According to one of the guests on Newsmax on Monday evening [January 11, 2021], there is no way that the rioters who broke into the Capitol building were people from Trump’s rally. Here’s the timeline.
1. At 12:40 pm, the first protestors arrive at the Capitol building.
2. At 1:00 pm, the Capitol Police Dept Chief sees officers attacked.
3. At 1:09 pm, the Capitol Police Dept Chief requests the national Guard.
4. At 1:11 pm, Trump concludes his speech.
5. It would then take a person approximately 30 to 35 minutes to walk to the Capitol building from the rally site. However, with that size crowd, it would have slowed them down to about 40 to 45 minutes to get there, which would get them to the capital building at approximately 1:56 pm for the first wave of supporters.
So with that timeline, the people who were at the rally were not among the first protesters to arrive at 12:40 PM or even be there at the time that the National Guard was requested. Trump hadn’t even finished his speech at that time by two minutes. So not only did Trump not incite the riot, his people were not those who broke in and started the riot.
