If you watch the video at the top of this article you get a good sense of the scene. I recommend it. Also turn the sound on and imagine what it must of been like to be there.
https://www.itv.com/news/2021-01-06/donald-trump-fires-up-protesters-in-washington-as-congress-prepare-to-confirm-biden-victory
This article includes a lot of other shorter videos embedded in tweets.

Now some comments:
1) It was a riot not a protest. That much is clear by any objective standard.
2) You can see in the first video that many of the "protestors" were carrying cell phones. It shouldn't be much of a problem to use cell phone tracking data to figure out who these people are. If the police attempt to say they don't know who they are, that is because they are not trying to identify them.
3) The capital building is one of the most intensively surveilled buildings on earth. Video cameras are every where. With the other videos from the press it is again simply not credible to maintain that you cannot id a large number of participants. Once you ID 20% it should be no problem to track known associates and probably turn a few with plea bargins.
4) The performance of the capital police is severely substandard. How could they not have foreseen at least a 20% probability that this would happen. They need a major house cleaning starting at a leadership level.
5) Given the numbers it is not credible to claim most are "antifa". But since it should be no problem to ID the participants additional conclusive evidence should become available in a few weeks.
But watch the videos and form your own conclusions.
