CNN And NBC Both Paid $35,000 To Left-Wing Activist For Footage Of Fatal Capitol Shooting

[Daily Caller, ht Insty] A left-wing activist facing criminal charges for his involvement in the Capitol riots received $35,000 from both CNN and NBC for footage he recorded of a Trump supporter

...Ashli Babbit...

being fatally shot inside the Capitol building, according to records he filed in federal court on Tuesday.

Was he contracted to produce it, or did he offer it for sale afterward?

Lawyers for John Sullivan, a 26-year-old Utah native, disclosed the payments as part of the activist’s argument that he was acting as a journalist in the Capitol rather than a rioter.
"Journolist"
"Defendant is legitimately self-employed as a documentarian and it is oppressive to require that he not be allowed to continue his primary area of employment for an extended period of time," Steven R. Kiersh, the Sullivan lawyer, wrote in a court filing in which he argued for Sullivan to be allowed to continue using Facebook and Twitter.

Sullivan, who founded the social justice group Insurgence USA,

...their slickly produced website looks like a single use false-nose-and-mustache thingy to make his general Black Bloc anarcho-communist viciousness look like romantic social activism. Update: Mr. Sullivan, who also goes by Jaydon X, formed the group in response to the death of George Floyd. He was arrested on January 14th, which is why we have no record of him in the archives...

was charged on Jan. 13 with illegally entering the Capitol, civil disorder, and violent or disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

Prosecutors cited video that Sullivan recorded inside the Capitol in which he called for burning down the building, while egging on others who had broken into the building. (RELATED: Prosecutors Charge Activist John Sullivan In Capitol Riots)

"We accomplished this shit. We did this together. Fuck yeah! We are all a part of this history," he said in a video cited by prosecutors.

"Let’s burn this shit down," he also allegedly said.

#1 And if the whole thing was a staged event, he basically was a snuff movie producer and the lamestream media was the distributor.

#2 Sullivan, who founded the social justice group Insurgence USA,

#3 BLMer:

Sullivan faces charges of rioting in Provo, Utah, his hometown, for a Black Lives Matter protest he helped organize in June 2020.

Speaking of "egging on," bonus points for correctly guessing who said the following on national TV in June:

“They’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop. This is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not gonna stop. And everyone beware because they’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop before Election Day and they’re not going to stop after Election Day. And everyone should take note of that. They’re not gonna let up and they should not.”

#4 Well, that certainly doesn't fit the narrative. How are CNN and NBC explaining it?

#5 At last count the only person killed because of violence was one of the rioters. And yet our representatives soiled themselves and are now responding out of embarrassment and because Mitch isn't stopping them.

#9 My guess is he was encouraging Ashli to climb through the window as he was filming. Would love to hear the audio.
