There is 1 vid I saw as it was happening but looks like its been scrubbed. When protestors entered single file, calm, on red carpet between the velvet ropes. Cops were standing by, 3 of them, and people were waving at them, they waved back, some shook hands. Cops point into direction to go. Everyone smiling. Not even crowding.
I distinctly remember this because I was on the phone describing what I'm seeing to someone in Alexandria.
Then there was an overhead view of huge crowd of people coming from the back, side street and pushing their way in. My friend on the phone said they must be plants because its a good 45 min walk from WH to Capitol and streets were blocked off since the day before. This is when I saw the unmarked white buses parked in front of Capitol. Still nobody will say whose buses they were.
Also remember Trump's speech was exactly 1 hour later than scheduled as if he was keeping his supporters safe apart from the crowd already at the capitol.

I remember this. Invited and welcomed.
Could have kept them even safer by not saying "Be there, will be wild!" but these are minor details
