Sometimes I think the plan was to have Pence stand up on the sixth and call for a recount but something went wrong the last minute. Because Trump looked sad that day.
Sometimes I think the plan is what we are seeing now. Or is this plan b what we are seeing now.
In my opinion, when Pence said in that recent interview that there wasn't a plan, he was doing 'honest' dissimulation. He didn't say that no efforts were being made. I'm sure there are parallel efforts going on, as any good strategist recognises you need. You don't want people to know you have a 'plan' if you don't know for definite that it will be achieved.
I definitely think something else was planned for Jan 6th, after all Trump was making a point of telling the crowd he was going to walk to the Capitol with them, before he disappeared. I believe he genuinely meant he'd had that intention, even if he knew at that point that he wouldn't be able to fulfil it, and I would think that confirmation it would be too dangerous would only have come after a point too late to turn round and tell people they shouldn't come to DC. There's several untied strands about that day still; Eric's birthday, the one hour delay, the red folder.
Piglosi knew exactly what was going to happen and when, I was watching the certification live and she literally disappeared from the chamber in the blink of an eye before anyone else had any clue what was going on. One senator turned around to address the chamber momentarily, then when he turned back he said 'Madam Speaker' before doing a double-take and saying 'Mister Speaker' instead.
