Seems so simple to me, Pelosi from before Trump was even officially elected President was talking about impeaching him. She was still talking about impeaching him even after he was no longer President, and may actually still be talking about impeaching him for all I know.

For it to be an armed riot, do not the rioters need to have guns, The only gunshot I heard about during that day was when one of the capitol police shot and killed an unarmed young woman. True I do not follow the news closely, so there could have been hundreds or thousands of gun shots and multiple gunshot victims.
