It does not really matter who masterminded and orchestrated the storming of the Capitol, nor who is trying to exploit the situation. Whether it was a special operation by the Democrats to suppress the resistance of the Republicans during the certification of the electors’ votes, or it was just a repercussion of the crowd effect and a commonplace stupidity, or it was indeed masterminded by the US President Donald Trump who was trying to put pressure on the Senate (which is the most likely) – all these versions are substantial, yet all of them are unimportant altogether.
