Accused Capitol rioter John Sullivan — an anti-Trump activist who allegedly infiltrated the off-the-rails rally — has a history of violence at protests and “thrives on chaos,†a federal prosecutor warned in a failed bid to lock him up as his DC case proceeds.
“He thrives on chaos,†DC-based federal prosecutor Bryan N. Reeves told a judge in Sullivan’s home state of Utah during a Zoom hearing there Friday night, at which he was ordered released to house arrest over prosecution objections.
“The defendant uses messaging apps to set up meetings and set up riots,†Reeves told the judge.
“He will pose as different members of organizations, even those that have disavowed him,†just to agitate people and make trouble, Reeves argued of the former Olympic speed skater and self-styled provocateur.
Sullivan also had plans to return to the Capitol on Inauguration Day, Reeves argued.
This, despite a slew of allegations involving no fewer than three protests.
