[American Greatness] A federal jury in the District of Columbia decided Thursday that left-wing agitator John Earle Sullivan

didn’t just document the January 6 Capitol Riot—he was a participant, Fox 13 reported.
The jury convicted Sullivan, 29, of five felonies and two misdemeanor charges related to his conduct during the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol. He was found guilty of the following felonious offenses: "obstructing an official proceeding, obstructing officers during a civil disorder, entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a dangerous weapon, disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds with a dangerous weapon, and unlawful possession of a dangerous weapon on Capitol grounds or buildings."
Additionally, Sullivan was convicted of two misdemeanors: "disorderly conduct in a Capitol building and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building."
The weapons charges relate to a knife he allegedly brought into the Capitol. Other January 6 defendants have been sentenced to years in prison for similar charges.
Unlike many Trump supporters, Sullivan did not have to wait for his day in court from jail. However, U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth ordered that he be held in custody while he awaits sentencing.
Sullivan was initially booked into custody in Tooele County, Utah under a U.S. Marshall’s warrant on January 14, 2021, after his brother James, a Trump supporter, sent tips to the Salt Lake City FBI. James Sullivan told Fox-13 that he believed his brother John was not only involved with the deadly riot on Jan. 6, he was "somehow in charge."
