The riot was part of the plan of the insurrection.
The Claremont Institute lays it all out in chilling detail, before the election day, even:
https://www.thebulwark.com/notes-on-an-authoritarian-conspiracy-inside-the-claremont-institutes-79-days-to-inauguration-report/
(emphasis added)
a report published in mid-October 2020 by the Claremont Institute and Texas Public Policy Foundations (TPPF) called 79 Days to Inauguration, prepared by Constitutional scholars, along with experts in election law, foreign affairs, law enforcement, and media . . . coordinated by a retired military officer experienced in running hundreds of wargames.
Among these luminaries were figures such as John Eastmanlawyer for Donald Trump and author of a memo advising Vice President Mike Pence to unilaterally block certification of Joe Bidens win in order to buy time for GOP-controlled state legislatures to send competing slates of electorsand K.T. McFarland, who served as deputy national security advisor under Michael Flynn in the Trump White House.
Other participants include Kevin Roberts, then-executive director of the Texas Public Policy Foundation (soon to be head of the Heritage Foundation), Jeff Giesea, a [Peter] Thiel protégé and secret funder of alt-right causes, and Charles Haywood, a fringe blogger who anxiously awaits an American Caesar, authoritarian reconstructor of our institutions.

Law enforcement plays an openly insurrectionist role throughout the 79 Days exercise, defying civilian leaders, refusing to offer them protection, and threatening them with arrest.
Practically, the report is an instruction manual for how Trump partisans at all levels of governmentaided by citizen posses of Proud Boys and Oath Keeperscould, quite literally, round up opposition activists, kill their leaders, and install Donald Trump for a second term in office.

If they haven't been held to account, then they haven't stopped the overthrow.

The idea that 1/6 was a protest that ran outof control has been dead for a long time.

It is a mistake to view this as either innocent or unrelated to the larger event.

Using burner phones for what would otherwise be legal is a strong indication of illegality. Get real
