Known Capitol riot leader spent one day in jail, while 80 others languish in 'DC Gulag'
[Washington Examiner] He’s a wannabe music star who boasts about being an insurrectionist in social media accounts filled with curse-filled rants against former President Donald Trump.

You would think the Jan. 6 march on the Capitol would be the last place to find John Earle Sullivan, yet the 27-year-old was seen continuously spurring on violence that day by pushing the crowd forward. He was just feet away from veteran Ashli Babbitt when she was shot dead by a Capitol Police officer outside the House chamber, court records show, and he even sold video he shot of the incident for $90,000.

But unlike some 80 other individuals who have been imprisoned for up to 300 days for storming the Capitol, Sullivan has been allowed to go home to Utah while awaiting a trial date on eight criminal counts. One of the protesters who has been in jail the longest, Kenneth Harrelson, is accused of pushing into the Capitol behind a mob. He stayed inside 18 minutes, walking around and taking photographs, and has not been accused of any violence in court documents reviewed by the Washington Examiner.

In contrast, Sullivan carried a knife into the Capitol and offered to use it, broke a window, and ordered officers to leave their posts where he would soon film Babbitt getting shot.

"He was head of a group Insurgence USA, which sounds like antifa and Black Lives Matter," Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told the Washington Examiner.
The 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.
"John Sullivan is a professional rioter, and he is actually being treated really well in the two-tiered justice system in America. Democrats are not going to punish their own, which is why he is walking around free."

No, they'll just join the left wing media and pile on Georgia's Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
