This wasn't really unexpected, Trump didn't incite the riot and he can't be tried.
Quote:
Former President Donald J. Trump’s lawyers denied on Tuesday that he incited the deadly assault on the Capitol and argued that the Senate had no power to try a former president, as House prosecutors made their case that Mr. Trump was “singularly responsible” for the Jan. 6 rampage and must be convicted and barred from holding any future office.
The dueling filings provided the clearest preview yet of a politically fraught impeachment trial — the second in just a year — scheduled to begin in earnest next Tuesday. Both sides indicated they were ready for a debate over the constitutionality of trying a former president. They were also lining up diametrically opposed interpretations of a set of events witnessed on live television across the nation.

Since then, I found two cases from when the founders of the constitution were still alive (and so, could give opinions on their intent) where officials were impeached after leaving office.
Maybe they realized their constitutionality thing is weak so they're going with a one-two punch. Of nothing.
Why do you hate the truth? What happened was planned.
of course it was planned.....long before Trump even gave his speech
...they came to Trump's rally with everything they needed to invade Congress....already prepared before Trump
and left for Congress before Trump even finished
