18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy
U.S. Code
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
A conspiracy of (more than) twelve seditionists is a criminal act: It being successful or failing is irrelevant.

"They went to the capitol to provide security...."
"They did believe that they were going to have to respond to antifa or be called up by the president."
Why on earth would the Oaf Creepers be "called up by the president?"
