2/ The FBI alleged that moments before breaching the Capitol's security John Sullivan told a crowd of disguised counter-protesters, "we about to burn this shit down, we got to rip Trump out of office, fucking pull him out of that shit, we ain't waiting until the next election...
3/ "...we about to go get that mother fucker, it is time for a revolution."

Shortly afterward Sullivan could be heard goading Ashli Babbitt to jump through a window as he filmed her being shot and killed by law enforcement.
4/ According to the FBI Sullivan was charged with rioting and criminal mischief during a BLM riot in July in which another civilian was shot and injured. The case is still pending.
5/ Despite Sullivan's claims to the contrary the video footage he provided to the FBI showed that he was clearly inciting the protesters exclaiming, "Let's go! This shit is ours! Fuck yeah! We accomplished this shit! We did this together! Fuck yeah! Let's burn this shit down!
6/ According to the FBI the video also shows Sullivan helping protesters climb the wall.
7/ Once inside the Capitol, according to the FBI, Sullivan could be heard encouraging the protesters suggesting, "We gotta get this shit burned! It’s our house motherfuckers! We are getting this shit.”
8/ Throughout the video Sullivan confronts officers calling for them to stand down.
9/ At another point Sullivan breaks into a congressional office and states, “We did this shit. We took this shit.” and then proceed to break a window and later apologizing for breaking it but suggesting that it was okay because no one caught it on camera.

10/ Next a crowd of protesters and Sullivan approach another locked door protected by law enforcement and Sullivan tells the protesters he has a knife but the protesters ignore him.
11/ Over and over Sullivan encouraged protesters to break into new areas of the building and attack officers. Saying things like, "Why don't we go in there? That's what I'm saying, break that shit. It would fire if someone had revolutionary music and shit."
12/ Sullivan convinced the only officer standing between him and the protesters to leave his post ultimately resulting the shooting of an airforce veteran climbing through the side window.
13/ Good work FBI SPECIAL AGENT MATTHEW B. FOULGER! https://www.justice.gov/opa/page/file/1354781/download
