A New Hampshire man who threatened to hang six members of Congress if they did not "get behind Donald Trump" will spend 33 months in federal prison, according to officials.

Ryder Winegar, 34, of Amherst, was sentenced for six counts of threatening members of Congress and one count of transmitting interstate threatening communications, acting U.S. Attorney John J. Farley for the District of New Hampshire announced Wednesday in a news release.

Winegar left voicemails at the offices of three U.S. senators and three representatives in the early morning hours of Dec. 16, 2020, according to court documents and court statements.

That was two days after the electoral college confirmed President Joe Biden won the election.

He identified himself by name or by his telephone number in some of the messages, according to the news release. Prosecutors said Winegar threatened to hang the officials and included specific threats of violence.

"I got some advice for you," he said in one voicemail, according to prosecutors. "Heres the advice: 'Donald Trump is your president. If you dont get behind him, were going to hang you until you die.'"

In another, Winegar said: It really, really, it boils down to two camps. You either support our president, support liberty ... or youre not." The messages included profane language that threatened to kill the lawmaker and criticized vaccinations.

Winegar refused to speak with U.S. Capitol Police officers who attempted to interview him on Dec. 20. 2020, according to the release.

The next day, before investigators could to return to Winegar with search and arrest warrants, he flew to Brazil, prosecutors said.

According to this, there has been an extradition treaty with Brazil since the 60s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_extradition_treaties

Brazil, despite its treaty with the U.S., constitutionally guarantees its citizens protection from being extradited to a foreign country in Provision 51 of its Fundamental Rights and Guarantees. The only exception to this provision is if they commit a crime and then become naturalized or if the crime involves trafficking of illegal narcotics.
Unfortunately for both fuckface and for us, he isn't a Brazilian citizen.
