Tooele County Sheriff’s Office A federal judge in Utah conditionally released left-wing “known agitator” John Earle Sullivan without bail on Friday, claiming prosecution “failed to meet the legal threshold to keep him in custody as he awaits further court proceedings,” Fox News reported.
Sullivan was charged Thursday for his role in the breach on the U.S. Capitol on January 6. The 26-year-old was charged with entering a restricted building or grounds, “civil disorders,” and violent entry or disorderly conduct, reported KUTV 2 News.
The agitator told Fox News last week he was at the Capitol to “document” the rally.
“Sullivan is required to stay off of social media, surrender his passport and be on house arrest. He also will have to stop working for the Insurgence USA activist group he founded, although he won’t have to cede control,” Fox News reported, noting that Sullivan, who carried a rifle at protests over the summer, is now barred from possessing firearms.
According to left-wing fact-checking site Politifact, Insurgence USA is “an activist group against police brutality.”
Violating these conditions of release could call for another arrest and could invoke separate court proceedings.
With these requirements, John Sullivan will be released from jail. @fox13

According to Fox News, Sullivan has another change pending in Utah related to a protest he organized over the summer where a motorist was shot during an altercation.
“Sullivan will virtually appear next at a D.C. hearing on Jan 22,” Fox 13’s Erin Cox reported Friday.

The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Chuck Ross noted Thursday that Sullivan appeared on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” following the breach, claiming he witnessed the fatal shooting of protester Ashli Babbitt by a Capitol Police officer. He also appeared alongside MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, Ross noted.
“Left wing activist John Sullivan charged in Capitol riots. He was filming as Ashli [Babbitt] was shot in the Capitol. Was interviewed by Chris Hayes and Anderson Cooper,” Ross posted to Twitter.
Sullivan apparently cheered on the breach and subsequent destruction, according to an affidavit of probable cause. KUTV 2 News quoted the affidavit, in part, as follows:
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 s— is ours! F— yeah,’ ‘We accomplished this s—. We did this together. F— yeah! We are all a part of this history,’ and ‘Let’s burn this s— down.’”
Sullivan also allegedly stated, “We gotta get this s*** burned.”
KUTV 2 News reporter Heidi Hatch highlighted Sullivan’s left-wing and expressly anti-Trump activism, on Thursday. “John Sullivan in DC in December- post from Instagram. He’s behind in the Tooele County Jail in Utah. His first court appearance 1/15 Friday,” she tweeted, captioning an Instagram video allegedly posted by Sullivan.
The video is captioned, “We got to rip that MF (motherf***er) out of office,” an apparent reference to Trump. The caption adds the hashtags, “#F***Trump,” “#BLM,” “Antifa,” and “TrumpMeltdown.”
The man in the video says, “We gotta f***ing rip Trump out of that office, right over there. F***ing pull him out that s***. We ain’t about wait ’till the next election. We about to go get that motherf***er.”
According to Fox News, Black Lives Matter Utah said Sullivan “is not a member, has never attended a meeting, and that he has no association with the group.”
But Richard Barnett was revoked bail and sent to Washington DC for a LOT LESS.
My guess is that he squealed like a pig about to be spit-roasted. Remember folks that Antifa has been infiltrated and the feds are going after their leadership.
he teaches others to murder, and two are dead
in two (2) states, and the stupid, criminal
blackrobe KNOWINGLY let him go to do it again???
Sullivan privilege?
“Not enough evidence”
Has he at least lost his job yet? Apparently thats what happens to anyone who went to this protest.
Yeah, tell me he wasn’t hired to do this job. He accomplished his mission with a pat on the back and probably extra pay for the arrest.
Dad is ex military. Works/worked at Northrup
To do what, give them a merit badge?
Look at this guy. Now I may have misunderstood a report that
I heard, but isn’t he the guy that broke the window, and then
an officer from inside the room shout our woman instead of
him.
He should be guilty of murder. If the report was accurate and
I understood it properly, why isn’t this guy looking a charge
involving a death?
brother claims that BLM called him up and wanted John away from their protests..
I think they were worried he was an infiltrator
But, but little Sullivan is ‘special’!
Sometimes I wonder...
That maybe the feds are the true leadership of Antifa...
As in giving direction, orders, planning actions, ensuring personnel are in place, providing logistical support, etc.
I pray that he did.
Doubt it, for if so, will not last long on the streets.
Are you able to start a rumor of that? If so, please get it in circulation!
brother claims john has an adDerall addition which John denies.
He looks psychotic or drugged in that photo
Yes.
Personally, do not trust the black robed group! Any of them.
Have an attorney friend that is trusted, she has proven, over and over that trust!
This guy works for Romney?
On the QT?
>>>He looks psychotic or drugged in that photo<<<
That he does.
His brother unloaded on the group the other day, but will not be believed. jmo.
We haven’t any proof that he doesn’t!! :^)
Hate to abandon thread, back tomorrow.
Sad that the tide is turning toward vigilante justice. Also known as an Anti-Soros Equalizer Adjustment.
When the rule of law fails, this becomes the norm. Sad, but inevitable.
If you want to bring down people, you’ve got to go to the source. This Sullivan cat isn’t a leader, despite the fawning press given to him by the corrupt media.
