to grasp at straws to maintain power? NO but he was right to point out any problems uncovered in the election process. He can’t look past his own ego and realize his loss falls on him as much as any Left manipulation and fraud

You are part of the problem.
Although there are some Democrats who would like to see Trump actually in prison, most would be satisfied with simply convicting him of a “crime” that will disqualify him from being president again in 2024. That would be sufficient to diminish the danger he poses to the Establishment.
Failing that, sensationalizing anything remotely controversial found by the “investigators” may assist in “dirtying up” the Republican brand sufficiently to stave off total election disaster in 2022. (Of course, anything even remotely sensational (whether or not germane to the actual inquiry) will be immediately leaked to the uncritical-and-only-too-glad-to-cooperate press.) Clinging onto control of at least the House will serve to keep the possibility of implementing some form of the Administration’s progressive/left agenda alive.
It will also protect the President and other Executive Branch officials from the distracting but still (at present) largely theoretical threat of removal through impeachment.
However…
