'Regardless of Chesebro's potential criminal liability for being in the restricted areas of Capitol grounds, this evidence could be cited by prosecutors as further proof that Chesebro was not operating as a bona fide legal advisor but rather was an activist aligned in the cause to overturn the election,' Goodman said. 'It undercuts defenses Chesebro might mount that he was functioning only in the role of providing legal advice for clients.'

Absolutely. It confirms the underlying strategy involved three components -- pseudo legal maneuvers, thuggery and chaos -- whose degrees of adoption the coup planners expected to tweak in real time based on which approved to be most effective.
If they found enough ignorant and compliant tools within the state-level Republican parties to make the electoral slate swap happen, great. If it might be helpful to spook some of those officials with a little public violence in the streets in their capital city, we'll send a local chapter of the Proud Boys or Oath Keepers your way. If that didn't work, completely disrupting the January 6 electoral college certification might trigger enough Congressional panic to conclude, "gee if THIS many people are unhappy, maybe there's something to this fraud thing" and postpone the certification, triggering more chaos which Trump could then use as a pretext to impose martial law then toss the actual election results by fiat.
After having worked within the "legal" team to initiate the legal fraud with a whitewashed version of a crackpot theory from a lifetime corrupt political operative, Chesebro was acting on January 6 as an eye on the thuggery / chaos elements for the legal team to confirm how well those two pillars were working and provide feedback if anything else might be done from Trump's end to further fan any flame that erupted at an opportune location for the coup effort. I would expect that any call and text message records from Chesebro's phone would confirm nearly continuous communication with members of the core team in the Whitehouse and the coup "war room" at the nearby hotel.
