  One aspect of the January 6th insurrection seems to be more clear. Here's how I believe this aspect of the story goes. At the center of the insurrection, Trump offered full immunity and pardons to the people who would overwhelm and take control of the Capitol on January 6th. That agreement, to offer these pardons, was based on the belief that Trump had, i.e. that he would prevail and retain power, nullifying the election. Trump believed he would remain president. Word of this pardon was disseminated to the rioters vis a vis Trump's inner circle out to heads of groups like the Proud Boys and the rest. Jim Jordan was more than likely part of the in-between mediators offering the pardons. Jordan likely spoke with Trump and likely spoke with people close to the Proud Boys etc. This all seems to indicate that a good deal of inter-supremacist group networking was taking place with Trump offering deals and promises while his inner circle disseminated the plans. 

  There's plenty of outstanding questions. For example, when did this all begin? Did it begin immediately after the election was called for Biden, or did it occur earlier in 2020 or perhaps even earlier. Were these co-ordinations and networking occurring all throughout Trump's term perhaps. Recall Trump's good people on both sides comment. What is clear beyond all of this is that the January 6th Committee must complete its work in advance of Election Day 2022, when the TrumpOP wins back control of the House thanks to the tacit approval of an electorate that is no longer tethered to anything that resembles factual information and is fully un-informed with the latest conspiracy theories.
