Yes, but what you've seen is a sampling of the hours and hours of video from that day that has not been released.
So you don't really know what's on the rest of that video and why it has not been released. What we do know that some of the main participants and organizers have not been charged, while some of the 500 others that had very minor roles are facing harsh charges, and were denied bail.
It makes sense not to charge the main characters, only if some of those people most combative and leading the charge, were in fact FBI informants, as has been alleged on the house floor. Subversion of a political movement, to discredit the movement by the government is a common tactic. Just hasn't been seen in the US before, other than maybe during the civil right movement.

- mullingitover 5y ago> Louie Gohmert making the allegation Weird how this person making these allegations would vote against the creation of a bipartisan commission to investigate the very claims he's making. Not weird at all though if he were making the allegations in bad faith.
- dukeofdoom 5y agoThat's possible, he is a politician after all. However, here's a civil rights lawyer's take on it and seems to echo this: https://youtu.be/1Ozbqjv0xw4?t=937 https://youtu.be/1Ozbqjv0xw4?t=937
- erk__ 5y agoIs it not because they are still building the cases? Also that guy tried to overturn the election in late December so could he as well not be a agent provocateur? Trying to rile up members of the republican party against the newly elected president.
