Joe Exotic is reportedly confident that he will get pardoned by President Biden in the following weeks or months.
As the former animal trainer, who is serving a 22-year prison sentence over his plot to kill his rival Carole Baskin, allegedly expressed in his email to his colleagues, he hopes to receive a pardon following Biden’s inauguration.
According to TMZ, the jailed Tiger King star is hopeful about a potential pardon because he believes that Vice President Kamala Harris will “help clean up the corruption in the DOJ and other agencies.”
Joe’s fresh expectations come after the animal trainer lashed out at Trump for not pardoning him during his last few weeks in the office.
“I was too innocent and too GAY to deserve a Pardon from Trump. I only mattered to Don Jr. when he needed to make a comment about me to boost his social media post,” he wrote in a tweet on January 20.
“Boy were we all stupid to believe he actually stood for Equal Justice? His corrupt friends all come first.”
While Joe isn’t happy about his pleas for a pardon getting ignored by the former POTUS, Baskin admitted feeling relieved that the man who was found guilty of plotting a murder-for-hire remains behind bars.
“I’m taking a deep breath because I feel such a sense of relief. From the very time that he was sentenced I have worried about there being a presidential pardon that could undo all of the hard work that went into bringing this person to justice,” she said.
“When today at noon a new president was sworn in, I felt like I was finally safe from that threat.”
