It was necessary to stage an 'insurrection' so he could use the insurrection act. Plus, those that stormed the capitol were military patriots dressed as Antifa dressed as Trump MAGA supporters. Here:

"The raids are planned for this weekend and Monday. The military and the FBI are making them. Monday they will likely announce a temporary lockdown while they make arrests. This is going to happen quick. Trump doesn't have to do this by the 20th. He's already invoked the insurrection act. He can't be impeached now and Biden is no longer the president elect. Trump is the true winner and the military recognizes him as the commander. Trump has to get the declass and arrests going because the plan is to get this all done before the 18th. There will be a new election in March to cover all the Senate and House seats. The new VP will be Flynn. Pompeo will still be in power and a few others but Trump is gutting rid of his entire administration and hand picking a new one. Since we will only have maybe 10 members of the Senate and only 100 or so members of congressional left."
