On sentencing, Axios reports that Sullivan faced multiple charges, including felony obstruction of an official proceeding and civil disorder. The 29-year-old from Salt Lake City was not only sentenced to prison but also faces 36 months of supervised release and has been ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution.
Further details of Sullivan’s actions during the riot reveal his aggressive involvement. He was equipped with a ballistic vest and gas mask as he entered the Capitol, where he was recorded yelling provocations such as “we’re about to burn this s–t down!” and “we’re f–king s–t up.” His encouragement of the mob’s destructive actions and his offer of a knife to aid in their vandalism were captured in court documents.
Video evidence from the DOJ highlighted Sullivan’s movement through the Capitol, where he was seen climbing through a broken window and reaching the Speaker’s Lobby. There, he continued to incite the crowd, urging police officers to leave and encouraging rioters as they broke glass panes in the door just before Babbitt was tragically shot.

This sentencing brings a significant chapter of the January 6 investigations to a close, highlighting the diverse backgrounds and motivations of those involved in the day’s violent events. Sullivan’s case particularly underscores the complex interplay of individuals and ideologies that contributed to the Capitol riot, challenging the narrative that the incident was solely the result of right-wing extremism.
John Sullivan. Hadn’t heard about him since right after Jan 6; he had “”disappeared”. He’d been on national news from his SLC apartment just after Jan 6, showing bits of his videos of the day, including up close video in the alcove Ashli Smith was in, showing her going to the broken door window and leaning in, looking around the room. Showed her getting shot, falling backwards onto the floor and bleeding out. No one was doing CPR or trying to stop the bleeding. I remember Sullivan saying, as he stood over her, filming, that her eyes already looked dead.
But Sullivan went talking about the whole set up, that he was one of the ANTIFA leaders, they’d been told to get on their prepaid, arranged flights to meet in DC, pick up their usual prefilled backpacks at the vans that would be parked near the Capitol, then go blend with the Trump supporters at his speech and get them to ho to the Capitol and stir them up, as he’d been told they’d be too easy going otherwise. But then he said Trump was late getting started and the ANTIFA bunch h ad to LEAVE THE SPEECH EARLY
. .. ..or they’d BE LATE for the time they were expected to show up at the Capitol to “create violence and tear things down”. It was a 6 block walk to the Capitol from the speech, 45 min with traffic and obstruction maneuvering to get there. He Saud if they were late, they’d “BE IN TROUBLE; the TIME WAS PREARRANGED”.
I found that all interesting as heJJ. He was arrested almost immediately when he hot back to his apartment and was sharing what seemed like a tell all. However, we then heard nothing more of him and I assumed it was the usual ANTIFA scenario where they were never held long.
But now he’s been sentenced to 6 yrs and they now say he was in BLM? I clearly remember his broadcast that was shown; he was an ANTIFA leader abd seemed to want to tell everything. Maybe seeing Ashli Babbitt bleeding out shook him up. And how he disappeared for over 3 yrs? I expect he had decided to do a really detailed tell all now.. .. and that couldn’t be allowed since it involved so many heavy hitters in the planning of Jan 6. Like Pelosi, Gen.Milley, Schumer, Biden handlers, etc.
Me thinks Sullivan needs to watch his back in prison. He’s too dangerous for these treasonous coup planners to have around, as he’s willing to talk. Trump lawyers should get him to testifycanout the REAL insurrection by the DEMOCRAT Crazy group, determined to take over America by keeping the fraud election result and transform America to their insidious plan for our future and the collapse of America as we know it, and make it into what their plan was. Communist Socialism and perhaps a new name of CHINA EAST.
