Washington DC, according to Acting Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen , approximately 80 cases have been charged and 34 individuals have been arrested for their alleged criminal conduct during the attack on the Capitol Building. The FBI has opened approximately 200 subject case files and received about 140,000 digital media tips from the public. Notably, many of the tips are coming from friends, co-workers and other acquaintances of those allegedly involved in the attack.
The Department also launched a new online service for the public and media to track defendants charged with criminal offenses related to the Capitol attack. The link is at Investigations Regarding Violence at the Capitol (justice.gov).Following arrests, or surrender, defendants will appear before district court magistrate/judge where the arrest takes place, in accordance with the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and prosecution will be by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.
One of those arrested was Utah activist John Sullivan , who was taken into custody in Provo Friday, over a week after he shared a video of himself inside the U.S. Capitol as protesters breached security. Sullivan is the founder of Insurgence USA, an activist group formed after the killing of George Floyd in the summer of 2020. He says he voluntarily interviewed with the FBI in Washington, DC on Jan. 7. At that time Sullivan claimed he ran into the Capitol building with the others to document what was transpiring.
Last Friday Sullivan, 26, was charged in federal court with:
One count of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority
One count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds
One count of interfering with law enforcement engaged in the lawful performance of their official duties incident to and during the commission of civil disorder
The arrest document states Sullivan can be seen inside the Capitol building using a microphone as he told the crowd “we about to burn this s___ down,” “we got to rip Trump out of office… f_______ pull him out of that shit… we ain’t waiting until the next election… we are about to go get that m__________.” Does not sound like a Trump supporter to us.
While in the Capitol, Sullivan was wearing a ballistics vest and gas mask.
This comes just after the Washington Post reported “that Dozens of people on a terrorist watch list were in Washington for pro-Trump events Jan. 6th” .
Dumb ass didn’t even try to disguise himself.
Looks like a scared little doe lost in the woods.
