48-year-old Evan Neumann of California, aka the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrectionist who fled to Belarus last year to escape the FBI, has been granted asylum in the eastern European country, according to Belarusian state-owned news agency BELTA.
He could have put his big boy pants on and faced justice. He would have been free in a few months and gotten on with his life. Now he is a fugitive who can never set foot in the US nor any country with whom the US has an extradition treaty. Enjoy rotting in a 3rd world dictatorship loser.
ETA “free in a few years” h/t txlawyer
But of course. Anti-American insurrectionist flees to Putin’s puppet regime for protection after taking part in a failed coup attempt to overthrow the duly elected government of the United States.
Maybe he can go hang out with Snowden.
Please, Belarus, Please offer Trump asylum. And MTG, Josh Hawley, Boebert, Jordan, Johnson, Rubio, Moscow Mitch, …, maybe a blanket offer for all of the GOP (Grand Old Putin party), the MAGATS (Trump Supporters!)
No, he’s charged with felonies that would draw multiple years in prison after conviction.
Enjoy all the freedom and liberty you’ll certainly find in Belarus, asshole.
Speaking of willful collaborators and traitors in sedition.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) blames Ukraine for being invaded: "You see Ukraine just kept poking the bear, poking the bear, which is Russia, and Russia invaded. And the hard truth is ... there is no win for Ukraine here. Russia is being very successful in their invasion." pic.twitter.com/RVHeMzSJ2F

Maybe they can all charter a flight to get there together. Maybe a Chinese Airline?
I hope he’s conscripted and shoved in a tank and sent to fight in Ukraine.
I mean, it’s obvious he likes fighting.
I’m sure he can just say no if they ask him to do something and he doesn’t feel like it. Totalitarians are much more easygoing than their enemies would have you believe.
That’s a pretty fair declaration of loyalty.
Buy 'em all a one way ticket.
Belarus deserves this a$$hole. And he deserves Belarus.
Perfect. Hey, Republicans: don’t like America?
Move to Russia!
Can we group fund a charter of a couple 747’s to transport the rest of the J6 seditionists to their new motherland?
And maybe instead of marketing Idaho real estate to the deplorables, how about Belarus?
So noted and updated
The perfectly red state.
On the one hand, I want the man to face justice.
On the other hand, Belarus, this one: I promise you can have him.
Yet another so-called “patriot” running off like a frightened bitch when it’s time to pay the consequences. I bet this lily white cunt spent his whole life complaining that “those people” weren’t “American.” Okay asshat, let’s see how you like an authoritarian regime and you live another 50 years under that yoke.
I could be wrong, but I would bet dollars for donuts that he would have been allowed to plea down the charges and he would have spent a few months in jail if he had stayed to face the music. The Jan. 6 defendants have been treated with a leniency that I find shocking given that there were multiple assaults on Capitol Police, destruction of (sacred) US Gov’t property, and, in general, a violent attempt to overthrow our system of government.
I keep reading where the army of Belarus is getting ready to join the Russians in their war crimes in Ukraine. He should join up and fight with them if he is so set on destroying Democracy. It’s just a logical extension. Be a hero asshole.
