And about 50,000 to 100,000 DID visit and only a very small percentage of those rioted, and within 45 mins. (and then again, at about 1 hour later) Trump called for all those who were rioting to STOP doing what they were doing and OBEY THE LAW and go home. It was by tweet and a video, both of which were blocked by various internet (Twitter, Google) entities so that very few saw it. In fact, there's video of the "Shaman" getting a megaphone and shouting out to the crowd that "Trump has told us to stop doing this and go home. We need to listen to him". Trump, on his own, could not call in the National Guard from DC or another nearby state. He DID offer the National Guard and DC mayor said no and Nancy Pelosi told the Sergant of Arms of Congress (who got the offer for National Guards) "NO" to the National Guard. Nancy also had the Capitol at COVID lock-down numbers, meaning that the numbers of security guards/capitol police there at the start of the protesting was the same number as those there DURING LOCK DOWN (I think later on, more showed up). Why is that, when she was briefed on the probability of rioting and strife?
