U.S. seizes funds of Capitol riot suspect who sold Jan. 6 footage to media outlets
The Washington Times ^ | Saturday, May 22, 2021 | Rowan Scarborough -

The U.S. has seized thousands of dollars in media proceeds from accused rioter John Earle Sullivan, who sold the rights to his Jan. 6 narrated video inside the Capitol to NBC News, CNN and four other outlets.

The seizure was disclosed in a court filing in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., by a prosecutor opposing Mr. Sullivan’s motion to release the money. 

Assistant U.S. Attorney Candice C. Wong said that Mr. Sullivan received $90,875 for rights to his widely posted self-narrated video.

It included the stark scene of Ashli Babbitt being fatally shot by an unidentified Capitol Police officer as protesters tried to smash their way into the House Speaker’s Lobby. Of that sum, the government has seized $62,813, the court filing said. The seizure was authorized by two sealed warrants signed in April by a judge magistrate. 

Mr. Sullivan, a Utah resident active on social media under the name “Jayden X” as a Black Lives Matter supporter and leader of Insurgence USA, bragged afterward that filming the Babbitt killing would earn him “millions of dollars” in video rights.

He’s an “accused rioter”?

Is that even true? Has he (or anyone else) been charged by a competent authority with riot?

Is there a law against rioting? You’d never know it, based on Seattle or Portland.

I don’t know. I do know that I’ve read they have no real evidence to support the charges they concocted.

“ amid a sea of some 800 Trump supporters who invaded”

You can’t invade a place that belongs to you when the guards who work for you are holding the door open.

Speaking of that “happy accident”, like Covid, didn’t this guy Sullivan get quoted as yelling something like “we’re gonna burn this M F to the ground?”

I think they skipped over that sort of thing during impeachment for incitement.

Very true.

As the two clown shows continue to ramp up their rhetoric and demand a seat at the table, perhaps the circus masters in the Democratic Party are letting them know who’s still in charge.

A simple, sit in the corner with your coloring book and STFU.

“And while Mr. BLM is indeed a PoS, I still object to the 4th amendment violation in confiscating someone’s money absent a due process conviction.”

I agree, but Blm. Sullivan can fight this one on his own. There will be many more battles against government confiscation and I’ll join one of those.

This can’t be legal. If you want the footage...go after the media.
