Truthfully, I knew something was up when it was revealed people had entered the building and two things WEREN'T happening:

  • They weren't frantically running around the building, eventually making their way to the tunnels, aimlessly milling around instead
  • The CPD weren't firing shots or engaging in combat immediately

That's just typical government bureaucracy for you. No one ever imagined this would happen, police get lazy and think a metal railing will stop a mass crowd.

Same reason terrorists were able to hijack two planes and fly them into skyscrapers. Classic government failure.

I guarantee if Pence or Harris wasn't able to escape, Secret Service would have mowed you all down without a thought.

Probably same with the congressmen. I think all of them managed to escape before most insurrectionists got close to the chambers, and a tactical retreat of the real guards with guns made the most sense.

I'm sure the tunnels were protected with heavy steel doors and shit, you were never getting in there.
