The real why: Trump had them very scared. Most people don't realize, that if the Jan 6 process had gone on with no capital breach, Trump would have won reelection. The swing states would have been challenged and go through a process that would end up with a vote on each state. But with this vote, each state only gets one vote. The Republicans controlled more states than the democrats. Trump would have won. The democrats knew how this was likely to go down. They had to have a riot and penetration into the capital to stop the process. Then in the dark of night they went forward without the challenges to the states. This was a key part of the Trump sting. The democrats used the FBI, FBI paid people, ANTIFA and even Ukrainian nazis to carry out the breach. Also some of the capital police were in on the deal. Not all though. Remember the left's comments that they were going to have to drag Trump out of the WH. Jan 6 was meant to finish the steal and not have to storm the WH if all went well. The bonus effort was to prevent Trump from running again.
