Certainly if they had caught Pence and hung him that would have backfired in a big way on a
lot of people. Or if they had harmed Nancy Pelosi in any way. But who knows what they would have really done? That all seems a bit harsh. What they were doing was unlawful, so the best they could have done was to simply delay Comgress a day or so in completing it's certification of the election. I don't see any outcome Trump could have strutted over.
