Accused Capitol rioter John Sullivan sold video footage he recorded at the Jan. 6 siege to NBC and CNN for $35,000 each, according to new court papers.
The news came as prosecutors on Tuesday tried to ban the Utah provocateur — a self-styled anti-Trump activist who they allege infiltrates protests to cause chaos and record video footage — from accessing social media, according to Politico.
Sullivan maintains that he is a journalist for his website Insurgence USA — and his defense attorney filed invoices for the $35,000 that NBC News and CNN each apparently paid for rights to use the videos.

The Capitol “ Riot “ was a hoax.
Just like everything else this year, that the Fake News conglomerate has sold to the brain dead elements of the populace.
And this is the real problem with journalism today.
“Activist/Journalists” start shit, film it and then monetize it.
They are neither activists or journalists. They are parasitic grifters.
L’agent provocateur I believe they called them back in the day.
So anti and blm terrorists get paid while Trump supporters do time.

***The Capitol “ Riot “ was a hoax.***
But the news media has been trying to portray it as an American version of the “Storming of the Tuileuries” in 1792.
Perhaps he can testify where Ashli was taken after she was “shot”. Who declared her dead? This is silence money over a fake shooting.
Haha. Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda.
Rush called it “Drive by Media”
Or another way to look at it is CNN and NBC paid him tens of thousands of dollars to incite a riot.

He wants to claim he was a journalist to take advantage of that no-good journalist shield law that John McCain and the rats supported.
This makes me sick.
Personally, I believe that he wasn’t paid by the stations for the video... I believe that they just laundered the money from the Deep State to a paid instigator.
There’s a video out now of his actually inciting the riot, by his words and his actions encouraging people to riot.
By claiming to be a journalist and by getting paid for his footage, Sullivan can refuse to reveal backers, etc. :
Exclusive: John Cornyn Rips Chuck Schumer’s Media ‘Shield Law’
Breitbart ^ | 3/27/2014 | Matthew Boyle

The number two Republican in the Senate is lambasting a media “shield law” proposed by New York Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer, potentially imperiling its shot at passage.
“This is a bad idea and one whose time has not come,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), the Senate minority whip, told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview. “Believe me, we will not be rolled over.”
Schumer’s “Free Flow of Information Act” passed the Senate Judiciary Committee in September, and he recently said he already has the 60 votes needed to pass the bill on the floor. “We’ll get a few more Republicans, not many more, but we have the 60 votes,” Schumer told reporters in New York last week.
He’s bluffing, Cornyn retorts.
“If he had the votes to pass it, it already would have been passed,” Cornyn says, adding, “This isn’t about passing legislation, this is about distracting the public’s attention and changing the subject from the failed policies of this administration. I think you could put this in that same category.”
Schumer’s proposal would exempt a “covered journalist” from subpoenas and other legal requirements to expose their confidential sources in leak investigations and other areas. Other lawmakers have proposed similar ideas in the past, but the effort gained new momentum after a series of revelations about controversial tactics the Justice Department was using to target journalists.
For instance, the Department of Justice secretly monitored Fox News reporter James Rosen in the course of a leak investigation, even claiming in a court filing he was a subject of investigation himself. In another instance, the government had secretly monitored numerous phone lines used by the Associated Press, including one in the U.S. Capitol.
Cornyn says Schumer’s proposal is fatally flawed and may be an unworkable idea altogether.

>>Sullivan maintains that he is a journalist for his website Insurgence USA
Sullivan LED the insurgency and by his own website name admits his agenda.
So an ANTIFA ring leader was up on the capital steps screaming encouragement at the demonstrators to break the law and taping it so he could make $70,000.
What a guy. I am thinking that all of his ANTIFA terrorist buddies are so proud of him. Lets hold a big meeting and let them all celibate.
Of course we have to pass out the meeting address to all who care to respond.
