In tonite's news it seems the social media platforms and the radical [ I define radical as those who kill human babies] democrats are blaming it all on President Trump. That seems a bit unfair to me because I heard the speech he gave at 11:00am on the 6th and he did not suggest violence, nor did he tell them to storm the Capitol. He did say the walking protestors should not be weak. If that was a coded message, I missed it because I walkabout a lot and I thought he meant if you intend to walk [?? a mile or two to Capitol] don't be weak. But then I have only once in my life taken part in a physical protest and that was in Atlanta GA years ago at a March for Life, and I was carrying an oil painting I painted as my protest banner. And an opposing viewpoint person came over to me and said quote if you don't take that banner down, I'll break it over your head". And I immediately asked the Atlanta Police on horseback to inform the threat-maker that I have civil liberties also and if she attacked me with my painting [or any thing] she would be arrested, and that was the end of that. I do not participate in street marches since then because I value my life.
I wrote all of that to get to this. It is a civic duty as an American to help the FBI who has asked the public to help identify those who broke down the physical barriers of the U S Capitol, and broke into what had been secure offices, causing those members of Congress in the houses of Congress to have to be removed by Capitol Police to a secure place for five hours while the Capitol was under seige. It was the sort of nighmare scenario that most Americans never thought they would see in their lifetimes. It was obvious the Capitol Police were not sufficient alone to handle that mob. I am including here the pages I am asking all to read/ view and see if you can identify the people involved and what to do if so.

"The FBI is asking for the public’s help identifying individuals who were “actively instigating violence” in Washington, D.C., after a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol building on Wednesday. The bureau is accepting tips and digital media, including photos and videos, depicting the rioting and the violence to help find those who possibly violated federal law. “Our goal is to preserve the public’s constitutional right to protest by protecting everyone from violence and other criminal activity,” it said in a statement.
Four people died on Wednesday, including one woman who was shot by Capitol Police, ...Police also recovered two pipe bombs near the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee.

"The lawmakers continued that the people perpetrating the “violent insurrection of the Capitol” should be arrested and prosecuted.
“We must send a message to the world that this is not acceptable, and that America continues to stand for the rule of law,” they said."...
A woman was shot and killed during the insurrection, which interrupted Congress's certification of the Electoral College vote affirming President-elect Joe Biden's win. At least 52 arrests were made, the Metropolitan Police Department said."

The Ramifications of those events are that Democrats of the House Judiciary Committee want to impeach Pres Trump who has 13 days in office remaining.
"The 25th Amendment allows the vice-president to become acting president when a president is unable to continue his duties, if for example, he or she becomes incapacitated due to a physical or mental illness.
The part of the amendment being discussed is section four, which allows the vice-president and a majority of the cabinet to declare President Trump unable to perform his duties. ....
They would need to sign a letter to the speakers of the Houses of Representatives and the Senate declaring the president is unfit to govern or incapable "of discharging the powers and duties of his office". At this point, Vice-President Mike Pence would automatically take over.
The president is given the chance to offer a written response, and if he contests the finding, then it falls on Congress to decide. Any vote in the Senate and House of Representatives ordering the president's removal requires a two-thirds majority.
Until the issue is resolved, the vice-president would act as president."

Now, obviously what happened on 6th January was a planned event. I am wondering if the SolarWinds Orion hack that included 1500 business and US government agencies had anything to do with it? Did they get details of Congress via hack? Did they get contact info for participants via hack? Here is a quote about that:
US DoJ was hacked and court documents were accessed:
"Separately, the Administrative Office of U.S. Courts informed federal judicial bodies across the nation that the courts’ nationwide case management system was breached. That potentially gave the hackers access to sealed court documents, whose contents are highly sensitive.
The Justice Department said that on Dec. 24 it detected “previously unknown malicious activity” linked to the broader intrusions of federal agencies revealed earlier that month, according to a statement from spokesman Marc Raimondi.
Separately, the court office said on its website that “an apparent compromise” of the U.S. judiciary’s case management and electronic case file system was under investigation."....
The sealed court files, if indeed breached, could hold information about national security, trade secrets and wiretap transcripts, along with financial data from bankruptcy cases and the names of confidential informants in criminal cases, the official added."...The hacking campaign was extraordinary in scale, with the intruders stalking through government agencies including the Treasury and Commerce departments, defense contractors and telecommunications companies for months by the time the breach was discovered."
