Protestors began conflicts with the police at the Capitol a full hour BEFORE Trump finished his speech at 1:15.
NPR even says the protestors penetrated the barriers at the Capitol 15 minutes before Trump finished his speech.
Trumps speech was at a spot 1.2 miles from the Capitol which means if people walked to the Capitol from there, they would have arrived anywhere from 1:35 to around 1:50.
So the people that were going to cause problems were already at the Capitol.
I point this out because many people have tried to claim Trump's speech incited the violence at the Capitol. But that is clearly impossible based on the timeline of events.
