John Earle Sullivan aka InsurgenceUSA aka JayDenX aka Activist John aka you went on InfoWars...
Not only did you repeatedly violate your conditions of release but you then sent an email on the day of your FEB 1st hearing? NBC paid you $35,000 AFTER you were charged? I’m in the wrong line of work
As previously noted in my recent article: Brothers that Insurrect Together get Charged Together
Defendant John Earle Sullivan…
Near the conclusion of my article I causally mentioned the curious case of John Earle Sullivan. Defendant Sullivan was one of the first to be charged post the January 6, 2021 Insurrection. He was released from Federal Custody shortly after he made his initial appearance before Magistrate Judge Daphne A. Oberg. And Defendant Sullivan has been a very naughty defendant, repeatedly violating his conditions of release.
If you recall the JOHN EARLE SULLIVAN aka JayDenX YouTube user and the various threads, he was not a reporter. Criminal Complaint, Affidavit ECF/PACER or via my public drive.
I want you to see how I research things and the amount of time I spend vetting and cross referencing and then double checking. If you are a researcher then showing others your “homework” and methodology should be a prerequisite…
Relevant Court Filings for Utah MJ Case:
You prerequisite court filings as to Sullivan’s MJ case in the District Court of Utah, Case No: 2:21-mj-00014 - Arrest (Rule 5) of John Earle Sullivan Warrant out of the USDC District of Columbia. Assigned to Magistrate Judge Daphne A. Oberg.
Complaint Pursuant to Rule 5 ECF/PACER or via my public drive.
Attachment #1 Affidavit ECF/PACER - highlighted and annotated Affidavit via my public drive.
Attachment #2 Order (Sealing Complaint) ECF/PACER
Attachment #3 Arrest Warrant ECF/PACER or via my public drive (yes court filings are public information, but out of an abundance of caution I heavily redacted the PII in Sullivan’s warrant, because doxing is criminal and I have a deep red line).
ORDER Setting Conditions of Release as to John Earle Sullivan, ECF/PACER or via my public drive
As a threshold matter, Courts are limited under which statutes that they can detain a defendant. Simply put during the onset of this case, the Government failed to establish (as a threshold matter) that this case met the preconditions in §3142(f) for holding a detention hearing. Thus the court was required to release Defendant Sullivan. RELEASE ORDER ECF/PACER or via my public drive
On January 27, 2021 the Government filed a PETITION and ORDER (ECF/PACER) for alleged violation of Pretrial Release, as to Defendant John Earle Sullivan. Pretrial Release Violation/Preliminary Revocation Hearing set for 2/23/2021 at 09:00 AM before Magistrate Judge Daphne A. Oberg.
The Government by way of Defendant Sullivan’s probation officer informed the Court, that almost immediately upon release Sullivan violated the Terms and Conditions of his release. Specifically repeated violations of “limited access to the internet” as further defined in Appendix A. You can read the Government’s January 27th filing here.
February 1, 2021 Magistrate Judge Daphne A. Oberg, essentially punted or dare I say demurred on the January 27, 2021 Government Filing alleging that Defendant Sullivan repeatedly violated the conditions of his release. In short the Utah Federal Magistrate Judge stated that the DDC Court should rule on the merits of the Government’s Motion ,See text of the February 1, 2021 Minute Entry on the docket. On February 3, 2021 the Utah MJ case was closed as it was now transfer to the District Court in the District of Columbia.
Well talk about prescient… Jan 11th
-pay attention to the last 8 seconds of this video - it is interesting that the Government continues to use his videos in affidavits yet they also oddly fail to disclose that Sullivan continues to upload videos - it is unclear if YouTube is on the list of his stringent pre-trial release conditions. My assumption is that it is because the Ts & Cs of his release explicitly state he is to have zero association with Insurgence USA. Furthering the day Sullivan was released from Federal Custody he then uploaded an hour plus long stream.
Defendant Sullivan’s DDC MJ case No: 1:21-mj-00050
On February 4, 2021 the Government filed a MEMORANDUM in Support of Pretrial Detention by USA as to JOHN EARLE SULLIVAN1 via ECF/PACER (or via my public drive), the motion reads in part (and relevant here)
His conditions of release included home detention; that the defendant “find new employment” and “no longer work for Insurgence USA”; that he be “monitored by the form of location monitoring technology, at the discretion of the pretrial services officer, and abide by all technology and program requirements”; and that he “participate in the United States Probation and Pretrial Services Office Computer and Internet Monitoring Program.” Emphasis Added
The Twitter Suspension Hat-Trick:
I now refer you to page 9 of the Government’s Memo, Defendant Sullivan was expressly prohibited from accessing Twitter, and the three known Twitter accounts, yet on January 17, 18, 19 and 26, 2021, respectively Defendant Sullivan logged into his three twitter Accounts
@insurgenceusa (now suspended but aren’t you glad that on January 16, 2021 I archived his entire account, found here
@realjaydenx (also now suspended and again aren’t you glad that I archived his account on January 10th here and again on January 15th, found here and then I archived it on January 18th, found here at which time Twitter suspended my account) this is exactly why when I was on Twitter I would take the time to archive accounts before doing a thread of the criminal complaint and/or indictment.
@activistjohn (again also now suspended and yet again aren’t you glad that I archived his account on January 15, 2021, found here)
The violations are not limited to Sullivan logging into his Twitter accounts, which he did almost immediately upon being released but did so over the course of several days.
‘“…defendant’s purchase of an Internet-capable phone in direct contravention of his supervision officer’s instructions, and apparent attempt to seek out alternatives to Facebook – another prohibited platform – on the Internet….”
…and last but certainly not the least on January 26, 2021 Defendant Sullivan’s appearance on “Infowars”- the Government correctly notes that during the February 1, 2021 hearing Magistrate Judge Daphne A. Oberg expressed “serious concerns” about Defendant Sullivan’s violations of the conditions of release, but with the DDC hearing just a few short days later, decided to let the DDC Judge address the violations.
And to add more to the unsustainable “conditions of release” the Government disclosed that on the morning of the February 1, 2021 hearing Defendant Sullivan using the InsurgenceUSA email address (remember Sullivan was ordered by the Court that he could no longer have contact or conduct with InsurgenceUSA) he sent the following email;
Defendant Sullivan’s DDC Criminal Case NoL 1:21-cr-00078-EGS
As previously explained (found here) once an Indictment is handed down, the MJ cases are terminated and/or merged with “CR” cases. And here we are, February 3, 2021 a Grand Jury empaneled in the District of Columbia handed down a six count Indictment (ECF/PACER) as to Defendant Sullivan;
Obstruction of an Official Proceeding; Civil Disorder; Entering and Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds; Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building or Grounds; Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building; Parading, Demonstrating, o rPicketing in a Capitol Building; Aiding and Abetting… You can pull Defendant Sullivan’s Indictment down from my public drive
On February 15, 2021 Defendant Sullivan via Counsel filed, a Notice of filing of initial discovery requests …ECF/PACER a cursory review there isn’t anything that stands out, meaning the notice/request is pretty standard fare. You can pull down the filing from my public drive
Also on February 15, 2021 Memorandum Concerning Limitations on Conditions of Pretrial Release by JOHN EARLE SULLIVAN - did he really argue a “prior restraint” argument - yes he sure did and I laughed and laughed and then began snort laughing. Oh for the love of Cheesus FOLLOW YOUR LOCAL RULES on formatting (12 point font- that is basic court “stuff” and I’m not even an attorney - even I know the basic “always know & follow the local rules)
Aww that’s special you suddenly and strenuously object “after the fact” for Pete’s sake that’s not how this works and the revisionist history by Sullivan’s new counsel is predictably pedestrian. Do better because this brief is unavailing.
Well isn’t that interesting Sullivan has a contract with: Contract with; Australian Broadcasting; Left/Right, LLC; Agreement to release video footage with Rocky Mountain Public Media; and License Agreement with CNN… here I uploaded the “memorandum concerning release conditions” to my public drive
On February 16, 2021 Defendant Sullivan filed; Exhibits for previously filed Memorandum Regarding Conditions of Pretrial Release by JOHN EARLE SULLIVAN ECF/PACER Clearly I’m in the wrong line of work - NBC paid him $35,000 after he was criminally charged - I uploaded the exhibit, found here
So John, let me get this straight. You encouraged the insurrectionist. You filmed yourself and others committing numerous crimes. And then you sold your crime-videos to numerous mainstream media outlets. The Government is going to seize the tainted largesse. Welcome to asset forfeiture and/or seizing.
Also because I spent a significant amount of time researching for my Twitter threads I had actually pulled dozens of videos and archived them in anticipation that YouTube would suspend his account. Oddly YouTube has yet to suspend his account. Here’s a link to a playlist on my YouTube channel, a majority of the videos are referenced in the Government’s various court filings. And I’m in the process of uploading additional videos.
For now you should be fully up to date on Sullivan’s case and now you have an article that contains all relevant court filings… -Filey
The DDC MJ case was terminated once the February 3rd Six Count Indictment, which was handed down from the Grand Jury in DC.
FWIW - the Government’s Motion to Detain will likely be front and center in today’s hearing - which is scheduled to start <2 hours from now 👇🏻
