Vad jag förstår så kom gardet när allt var över, svårt att beskylla Trump för att ha blod på sina händer isåfall.
Vem löste situationen och varför gjordes inte detta tidigare?
Det var väl ett flertal andra styrkor som till slut anslöt sig till Capitol Police. Jag antar att det var så de fick kontroll på läget.

"We watched in horror," the official said. "As much as we wanted to be there, we couldn't send anyone in without the specific request of the Capitol Police. This is their area first."
In the hours after the breach, agents from the Federal Protective Service, Customs and Border Protection, the Bureau of Prisons, the FBI and Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms — some heavily armed, in tactical gear — were called in to assist Capitol Police and D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department.
From DHS, some Secret Service agents were deployed, but agents from Customs and Border Protection, who responded to protests in D.C. this summer, were not called upon until much later.
A senior law enforcement official said that the DOJ offered federal law enforcement help to the Capitol Police on Wednesday as the situation deteriorated, but said the Capitol force was slow to accept the offer.
"That was a strategic blunder and it put a lot of lives in danger," he said. "We're going to dig deep and find out exactly what happened."
He added that there was an "intelligence failure" to anticipate the scope of the threat.

Said Ryan, "The big question is with regard to backup and manpower and why wasn't that ready with a phone call being placed, hey we need more, and more show up. …When you get assurances that things are supposed to go a certain way and they don't, that is very frustrating."
Ryan also wondered whether the Capitol Police were instructed to avoid confrontation.
