This was reported early on until they went crazy. "IQ 45 extended the route."
This could have been a distortion of what happened to inspire the insurrectionists to go the extra blocks: IOW tell the media the false news that the insurrectionists now had IQ 45's permission to go to the Capital. Media backs away from its role.

And while I searched for the FOIA permit for the rioters I have yet to find it:

I just remember hearing that on the "news" and thinking nothing but trouble is coming.
