TPM - By Matt Shuham | January 22, 2021
Alleged Capitol Rioter Gave Himself Away By Repeatedly Yelling ‘Trump 2020’ On Plane

Alleged Capitol rioter John Lolos might have gotten away with it — if only he hadn’t been kicked off of his flight out of D.C. for yelling “Trump 2020!” then caught the eye of a police officer who recognized him from Instagram.


Lolos very nearly executed the perfect crime, but his undying and obnoxious love for then-President Donald Trump would spell his downfall, according to a Capitol Police officer’s affidavit unsealed in the District of Columbia.

Two days after the riot, Lolos was aboard a Delta flight on the tarmac of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, according to the affidavit.

Really, you gotta read the whole thing yourself. It's a twisted procedural tale of dogged pursuit by Johnny Law and a master criminal determined to evade the long arm of justice. Unfortunately for our modern Professor Moriarty, that long arm was holding a cellphone that had instagram installed.

no one would have believed them.

And, here we are!

4. We have to be careful.

Every time we say, "Surely, they can't be THAT stupid!" they take it as a challenge to prove us wrong.

5. Very good point!
