Because none of it was illegal until the mob overpowered security and entered the Capitol. Short of tape or texts with the key players discussing not just the event and the march to the Capitol, but giving directions to commit the crimes that occurred there, it's just not going to be enough. Now the individual groups that assaulted the Capitol definitely planned illegal activity.

And furthermore, the Republicans scheme not to certify the election wasn't even a crime. It's antidemocratic bullshit, but not tacitly illegal.
