The problem with that is at least some of the mob members are getting pissed at being called Antifa and are pushing back. It's kind of hard to lie about who did it when it's his own most loyal followers -- the ones who would normally buy into any random lie he spouts -- and they want to be recognized for it.
According to Reuters, "Vice President Mike Pence said in a letter to House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi he is opposed to invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office."

Mr. Pence, please explain to me how your Constitution is not consistent with your Constitution.
He wants an impeachment trial because that looks less bad for him than invoking the 25th amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
Pompeo cancels Europe trip after Luxembourg snub - Because when your boss has fucked up this bad, even Luxembourg tells you to fuck off.
Going to rewrite this headline a bit, just to zazz it up a bit:
General of the Space Force Condemns Insurrection along with the rest of the Joint Chiefs. 2021 is not quite The Future I was promised, but at least it's trying!
Riots and Congressional "safe room" were COVID-19 superspreader events. Republicans weren't willing to wear masks even while the anti-mask leader was sending a mob of unmasked men to their workplace. Outside, I can only imagine it was worse.
The thing about Parler amuses me greatly, because it seems like one of those running jokes about programmers who could clone Twitter in a week. I mean, I could do it, if you on this board all wanted a Twitter clone. But running an app for millions of people is another thing entirely. I was honestly expecting Parler to outlast Voat, but here we are.
Oh, dear. It seems Democrats may "martyr" President Windrip if they impeach him. At least, it'll be martyrdom
according to his friend, Farage of the B.U.F.
Tiny problem; Trump's going to be a key figure no matter what, martyrdom won't even change his impact.
I'm all in favour of healing.
You want a wound to heal cleanly?
First you need to remove any dirt driven in, clean out any rot and disinfect it, before sewing it up.
YouTube suspends Trump's channel for 7 days
He's running out of ways to make his voice heard... unless he pays for a server out of his own pocket and gets somebody to install a robust messaging system of some sort on it, he'll be reduced to (shock, gasp) looking at people while he talks directly
to at them.
The way things are going, he may well have problems getting permits for rallies...

That's easy. Pence doesn't want him to be able to hold a political office ever again after this. Invoking the 25th doesn't do this, but a conviction after an impeachment will.
