“Capitol police originally said 800,000 then increased it to a million.”

Wow, that is great. The photos indicated only small and scattered groups. It would have been great to see a photo of them, all gathered in the Mall.
Unless they gathered in the mall area after I left, which I don’t think they were planning to do, there were no photos on the lawn. Most of the Mall grass area between the Washington Monument and Capitol Building was roped off as they’re growing the grass out again. Yes, I heard some reports about the riders on the beltway so that figure could be a million, but where I was it was closer to “thousands.”
Many just circled on the beltway Sort of we got them surrounded with an occarional strike from various angles. Just enough to keep Em nervous!
