We knew on Jan 6 that the riots were out of place. President Trump had 1.1 million people at his rallies with no violence leading up to the election. Then, on Jan 6, there were sudden riots? This made no sense.
We were right.
We recently learned that a pre-run of Jan 6 was held in the fall of 2020, five months before Jan 6.
We know so much. For example, why did the Jan. 6 committee not bring in the Capitol Police chief for questioning?
Now you know why the January 6 Committee refused to allow Steven Sund, the former Chief of Capitol Police who oversaw the entirety of January 6, to testify:

We knew that the crowd size on that cold day was HUGE.
Never before seen video of Jan 6 crowd – person who took this estimated that the crowd was 1 – 2 million people. The media never showed this. These Americans knew the 2020 vote was stolen and never imagined the election would be certified for Joe Biden. #Jan6th pic.twitter.com/bcbShAMP7U

Now we find out that the Democrats drastically minimized the size of the crowd that day.
The Jan 6 report (Section 7.2) claims that only 53,000 were in attendance at the Ellipse on that day when President Trump spoke.
Lara Logan shared a post that is now hard to find, commenting on the Jan 6 report that grossly understated the size of the crowd on Jan 6.
Absolutely correct. I spent a year reporting on Jan 6 and the breadth and depth of the lies was breathtaking. https://t.co/ZJqjTpQbPj

Here is what that post shared.
Very little about J6 has been reported truthfully, including something as basic as the crowd size. For example the J6 Select Committee claimed in its report on page 585 that 53,000 people attended the speech at the Ellipse and that the venue looked “half-empty”.
President Trump stood on the north side of the Ellipse and the crowd stretched well beyond the Washington Monument to the south, which according to Google Maps is a distance of more than 2200 feet. The tightly packed crowd appears in photos to be nearly as wide as it was deep and there was very little open space between attendees.
2200 square feet by 2200 square feet represents 4,480,000 square feet. If each attendee used 10 square feet (the space per person estimated by the University of Berkeley for a “loosely packed” crowd like an outdoor protest) that would mean 484,000 people. If each attendee used 5 square feet (the estimate by the University of Berkeley for space used per person in a “moderately dense” crowd), that would represent nearly 1,000,000 people in the crowd.
We’re supposed to believe that 53,000 people filled all that space?
