Joe Exotic, with limo waiting outside prison, fails to get Trump pardon
“Tiger King” star Joe Exotic failed to win a pardon from President Donald Trump — even though the jailbird’s legal team was so “confident” in one, they had a limo ready to whisk him away.
Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage, was not on the list of the more than 100 pardons and commutations that Trump issued early Wednesday.
“It is the President’s Constitutional right to Pardon and we have to accept and respect his use of discretion. Our mission is just and continues,” Exotic’s lawyer, Francisco Hernandez, wrote on Facebook.
Eric Love, who spearheaded Exotic’s bid for freedom, had been optimistic earlier about Exotic’s prospects of being released from Fort Worth’s Federal Medical Center.
“We’re confident enough we already have a limousine parked about half a mile from the prison. We are really in action mode right now,” he told Metro.co.uk.
His team had also brought professionals for hair, makeup and wardrobe in the event of his release — and pre-recorded a thank-you video for Trump.
“We have it queued up and ready to go,” Love told Metro. “As soon as we get the word, we’re going to execute that video to the White House and thank them.”
Exotic has served a year of his 22-year sentence for his role in a murder-for-hire plot that targeted his rival, Carole Baskin.
Trump previously said he would “take a look” at the pardon request.
A lawyer for Exotic didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
I would guess that Joe's 'contribution' to 'the cause' wasn't sufficient...

I would imagine that if 'money' was exchanged it will come out or if money was mentioned to enable the pardon. Right now all of that is conjecture. I guess we'll have to wait on that.

But we can't mention the monies taken for pardons by past admins.

Sure you can..

I think you two need to start posting in the 'answer with a question' thread...

Incredible.
Did you see the thread title? Did you comprehend what you read? I was talking about Joe Exotic.
But since you brought it up. Referencing the Arena, how many times have you bashed Obama and his administration after he was no long POTUS?

Sorry Conrad, I thought your post, saying "defending our previous POTUS?" was referencing President Trump.
I can see now that you meant Joe Exotic.

No comment on your blasting of Obama in the Arena eh? Color me surprised.

He apologized concerning your comment about this thread. I'd take it.

Conrad, why would you want me to comment ... in this thread ... about my history of comments in the arena, about one of our former presidents?
So this thread can get moved to the arena too?
Do you have a problem with staying on topic in threads without getting into politics?
Seems to me like you might. :-X

I'll accept this 'apology' in the same spirit that it was given.
