In this daily series, Newsweek explores the steps that led to the January 6 Capitol Riot.
On December 23, pro-Trump organizer Cindy Chafian sent a follow-up email about the planned January 6 event, saying that 15,000 participants were expected.
"All available evidence," the U.S. Park Police wrote in an internal report the same day, "indicates that we should expect an event similar to those that occurred on 14 November 2020 and 12 December 2020." The Park Police highlighted that "opposition groups ... plan[ed] to counter-protest ... as they have in the past."
"A higher number that expected people [sic] have already made concerted plans to travel to the District of Columbia for the event," the Park Police said.
"The protests/rallies [are] expected to be similar to the previous Million MAGA March rallies in November and December 2020," the U.S. Capitol Police agreed in their December 23 "Special Assessment" (21-A-0468 V.2).
The Secret Service added: "There are approximately fifty nine (59) groups identified as potentially participating in First Amendment activities on January 6, 2021 at or around the White House Complex (WHC) ... Expected attendance is around 20,000 participants."
Six times as many protestors—as many as 120,000—would show up on the Mall on January 6, according to classified numbers still not released by the Secret Service and the FBI but seen by Newsweek. But there is still not an official estimate, nor have any of the Congressional committees or task forces offered a number. Nor is there a clear number of how many people actually entered the Capitol, or tried to get in.

Civics 101
The day began with about 100,000 Americans lawfully exercising their right to assemble and for free speech.
Things went all to **** later, they surely did.

At least 1,000 people so far have been arrested on charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, the Department of Justice said.
More than half of those defendants have pleaded guilty to crimes, the DOJ said.
The update comes as the department is investigating former President Donald Trump for his conduct leading up to and on the day of the riot by hundreds of his supporters.
The siege disrupted a joint session of Congress that later confirmed the election of Joe Biden as president.

Let’s say, the small number of rioters, only a tiny fraction of the crowd, had stayed peaceful.
Put 120,000 angry Americans in one small area and they’ll have to piss, and ****, and some damned fool will start a fight with another fool, and they’ll toss trash all over the streets. That’s all technically illegal, but we don’t read of any arrests for public indecency or littering or peace disturbance.
Let’s say only one thousand of the worst of the worst of the mob, which might have only been five thousand MAGAS out of 120,000 MAGAS, assaulted police officers or breached the doors.
This was a White Lives Matter protest gone bad.
And they had enough good sense to not have any guns or there’d be several thousand pushing up daises.
Next time, the Capitol Police won’t sit there and watch them coming like the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
