U.S. seizes funds of Capitol riot suspect who sold Jan. 6 footage to media outlets
The Washington Times ^ | Saturday, May 22, 2021 | Rowan Scarborough -

The U.S. has seized thousands of dollars in media proceeds from accused rioter John Earle Sullivan, who sold the rights to his Jan. 6 narrated video inside the Capitol to NBC News, CNN and four other outlets.

The seizure was disclosed in a court filing in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., by a prosecutor opposing Mr. Sullivan’s motion to release the money. 

Assistant U.S. Attorney Candice C. Wong said that Mr. Sullivan received $90,875 for rights to his widely posted self-narrated video.

It included the stark scene of Ashli Babbitt being fatally shot by an unidentified Capitol Police officer as protesters tried to smash their way into the House Speaker’s Lobby. Of that sum, the government has seized $62,813, the court filing said. The seizure was authorized by two sealed warrants signed in April by a judge magistrate. 

Mr. Sullivan, a Utah resident active on social media under the name “Jayden X” as a Black Lives Matter supporter and leader of Insurgence USA, bragged afterward that filming the Babbitt killing would earn him “millions of dollars” in video rights.

Correct, there are more Leftists who were there and #ComDem’s don’t want to discuss that.

There are more.

But quoting SanFranNan: “We make up the rules as we go along.”

This whole Jan 6th thing was a set up to embarrass the right. It stinks to high heaven. The killing of that woman was nothing short of a political murder. Pelosi, Schumer et al should be arrested and charged with conspiracy to overthrow the government.

P.S. why don't we still know who the shooter was?

JMHO

The #ComDem’s have made NO EFFORT, to identify BLM and Antifa involved.


Isn’t this guy an antifa guy?

Thought I’d read that.

Of course, MSM would never admit that....they’d just push along their usual, false Trump-supporters-insurrection narrative.

“amid a sea of some 800 Trump supporters who invaded”

That reads like 800 people invaded the Capitol

I saw this Jayden X person post a youtube video after the Jan 6 “insurrection” and people were calling him out saying he should be in jail, and he was defiant and kind of bragging that he is untouchable since he wasn’t charged.

They would have left him alone, but now they are afraid the truth will come out of what really happened at the Capital on Jan. 6, 2021.

He’s told, hush up and we might let you have your money and we might not send you to jail.

They are projecting the right on top of what they actually did.

Does no one remember the CNN babe that was with him? Together her and Sullivan proclaimed “We did it”. Well there has never been a word about her being arrested.

They should seize all the money laundered through these fake book deals that these bastards make. These so called books become best sellers because of huge corporate purchase from companies looking to purchase influence. They then given them to employees or simply toss them out. The reminder end up on the discount bin. Prove me wrong!

Agree. Equal justice for all is what all of us should desire.

Imagine if the French sans culottes had stormed the Tuileries Palace armed with horned hats and iPhones to take selfies.
