Empthywheel breaks it down:
https://www.emptywheel.net/2021/01/22/stand-back-and-stand-by-the-proud-boys-node-of-the-january-6-attack/
BUT THIS PIECE OF EVIDENCE STOOD OUT TO ME:
In Goodwyns case, the government shows him adopting Trumps avatar on Twitter and repeating Trumps own line from the debate, Stand back and stand by.
This route is one of the most likely ones via which the government will tie the violence to those close to Trump trying to undermine the election and with Trumps Stand back and stand by comment possibly even Trump.

I neglected to mention that.
It should also be noted that Goodwyn is a self-proclaimed member of the Proud Boys, a group known to the FBI as being present and disrupting the functions of the U.S. Congress on January 6, 202. Goodwyn has posted on his social media to that effect as recently as November 2020, commenting specifically on the 2020 Presidential election.
