They took both houses, and were never gassed nor exposed to rubber bullets, no one was tased, there were far too few security forces on hand, and in spite of the attackers being armed and carrying bombs, only one person was shot. This episode was carefully planned by Trumpers, and went exactly as choreographed. Someone had influence with the Capitol Police, the Capitol Guard, and even the National Guard wasn't called for hours. This was planned and almost succeeded.

The idiot who stood at the Podium and shouted "Trump won the election" and the other "special needs" guy who took the podium in the Senate. Short of those actions it might have passed for a riot, and been trespass, but when it came to attempting to burn the elector's votes and harass the members of Congress, it became a violent attempt to overthrow the government. Had not the President said "take back our government" to the very people who invaded, the case would be much less than it is.
