Tiger King Joe Exotic fails to nab Trump pardon - CNET

President Donald Trump issued pardons for numerous people on his last day in office; however, the list does not include the Oklahoma man known to many as “Joe Exotic.”Advertisement

Joseph Maldonado-Passage was convicted and sentenced to 22 years in prison for a murder-for-hire plot and for violating wildlife laws. The leader of Maldonado-Passage’s legal team told sister station KOCO on Monday that they were extremely confident about getting a presidential pardon sometime Tuesday and that the Netflix sensation remains positive.

They also had a limo ready to pick up Maldonado-Passage from the prison he’s at in Fort Worth, Texas, and take him to a secure location.

President Trump pardoned former chief strategist Steve Bannon as part of a flurry of clemency action in the final hours of his White House term that benefited more than 140 people, including rap performers, ex-members of Congress and other allies of him and his family.

Moved to the Big Tomata in the nineties from San Francisco. No Suburbs for me with its single colored houses and lawns and the excitement of pulling out my trash can once a week. I'm a CityFella , a part time New Yorker. I'm happiest in the Center City where people the streets and people are alive. I'm still waiting to buy a 34th floor condo somewhere downtown/Midtown with a nightclub. "Hurry I'm old" My politics are somewhere in the middle with a needle that constantly moves. I'm too liberal to be a Republican and too conservative to be a Democrat. Everything interests me . I've come to love Sacratomato, Its a nice town in cheap sensible shoes .
