It was an autocoup attempt, and I'd say it failed because the guy who made the pipe bombs failed more than any other reason. Maybe it was wet in his basement, or maybe his wires were corroded. Maybe he'd been taking too many painkillers a given day and some crucial step slipped his mind. Or maybe he was waiting just a few more minutes.
I think the coup attempt failed when all living former secretaries for war came out and reminded the army of itsconstitutional obligations. I wouldn't be too surprised if a number of units had been primed and ready to come out in support of the Capitol hill mob.
