Breaking: BLM Activist John Sullivan ‘Jayden X’ Found Guilty on All Seven Counts for his Actions on January 6, 2021
J6 defendant John Sullivan was found guilty on all seven counts for his actions on January 6, 2021.
Sullivan captured some of the only footage of Lt. Michael Byrd killing Ashli Babbitt while she climbed a window in the Speakers Lobby of the Capitol building.
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.
VERDICT: John Earle Sullivan, of Utah, found GUILTY on all counts, including dangerous weapon enhancement.

On January 14, 2021, footage Sullivan lived streamed on his Discord server while walking with the crowd through the Capitol building on January 6 went viral.
Hours later, the FBI raided Sulivan’s home, confiscating his belongings.
After turning himself into the the FBI, he was released after spending one night in prison and prohibited from leaving the state of Utah.
Conspiracies surrounding Sullivan’s leadership position with Antifa and Black Lives Matter groups, including claims made by Sullivan’s brother James, were proven to be baseless and were unsubstantiated during the five-day trial.
Sullivan was not passing out Trump hats prior to the riot, or medal rods, as his brother James claimed, nor did Sullivan periodically leave the country or work in Ukraine.
Sullivan also wore a black cap the entire day on January 6; he did not switch hats to disguise himself as a Trump supporter during the protest as was previously reported.
And the government did him no favors throughout his trial.
Sullivan, his mother, and this reporter sat in the cafeteria of the federal courthouse as the jury deliberated the verdict. No one expected that he would be taken into custody immediately after the jury announced the verdict.
The government exhibited photographs of Sullivan dressed in protective gear and the riot gear he sold on his website Insurgence USA.
Sullivan maintained on the stand that images posted on his social media accounts like the one below ahead of January 6 to promote his live stream of the event, not to actually meet with Antifa ahead of the Capitol riot.
