Left-wing activist charged in Capitol riot after saying he was just there to 'document
Fox News ^ | Jan 14 2021 | Michael Ruiz | Fox News

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.

He was charged Thursday in federal court in Washington, D.C. after being arrested by the FBI. He remains in custody in Toeele County, in his home state of Utah, on a U.S. Marshals Service hold request.

If he remains on a hold, they’ve got something on him.

Cant believe they would hold someone who yelled” we have to burn this mutha down”. Any film maker knows that he is just documenting and directing what needs to happen. Like the Bush assassination film, its art. How can he be jailed for art??

I won’t rejoice until he’s indicted, convicted, and sent to prison for a very long time.

He will not be alone in prison.

FBI: “look, now that you’ve been outed, we’re going to have to put on a show for the public. These plastic handcuffs aren’t too tight are they? We’ll set you up a comfortable cell at the Hyatt Regency, hope those striped Gucci PJ’s are comfortable and the Big Mac’s and milk shakes are not too unpleasant a cuisine. Hey, just occasionally show a sad face for the camera’s and we promise to have you back rapping with your ho’s and bro’s in no-time...after all, you’re one of us ...in the war against...”THEM”

"He will not be alone in prison."

He probably won't be staying in prison very long. I worked 25 years in uniform in NY State's prisons. They'll let him plea down to a lower charge. Hardly anybody these days does the time for the actual crimes they commit. It's one of the problems of the criminal justice system. Everybody gets a deal, except the victims.

These people are looking a federal time. The feds don’t deal like the states and they don’t reduce sentences.

Ten years is ten years.

Liberals have repeatedly incited violence at conservative events - including Trump rallies in 2015 and 2016.

They also regularly fake hate crimes.

A political scientist found that fewer than 1 in 3 of 346 such allegations was genuine.

This means that if something bad happens blamed on conservatives ... liberals almost certainly did it.

“ Liberals have repeatedly incited violence at conservative events - including Trump rallies in 2015 and 2016.”

I pointed that out weeks ago when I posted that this Jan 6 rally in DC was a bad idea, Trump was making a mistake. There would be violence and MAGA would get blamed. I predicted all of that - an easy prediction - but I didn’t imagine the scale and scope of the blame and the vengeance that would come down on Trumps supporters

He made a huge mistake holding that rally
