The NG, FBI and Park police were called in after it was already too late and the building had been occupied.

The good thing about the FBI taking this whole investigation over is that as they identify and arrest these clowns, they are subject to federal law instead of DC law and as such face a very difficult path to proving innocence, The feds have resources and man power no other law enforcement group can throw at them. Prison time will be served federally as well.....and that is no walk in the park.
you're right. there was no plan to stop this. The Trumpians in government wanted this exact thing to happen. they were probably mad it wasn't worse.

No surprise that the military was out there in force before the BLM marches, but no preparations were in place for this. to risk a princess bride meme, it's inconceivable this wasn't intentional.
