Left-wing activist charged in Capitol riot after saying he was just there to ‘document’
A left-wing activist who told Fox News last week that he’d followed a pro-Trump mob into the Capitol in order to “document” the siege is now the subject of a criminal complaint in connection with his alleged participation, according to the Justice Department.
John Sullivan can allegedly be heard egging on protesters in video he provided to the FBI, according to a federal criminal complaint. He has also shared the video to his YouTube and Twitter accounts under the pseudonym Jayden X.
Inside the building, he told rioters that “We gotta get this s— burned,” and “it’s our house m————,” according to an affidavit signed by FBI Special Agent Matthew Foulger.

The website, Trending Politics, has published the following report:
I thought they were going to charge everyone with insurrection. I guess that only applies if you are a real Trump supporter.
Huh? This Utah antifa and BLM activist John Sullivan IS NOT a Trump supporter.
He and his thugs were hired by Nancy Pelosi to pretend to be a Trump supporter and riot and enter the Capitol so that she could blame it on President Trump.
There is NOTHING Nasty Nancy wouldn’t do to hurt and discredit President Trump.
We have seen Pelosi’s insane hate for over 4 years.
I am surprised he was even arrested…. I thought BLM was above the law.

How many more were there and why hasn’t Biden/Harris been tied to these violent rioters ?
Or is this reserved just for Trump and his supporters ?!?
And lastly, where is the damn Republican Establishment and why are they not on every channel demanding equal justice under the law !!
From the minute it started, I’ve wondered why people didn’t realize that, while there may be Trump supporters participating, isn’t it strange that suddenly there is violence at a Trump support rally? Of course there were left wing infiltrators who were there specifically to incite violence. As for the silence of the Republicans, the leftists might want to remember the quote attributed to Yamamoto during WWII, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”
The whole capitol “riot” was a setup.
Didn’t you get the memo. LAWS only ever apply to conservative/male/christian/white folk..
Solution to preventing this from EVER happening again. Honest elections where NOBODY votes without proper ID and in person only. Too simple for simpleton politiciians with hidden agenda’s to embrace? Doesn’t cost a thing! Why does it not happen? The answer is corruption. If this does not get corrected while Democrats hold power, the next time will be outright Civil War. Is that what they really want? 99.99% of the flag waivers do not want it, and don’t get upset losing in FAIR elections in honest competition. WE THE PEOPLE have had our power stolen by our new rulers,,,The MEdia and High Tech. The wrong buildings are being invaded and the wrong people are being attacked. Smart people cut off the head of the snake, not just the prattling rattle. The Democrats now swim the Potomac and cross the Rubicon with the snakes on their backs thinking themselves safe from the bite. Not So guys, the snakes do what they do when hungry.
Unfortunately, WE are living in a nightmare world, WHERE THOSE election reforms, i highly doubt, will EVER occur…
Just remember they were all Trump supporters, that broke into the Capitol, per the Fake News Media and the Democrats! BLM activist John E. Sullivan was arrested, but don’t worry Fake News Media and Democrats, John Sullivan will be released, by the Department of No Justice. The criminal FBI will probably give John Sullivan an award.
You won’t read about this in the NYT or The WaPo .
Heck, you’d probably be FIRED if you TRIED to report on it.
dont worry kamala will bail him out.
OR get biden to pardon him.
Each and every person who crossed police lines and entered the building is personally responsible for their actions. However, whose who knowingly and deliberately incite violence should be punished more severely.
Lock em up.
How is that possible? The mainstream media and numerous Democrat Congress members INSIST that there were NO Antifa/BLM or other non Trump supporting people involved in the mess at the Captiol.
What the Democratic leadership fails to recognize is their hatred, violence infused desire to get rid of Pres. Trump is that they made a deal with the devil when they linked up with Antifa/BLM. These groups don’t want Biden as president. They want a weak leader that they can either brow beat into submission or get rid of by other means. They WANT anarchy. Trump stood in their way. Their support of Biden was simply to get what they wanted and a bunch of useful idiots went along with them and voted in Biden while the Democrat leadership stopped at nothing to steal the election. They are in for a big surprise. Sadly, so is the rest of the nation.
Trump really nailed it when he said: “They’re not coming after ME. They’re coming after YOU. I’m just in the way!”
Give it a week or two, and all charges against him will be mysteriously dropped.
I am not even sure it will take that long..
Not to worry. Uncle Joe will pardon him next week.
There was a video I saw and I am sure many others saw it. A group of protesters were standing at a door. It was not a public entrance. The doors were opened by several police officers and the crowd was allowed to walk in unchallenged. I would like to know who those people were and why they were allowed to go directly into the Capitol building? Looks like there will be a lot of unanswered questions about this.
AND why have those officers, NOT ALREADY been fired!
