John Sullivan also known as Jaden X has been charged with all seven felonies he was charged with, including “Obstruction of an Official Proceeding; Civil Disorder; Entering and Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds; Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds; Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building; Parading, Demonstrating, Picketing in a Capitol Building, Aiding and Abetting and a terrorism enhancement was added for “Entering a Restricted Area with a Dangerous or Deadly Weapon.”
Just after the verdicts were read, Sullivan was taken into custody. He will remain in custody until sentencing. He is looking at a very long prison sentence and he should not expect to be coddled by Judge Royce Lambert he ripped him a new one in court. So why would they go after their ally in BLM and Antifa?
He was never violent but he did witness the murder of Ashli Babbitt and other attacks Capitol police committed against peaceful protesters.
During the trial Judge lambert frequently fell asleep, but neither prosecutors or defense attorneys made any sort of complaint about it. Lmbert is an 80-year -old former FISA judge.
This quote from Sullivan may very well explain why he was prosecuted:
“I have a problem with racists. I never had a problem Trump supporters.”
You just can’t get away with not calling Trump or his supporters as anything but racists. You go against the Marxist narrative and you must pay the price. Dmocrats never refer to The Squad as racists no matter how much they lie and smear Jews.
Sullivan captured some of the only footage of Lt. Michael Byrd killing Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt while she climbed a window in the Speakers Lobby of the Capitol building.
Prosecutors did not reference Ashli Babbitt’s name once during Sullivan’s trial and omitted footage of the bullet Lt. Byrd piercing Babbitt and the moments she bled out after falling to the ground. The government only referred to Babbitt as “the person who was shot.”
The government relied on footage Sullivan recorded himself, which he live-streamed to his followers on Discord, to make their case against him to jurors.
Sullivan took the stand and testified for over seven hours.
He maintained that he was present in the Capitol building only as a photojournalist, “with a tripod and a camera” to record history.
“The world knows what happened that day because of John’s videos,” Sullivan’s attorney Steven Kiersh argued.
For hours, the government exhibited photographs and videos of Sullivan prior to January 6 in which he is seen holding firearms and protective gear.
In Sullivan’s defense, Kiersh noted Utah’s firearm laws permit open carry.
Immediately after the jury announced the verdict on Thursday afternoon, Sullivan was taken into federal custody.
Sullivan, his mother, and this reporter sat in the cafeteria of the federal courthouse as the jury deliberated. Sullivan agreed to conduct a video interview with The Gateway Pundit after the trial. None of us suspected he would be detained moments later.
Stunned and stoic, as her son was hauled away, Sullivan’s mom held back tears and explained, “I didn’t give him his glasses… I didn’t even get a moment to give him a hug goodbye.”
