Neumann, 48, was charged on six different counts last July, including violent entry and assaulting police officers. But he was already in the wind, having reportedly sold his house and absconded first to Ukraine, and then Belarus last August.
In November, he turned up on Belarusian state TV begging for political asylum and telling a wild story about how he had navigated swamps and quicksandas well as snakes and wild boarto make it into the promised land that (according to him) is Belarus.
In a segment that began by claiming that Neumann had just tried to make America great again, the fugitive rioter said he had gone to the Capitol that day for the sake of his children.

Not saying they wouldn't have existed because of the obvious, but I'm saying they got a lot of help via infiltrators and sleepers
that's how I'm looking at all these white terrorists.
This story doesn't surprise me, in fact I was surprised we haven't heard more similar stories. well sort of surprised, but then not really something that's going to be reported out cuz that would be a really tough reality to deal with.

And if Belarus fights for Russia, they'll probably send him to the front.
Sounds like a win-win scenario for us.
