I can tell you some of these cause I was at Trumps speech. Nothing crazy here... Trumps speech ended, he said were all going to walk down to the Capitol, so that’s exactly what we did. By the time I got to the Capitol the breach inside was mostly over, police were happily chatting with folks outside the capitol and My perception is that it was just wide open. Nobody seemed concerned about getting people off the Capitol grounds until about ~5:15 or 5:30 when they had enough reinforcements to do so. But folks were almost completely out of the Capitol by the time the Trump speech crowd got there, so idk what second group you’re talking about.
