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].”

f. SULLIVAN, once inside the Capitol Building, roamed the building with
other individuals who unlawfully entered. During one of his interactions with
others, SULLIVAN can be heard in the video saying, “We gotta get this shit burned.”
At other times as he is walking through the Capitol, SULLIVAN can be heard
saying, among other things, “it’s our house motherfuckers” and “we are getting this
shit.”

g. In addition, several times during the video, SULLIVAN encounters law
enforcement officers who are trying to prevent further advancement through the
building by those who entered unlawfully. In at least two encounters, SULLIVAN
can be heard on the video arguing with the officers, telling them to stand down so
that they do not get hurt. Among other things, SULLIVAN can be heard telling
officers, “you are putting yourself in harm’s way,” “the people have spoken,” and
“there are too many people, you gotta stand down, the people out there that tried to
do that shit, they got hurt, I saw it, I’m caring about you.”

h. At one point in the video, SULLIVAN enters an office within the U.S.
Capitol, as seen in the screenshot below. Once inside the office, SULLIVAN
approaches a window, also seen in the screenshot below, and states, “We did this
shit. We took this shit.

i. While at the window, a knocking noise is heard off-screen. The camera then
pans to show more of the window and a broken pane can be seen that was not broken
on SULLIVAN’s approach to the window:

He was framed like Jussie Smollett!!!

Totally ignored by the media, Fox News/Limbaugh, etc, included, was the fact that Jussie Smollett was a communist activist! In fact, his mother Janet was a member or close associate of the cop-killing, Maoist-revolutionary Black Panthers. Among her "dearest friends" was 1970s FBI Most Wanted fugitive Angela Davis!

From the New York Times...

"Jussie and Jurnee still count their mother, Janet Smollett, as their only acting coach. An African-American from New Orleans, Ms. Smollett met their father, Joel Smollett Sr., a Russian-Polish Jew, in the Bay Area, where they campaigned for civil rights.

“My mom was in the movement with Bobby Seale and Huey Newton, and one of her first mentors was Julian Bond,” Mr. Smollett said of the Black Panther founders and the civil rights leader.

“To this day, Angela Davis is one of her dearest friends. We’ve spent Mother’s Day with Angela.”..."

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
PROFILE: ANGELA DAVIS

* Communist professor at the University of California’s Santa Cruz campus
* Recipient of the Lenin “Peace Prize” from the police state of East Germany in 1979
* Provided an arsenal of weapons to Black Panthers who used them to kill a Marin Country judge in a failed attempt to free Davis' imprisoned lover, Black Panther murderer George Jackson
* Icon of the campus Left and frequent guest speaker at anti-war rallies
* Leader of a movement to free all criminals who are minorities claiming that they are political prisoners of the racist United States
* “The only path of liberation for black people is that which leads toward complete and radical overthrow of the capitalist class.”

Angela Yvonne Davis is a tenured professor in the “History of Consciousness” program at the University of California - Santa Cruz.

A former member of the Black Panther Party, she is currently a “University Professor,” one of only seven in the entire California University system, which entitles her to a six-figure salary and a research assistant.

This income is supplemented by speaking fees ranging from $10,000 to $20,000 per appearance on college campuses, where she is an icon of radical faculty, administrators, and students.

Davis has also taught at UCLA and the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

______________________________________

"In 1970 Davis was implicated by more than 20 witnesses in a plot to free her imprisoned lover, fellow Black Panther George Jackson, by hijacking a Marin County, California courtroom and taking hostage the judge, the prosecuting assistant district attorney, and two jurors.

In an ensuing gun battle outside the court building, Judge Harold Haley’s head was blown off by a sawed-off shotgun owned by Ms. Davis.

To avoid arrest for her alleged complicity in the plot, Ms. Davis fled California, using aliases and changing her appearance to avoid detection.

Two months later, Davis was arrested by the FBI in New York City."

SULLIVAN can then be heard saying, “I broke it. My bad, my apologies. Well
they already broke a window, so, you know, I didn’t know I hit it that hard. No one
13
got that on camera.” SULLIVAN then exits the office.
j. At another point in the video, SULLIVAN joins a crowd trying to open doors
to another part of the U.S. Capitol which are guarded by law enforcement officers,
as seen in the screenshot below. SULLIVAN can be heard on the video telling other
individuals in the crowd, “there’s officers at the door.” Less than two minutes later,
while officers are still at the doors and as others yell to break the glass windows in
them with various objects, SULLIVAN can be heard saying, “Hey guys, I have a knife. I have a knife. Let me up.” SULLIVAN does not, however,ever make it to the doors.

k. Eventually, individuals in the crowd outside the doors announce that the
officers are leaving and “giving us the building.” As the crowd begins to part so the
officers can leave, SULLIVAN can be heard saying, “Haul that motherfucker out
this bitch.”

Thanks!

Thanks!

l. At another time in the video, SULLIVAN is walking down a hallway in the
14
U.S. Capitol with a large group of people. SULLIVAN pans to a closed door and
can be heard saying, “Why don’t we go in there.” After someone hits against the
door, SULLIVAN can be heard saying, “That’s what I’m sayin’, break that shit.”
Further down the hall, SULLIVAN can be heard saying, “It would be fire if someone
had revolutionary music and shit.”
m. In the video, once SULLIVAN reaches the Speaker’s Lobby, where Victim
1 was eventually shot, SULLIVAN can be heard telling one of the law enforcement
officers guarding the doors, as seen in the screenshot below, “We want you to go
home. I’m recording and there’s so many people and they’re going to push their
way up here. Bro, I’ve seen people out there get hurt. I don’t want to see you get
hurt.”
n. Eventually, the law enforcement officers begin to exit and individuals within
the crowd move toward the doors. As this is happening, SULLIVAN can be heard
yelling after the officers, “I want you to go home,” and then yelling, “Go! Go! Get
15
this shit!” SULLIVAN then films as others in the crowd try to break out the glass
in the entryway door windows. Shortly thereafter, the video includes footage of
Victim 1 getting shot as she tries to enter through the window opening.
21. Subsequent to the events at the U.S. Capitol, SULLIVAN provided interviews to
various news outlets including CNN and ABC’s Good Morning America program. In the
interviews, SULLIVAN described the scene inside the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021.

[piasa]

22. On January 11, 2021, your affiant conducted a voluntary interview with SULLIVAN at SULLIVAN’s residence. The interview was recorded. In the interview, SULLIVAN again confirmed that he was in the U.S. Capitol, but denied having a knife. He also showed me the
ballistic vest and two gas masks he stated he had in Washington, D.C. Based on my review of the video described above, the ballistic vest and one of the gas masks that SULLIVAN showed during the interview on January 11, 2021, is the same seen in the video of SULLIVAN’s activities at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

23. At various times in his statements to law forcement, to others inside the U.S. Capitol that were recorded in his video, and to news outlets, SULLIVAN has claimed he was at the U.S. Capitol only to document and report. In addition, your affiant is aware that, at various times,
SULLIVAN has claimed to be a journalist. He has admitted, however, that he has no press credentials and the investigation has not revealed any connection between SULLIVAN and any journalistic organizations.

Well...that figures.

Go after the organization’s funds. RICO suave!

b. After the crowd broke through the last barricade, and as SULLIVAN and theothers 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!”

[Grampa Dave]

Great reality posts.

[jughandle]

That narrative has been hammered beyond death on many radio station’s news in my area, “the bloody, deadly siege of the Capitol carried out by Trump supporters trying to overthrow the election”

[NeverTyranny]

John Earle Sullivan: “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.”

President Trump: “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

Yep, and our president, OUR President Trump is impeached for the charge of insurrection. Yep.

[pollywog]

For the next few days I am going to post on different threads encouraging Freepers to contact the White House right away with words of encouragement, prayers, and any suggestions for our beloved President Trump to find a way to keep us all engaged together.
