The electoral college count certification must be completed by midnight on the 6th unless specialized legislation is created to allow a change of date. This did not happen, due to the events at the Capitol delaying things by several hours. Because it was well into the 7th when Pence staged the completion of the process, anything 'official' which happened from that moment onward has been fiction. If he was in on it, the goal was to make it appear as if things were moving ahead as expected, so that everyone would believe nothing out of the ordinary would happen. From that point forward, there have been two distinct realities, as seen by each group: Trump believes the country has been shut down and transitioned to military control. Biden and friends believe everything has gone according to their plan. None of the actions he has taken will actually have consequences, as it is all a charade. The DOD/Pentagon still haven't been cooperating with the transition, so he is effectively blind to what's going on, whilst D.C. is still entirely locked down with even more troops yet assembling. Everyone seems to be ignoring the fact that Trump is the one who originally ordered these troops there in the first place; not Biden, as he didn't even have the authority to do so. Seems odd that they would still be continuing an operation that began with Trump, if it no longer serves any ongoing purpose.
