The curious case of the BLM-loving Capitol riot provocateur who was paid $35K each by CNN and NBC
[AMERICANTHINKER] Well, this isn't going to help the corporate media narrative that "insurrectionists" inspired by President Trump's rhetoric tried to overthrow democracy at the Capitol. Yesterday on ABC's This Week, George Will said, "I would like to see January 6th as burned into the American mind as firmly as 9/11," and I don't think he meant as an example of agents provocateurs creating false flag incidents to discredit their political rivals.

But thanks to a court filing that has escaped corporate media notice, we now know that the Justice Department has seized over $60,000 from the bank accounts of John Earle Sullivan, who sold video he took of activities that day, including of the murder of Ashli Babbitt, under the theory that it was the fruit of a criminal act.

Rowan Scarborough reports for the Washington Times:

Continued from Page 6



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

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,
...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. 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...
bragged afterward that filming the Babbitt killing would earn him "millions of dollars" in video rights.

Mr. Sullivan, 26, is the lone left-wing activist identified to date
Lone? Don’t be absurd. The QAnon Shaman, Jacob Chansley, Aspie though his lawyer claims him to be, was also an habitué of Antifa/Black Lives Matter activities of long standing. No doubt there were others, as has been mentioned by several trained observers...
amid a sea of some 800 Trump supporters who invaded after President Trump delivered his "Stop the Steal" rally speech. Protesters were trying to stop a joint session of Congress from certifying President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass.......
's electoral college win.

Mr. Sullivan has a history of attending BLM demonstrations and encouraging violence.

In Provo, Utah, police charged him with threatening a woman driver and damaging her car during a June 29 George Floyd protest. He came to Washington in August and at a BLM rally urged protesters to drag Mr. Trump out of the White House, according to court filings.

While the names of the media outlets that paid Sullivan are redacted from Ms. Wong's court filing, as the Western Journal notes:

However,
if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
in a February court hearing, Sullivan's lawyers submitted invoices showing CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who knows what it might stand for...
and NBC each paid him $35,000 for the rights to his footage

#1 I know AT is trying to stick to proven facts, but Brokeback Cowboy with his Australian Style Duster, Brand New Fencing Gloves, and wrists like Miley Cyrus' ankles is definitely suspect.

The only thing surprising is that Confederate Doughnut were able to get their fat asses away from the gaming table long enough to make it up three flights of stairs for a photograph.
