Do you actually believe that the members of the House had an expectation of reversing the election? There were only 170 or so of them. And it’s not as if these individual members of Congress were involved in the riot, breakdown of law and order, “insurrection”, or takeover of the capitol.

No, they knew (or at least the mature ones knew) it was doomed. But their voters did not. They went in there lying to their base that this was going to fix what they presented as a "fraudulent" election. And that's not OK.
