On January 6th, Donald Trump was an hour late giving his speech. From there to the Capitol is around a 20 minute walk. By the time people that came for the speech got to the Capitol, all the barricades were already down and they were shooting tear gas. It is pretty obvious the feds and their plants jumped the gun because of Trumps delayed speech.

Yes. This is the key. Nancy Pelosie changed the House rules which allowed her to declare a national emergency which prevented the objections by Republicans and allowed the count to go forward. Because there was never a legal objection, Trump couldn't claim "standing" in court cases. This was researched and delineated by a researcher at the conservative treehouse. These snarly little legislative and legal details control the actions going forward.
It must be done by the law (DJT) and the law is pure picayune detail. Thomas More to son, Roper: "And you would flatten all laws to get to the devil? This country is planted thick with laws. Man's laws, not God's. And what would you do when the devil turned round on you, the laws all being flat? How would you stand in the wind that blew then?"
