Court documents filed by left-wing filmmaker John Sullivan's attorneys have claimed that CNN and NBC each paid $35,000 for his footage of the violence during the Capitol riot that took place on January 6, according to the latest reports.

"What's happening with @CNN and @NBCNews links to John Sullivan? Isn't he one of the "insurrectionists" that was paid by the aforementioned News Networks? Isn't he also ANTIFA?" another tweeted.

Sullivan's defense attorney filed invoices with the court that proved CNN and NBC each paying Sullivan's firm $35,000 last month for the video rights to the video he filmed during the riots.

He was arrested and charged last month on charges for his involvement in the riot, including interfering with police during a civil disorder. At a hearing on Tuesday, February 16, afternoon on Sullivan’s release conditions, Washington-based Magistrate Judge Robin Meriweather said, "I am rejecting the broader prohibition on Twitter and Facebook and encrypted social media platforms,” also ordering that the Utah man be taken off of 24-hour location monitoring via GPS.

At the same time, he said that Sullivan "is to no longer work for Insurgence USA," will have his internet use monitored by probation officials and will be banned from using any social media platforms to incite riots, violent protests armed conflict or violence. Sullivan is reportedly also under home detention.

Most likely it was. At least for CNN. I would have to search my bookmarks, but I’m almost certain I read an article about a CNN beotch being with him and then gloating afterward “that we did it”. They should be investigated for insurrection IMHO.

John Sullivan is the Antifa Death Squad member who filmed Ashlii being execute - he is likely a school for one of the secret police intelligence agencies who organized the whole Capitol infiltration. Of course the secret police intelligence agency media paid him. How else can those events possibly even be explained.
