We know the oath keepers were staging weapons in and around DC. Who, what, were they waiting for? Why didn't they attack once they saw the capital being breeched? Are we supposed to believe they staged all those weapons just in case , hoping, Trump asked for their help. That's hard to believe.

There must have been a plan in place and they were waiting for someone to give the final go ahead. We just learned the leader of the oath keepers called someone close to Trump, asking to talk to Trump.
