The United States obtained a video of SULLIVAN, posted on YouTube, in which,
while attending a protest in Washington, D.C., SULLIVAN can be seen telling a crowd, over a microphone, “We about to burn this sh-t down,” “we got to rip Trump out of office . . . f--king pull him out of that sh-t . . . we ain’t waiting until the next election . . . we about to go get that motherf--ker.” SULLIVAN then can be seen leading the crowd in a chant of “It’s time for a revolution!”
. . .
After the crowd broke through the last barricade, and as SULLIVAN and the
others approach the Capitol Building, SULLIVAN can be heard in the video saying
at various points: “There are so many people. Let’s go. This sh-t is ours! F--k, yeah!” “We accomplished this sh-t. We did this together. F--k yeah! We are all a part of this history,” and “Let’s burn this sh-t down.”
. . .
At various times in his statements to law enforcement, to others inside the U.S.
Capitol that were recorded in his video, and to news outlets, SULLIVAN has claimed he was at the U.S. Capitol only to document and report. In addition, your affiant is aware that, at various times, SULLIVAN has claimed to be a journalist. He has admitted, however, that he has no press credentials and the investigation has not revealed any connection between SULLIVAN and any journalistic organizations.
