But it's clear there was a loose plan/understanding that this wasn't just a rally or protest. Some woman from the Dallas area who flew to DC on a private plane was posting on social media about storming the capitol before they left Dallas. I think the whole thing was a mix of serious insurrectionists, "regular" (non-violent) Trump supporters, carnival sideshow observers, and some form of CFB tailgate-like partiers.

Rudy is getting a pardon, so he has little to worry about.
