It's not at all a bold claim. The founder of the Oath Keepers was convicted, tried, and found guilty of "seditious conspiracy" in a court of law.

You are are either lying, or guilty of severe inattention, if you go around claiming that "all the evidence we have seen" shows that. e.g.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iludfj6Pe7w <- That's a forcible breach, not "being let through"




The comment you are replying to states that some of the rioters had assistance entering and being led through the building - this has been shown on video multiple times. Others forcibly entering does not preclude that occurrence.

Your rebuttal seems to be "but the leader wasn't packing heat (alongside all of his underlings who were)". I would counter that if the leader has a bunch of people around him with guns, whether they themselves personally were carrying guns doesn't matter that much.
