Black Lives Matter Activist Who Stormed Capitol on Jan. 6 Arrested, Charged
The Epoch Times ^ | 1/14/2021 | ZACHARY STIEBER

Posted on 01/14/2021 2:46:41 PM PST by Titus-Maximus

The Black Lives Matter activist who was seen storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was arrested and charged, the Department of Justice said Thursday.

A newly released court filing says John Earle Sullivan, 26, told FBI agents last week that he was at the Capitol when the breach happened. He said he entered through a window that had been broken out. He also said he was present when Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, was shot dead by a U.S. Capitol Police officer as she tried to climb into the House Speaker’s Lobby through a window.

Sullivan showed agents some of the footage he captured inside the building, which he and others entered illegally.

Videos showed Sullivan and others breaking through a barricade, with the Utah man shouting: “There are so many people. Let’s go. This [Expletive] is ours! [Expletive] yeah,” “We accomplished this [expletive]. We did this together. [Expletive] yeah! We are all a part of this history. Let’s burn this [Expletive] down.”

He was later heard encouraging protesters to climb a wall to get to an entrance to the Capitol and was seen entering the building.

During one conversation with others while inside, Sullivan said, “We gotta get this [expletive] burned.” At other times, he said, among other things, “it’s our house [expletive]” and “we are getting this [expletive].”

He’s connected to both groups and was the organizer of a protest in Utah, perhaps the very one where rioters attacked and shot a motorist.

No, another guy was caught heading for the event who had illegal weapons in his car; he was also BLM.

I haven’t seen the video but according to GP (grain of salt) Sullivan also said he broke the window that the girl was passing through when she got shot. If true, this takes him from merely “being there” to actively taking part in the destruction of property.

I don’t think it was Sullivan who pulled the gun though he was involved in that riot.

Importantly, while POSING AS A TRUMP SUPPORTER!

The obvious intent, as I had no doubt about from the start, was for these communist-revolutionary scum to mix in with the crowd and instigate the violence and destruction that took place. That is what these communist scum do, same with the "social justice" protests.

SULLIVAN, DOB 07/18/1994, is a resident of Utah. Based on publicly available
information and information provided by SULLIVAN in an interview on January 7, 2021, described
further below, SULLIVAN is the leader of an organization called Insurgence USA through which
he organizes protests. On July 13, 2020, SULLIVAN was charged with Rioting and Criminal
Mischief by the local law enforcement authorities in Provo, Utah, based on his activities around a
June 30, 2020, protest in which a civilian was shot and injured. The case is still pending.
12. The United States obtained a video of SULLIVAN, posted on YouTube, in which,
while attending a protest in Washington, D.C., SULLIVAN can be seen telling a crowd, over a
microphone, “we about to burn this shit down,” “we got to rip Trump out of office . . . fucking pull
him out of that shit . . . we ain’t waiting until the next election . . . we about to go get that
motherfucker.” SULLIVAN then can be seen leading the crowd in a chant of, “it’s time for a
revolution.”1
STATEMENT OF FACTS SUPPORTING PROBABLE CAUSE
13. On January 7, 2021, SULLIVAN participated in a voluntary interview with a Federal
Bureau of Investigation Special Agent in Washington, D.C. SULLIVAN identified himself to the Victim 1.
16. SULLIVAN also voluntarily provided two phone numbers and multiple social media
accounts and identifiers to special agents, including a YouTube account username, JaydenX.
17. At the conclusion of the interview, SULLIVAN stated that he was willing to
voluntarily provide a copy of all footage he recorded within the U.S. Capitol to law enforcement
authorities.
18. On January 9, 2021, a task force officer with the FBI made contact with SULLIVAN
at one of the phone numbers SULLIVAN provided during his January 7 interview to follow up on
SULLIVAN’s offer to voluntarily provide his footage. SULLIVAN told the task force officer that
the video he took within and around the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, was in an iCloud account.
The same day, SULLIVAN sent a link to law enforcement from a Google Photos account under the
name “John Sullivan,” with an approximately 50 minute video. I have reviewed the video.

b. After the crowd broke through the last barricade, and as SULLIVAN and the
others approach the Capitol Building, SULLIVAN can be heard in the video saying
at various points: “There are so many people. Let’s go. This shit is ours! Fuck yeah,”
“We accomplished this shit. We did this together. Fuck yeah! We are all a part of
this history,” and “Let’s burn this shit down.”
c. Later, SULLIVAN’s video includes footage of individuals climbing a wall
to reach a plaza just outside the Capitol Building entrance, as seen in the screenshot
below. As individuals are climbing the wall, SULLIVAN can be heard saying, “You
guys are fucking savage. Let’s go!”

d. At one point, SULLIVAN can be heard telling one of the individuals
climbing the wall to give SULLIVAN his hand as individuals in the crowd are
calling to help people up the wall.
e. The video records SULLIVAN’s entrance into the U.S. Capitol building
through a broken window:[pic]
