Former President gave it to them freely.
Another thing
Have just seen CNN and understand there's a manhunt for the person who had planted some bomb-device outside Capitol.
Would this indicate it was planned ?

Law enforcement knew that the violence on the 6th was planned days in advance. The reason rioters were able to get into the building was due to a combination of incompetence and rice-bowl territorialness.
DC Metro PD didn't want the national guard. Capitol PD didn't want the national guard.
We have confirmation that Trump told his secretary of defense that there should be 10,000 troops in town on the 6th because of the predicted crowd size - not even the possibility of violence, but crowd size.
Some estimates put the crowd at 100,000+. We don't know for certain because the media didn't actually show the crowd size for fear of showing how many people were there and apparently felt that the election was stolen by the Democrats i.e. - minimal to non-existent.
There are rumors that the Dems kept the fences and guardsmen there for the inauguration - not because of the potential for more violence - but because they were terrified that it would be revealed that the quantity of people showing up would be more on par with the quantity of people who showed up to Biden's rallies during the campaign.
Really what it boils down to is we currently have an unpopular president in office who will do nothing that he isn't directed to by his handlers (and they want it that way because that's the way its been for decades until Trump came along). That president has no actual voter support, no answers and no plan and is being propped up by a media that was angry for the past four years that Hillary wasn't president. We'll continue to see a media that covers for the current administration. As a result, we'll continue to see a resistance by many many citizens - some will be violent, some will be whistleblowers, some will passively-aggressively resist - this form of warrior populism isn't going away even if Trump can't run for office again - and its entirely the fault of elected officials and the media that we have a government this way instead of educated thoughtful statesmen and women and talented orators. Government isn't the province of talented and conscientious employees and elected officials - its a dumping ground for the lazy and incompetent, allowed to be that way by out of touch elitist elected officials paid to shill for crony capitalism and foreign influences.
