Whatever Happened to Alleged Capitol Rioter John Sullivan?

Nick Arama | Jan 06, 2022 6:00 PM ET

I wrote yesterday about Attorney General Merrick Garland’s claim that there is “one rule” of law that should apply to everyone. That’s what should be the case, under our Constitution.

Except that hasn’t been the case, as I noted, using as an example the glaring difference between the way that the DOJ has handled Jan. 6 versus the way it has approached the BLM/Antifa riots. I noted several aspects of the differences yesterday.

There are continuing questions regarding the treatment of John Sullivan.

You may recall that John Sullivan was one of the people who went into the Capitol and encouraged others to do so. He also filmed the killing of Ashli Babbitt by Capitol Police officer Michael Byrd. He sold that footage for at least $90,000. Babbitt was the only person who was killed that day as a direct result of actions taken during the riot.

But Sullivan also had been an organizer of BLM protests and run a website called Insurgence USA that sold Antifa black bloc gear. He’d been previously arrested for his involvement in a violent BLM protest in Utah where a driver was shot after his car was surrounded.  .  .  .

.  .  .  So what happened to Sullivan regarding those charges at the Capitol? He faces eight counts including obstruction of an official proceeding, civil disorder, and aiding and abetting.

But while 80 others are being held for up to 300 days in what prisoners refer to as the “D.C Gulag,” Sullivan was allowed to go home after one day while awaiting trial.

Meanwhile, in addition to Sullivan’s prior actions, he reportedly can be seen on his own footage breaking through multiple police lines, entering through a broken window, encouraging people forward, and even volunteering his knife to help break through a door into the House Chamber.  .  .

He was arrested in UTAH...then released?  Yes, where is he?

Charges that will be dropped as quietly as the US Attorney can do so.

Here’s John Sullivan’s contract with CNN, which did not do due diligence before hosting him on 1/6 and casting him as a courageous journalist. Prosecutors are seeking to seize these earnings from his bank account.

Footage has surfaced of Sullivan interacting with Ray Epps, mysterious military vet who was never arrested despite urging an invasion of the Capitol - and being called a fed for doing so 
Epps is exhibit A in the right’s claims of FBI infiltration: https://revolver.news/2021/12/damnin

Sullivan was escorted into the Capitol by Jade Sacker, a professional videographer making a film about him for Orwell Productions (a top documentary studio). What happened to that project?

Sullivan actually responded to these tweets:

Above is a 100-minute video of Sullivan claiming to be a journalist. It purports to contain footage from Jan. 5. I didn't watch it, but he claims he knew Epps was a fed. Sure.
