John Sullivan, the suspected agent provocateur filmed allegedly instigating protesters to commit crimes and committing crimes himself while inside the Capitol Building, was arrested on Thursday and hit with a federal charge.

If Sullivan is an FBI informant or an agent provocateur as many suspect that is very likely to come out in court.

From Liberal Utah activist charged with joining Capitol riot:

A liberal activist from Utah was arrested on Thursday on federal charges that he took part in the riot at the Capitol last week.

John Sullivan, 26, founder of a protest group called Insurgence USA, was charged in a criminal complaint with one felony count of interfering with law enforcement in connection with a civil disorder, as well as misdemeanor charges of unlawful entry and disorderly conduct.

[...] FBI Special Agent Matthew Foulger said in an affidavit supporting the criminal complaint that a series of statements Sullivan made on video encouraged the lawbreaking.

Foulger said that as the crowd rushed the Capitol building, Sullivan declared: “We accomplished this shit. We did this together. Fuck yeah! We are all a part of this history,” and “Let’s burn this shit down.”

[...] The felony charge against Sullivan suggests prosecutors view his case as more serious than most of the scores of other cases filed against alleged rioters. Most who simply surged in with the crowd are charged solely with the two misdemeanors. The civil disorder charge, brought under the 1968 Anti-Riot Act, carries a maximum possible sentence of five years in prison.

Here's video of Sullivan's antics (see the full thread):

I studied video shot by Sullivan (Jayden X) in the Capitol and compiled some moments of him zealously celebrating the invasion & instigating the mob all the way up to Ashli Babbit's shooting. Watch with audio on.

Here he is provocateuring at a BLM rally last year:

BLM inc. threatening to “rip the president out of the White House”

They say they won’t wait until the next election.

They’re openly calling for a revolution.

This is domestic terrorism on full display, out in the open. They don’t even try to hide it. pic.twitter.com/OyhNSzBEwu

John Sullivan's father is a retired Air Force General and his brother is a MAGA activist who encouraged people to attend the Capitol protest to "eradicate" the Antifa/BLM movement.

This is retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Kevin J. Sullivan, the adoptive father of John and James Sullivan.

James has taken on his father's conservatism while John has apparently delved into "burn it all down" nihilism, sabotaging the cause of BLM at every turn. pic.twitter.com/Qs4yHVP96w

Many are now wondering if Jade Sacker, another ostensibly leftist journo who was seen congratulating Sullivan after entering the Capitol and working with Sullivan in the past, is going to be arrested.

Seated w/Sullivan on CNN is Jade Sacker, a photojournalist who followed him into the Capitol to film his exploits as part of a documentary project. Here she's heard congratulating him - "We did it!" - and he says, "Is this not gonna be the best film you've ever made in yr life?" pic.twitter.com/KWLVfgKPA7
