The whole point of Section 3 is to disqualify oath breaking insurrectionists even if they have not, or cannot, be convicted.
Insurrection requires an insurrection. There was none in this instance.

There most certainly was a "rising against civil or political authority, or the established government; open and active opposition to the execution of law in a city or state."
Those people were unlawfully attempting to interfere with the lawful transfer of power at the very top of the government.
It was at best a lynch mob.

I don't know...in August, 2021, Congress passed public law 117-32 was passed to award Four Congressional Gold Medals if Honor to Capitol policemen.
That Act contained a list of Congressional Findings of Fact, including:
quote:
(2) On January 6, 2021, a mob of insurrectionists forced its way into the U.S. Capitol building and congressional office buildings and engaged in acts of vandalism, looting, and violently attacked Capitol Police officers.
The Act passed the House 406 - 21, and passed the Senate unanimously. So it seems Cingress believed there was an insurrection.
