Welp… that’s that.
As the entire world patiently awaited the news yesterday, and even a limo stood by patiently waited for Joe’s release, President Trump’s clemency list was handed out in the finals hours of his term, and it did NOT include Joe Exotic.
Goodbye Season 2…
The Tiger King will be forced to carry out the remainder of his sentence, at least for the foreseeable future, however notable names on the list did include rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black, former White House strategist Steve Bannon, former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and more. Other notable people not on the list included whistleblowers Edward Snowden and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Earlier in the day, the Tiger King legal team said that they were “100% confident” that Joe would be receiving a pardon.
I guess we’ll try again in four years…
