Well, what they were HOPING to do was, as I understand it, get them to either nullify or delay the vote (meaning Trump would be president longer and an investigation into voter fraud could continue) and potentially get them to change the vote so Trump would win. Which, at least as they understood it, would TECHNICALLY be legal. I don't know if it's actually is or if they'd have basically been crashing the swearing in on the logic that, if he never gets sworn in, he's not president. The problem is that mobs... aren't exactly sane regardless of their cause. All it takes is a few crazies and you could turn a mob against cruelty to puppies into a mob in favor of violently beating to death anyone who ever hurt a puppy. I think it got confirmed that the guy in that crazy shaman get-up wasn't actually in favor of Trump or something (though I forget what his reason for being there was).

Nothing is technically legal if obtained through violence against police and breaking into federal property.

You also ignore that this crazy mob was called to Washington by Trump, spurred on by conspiracy theories from Trump and his circle, encouraged to use violence by speeches given that day, and was later acknowledged by both politicians and media who side with Trump that he should have intervened.

Sure, totally random and unpredictable though, even though we have evidence of organized groups arming and coming to DC with that purpose.
