“Now, I don’t even know exactly what he was charged with… I watched the show, but it was like, I don’t know exactly what he was guilty of or wasn’t. It doesn’t seem like he was totally innocent of anything. But when they’re saying, ‘We’re putting this guy away for 30 years,' I’m saying that seems sort of aggressive,” Trump Jr. said.

Trump then explained that some prisons are releasing criminals because of coronavirus concerns and admitted that “Tiger King” makes it appear that Baskin possibly killed her first husband. But the president’s son had another takeaway from the documentary.

He’s asking for a presidential pardon,” Roberts said.

Trump Jr. asked, “I have heard that, is that true? You guys really want it to be true, don’t you?”

Norton and Roberts said that it “sounds true” before telling Trump Jr. how he could make it happen.

Roberts told him directly, “I feel you, Don, Jr., can go in, make a meeting with your dad and go, 'Look, I know we’re all dealing with corona and there’s a lot going on right now, but at the same time, maybe a presidential pardon for poor Joe Exotic who’s in there?‘”

“Maybe not right now, but I can generally be for this just for the meme,” Trump Jr. said. “And just for frankly watching the media reaction to this thing. It would be pretty amazing to ultimately see that.”

Update _________

Trump Sr. talks looking into it

quote:

On Wednesday, when a reporter mentioned that one of the president's sons joked about lobbying Trump to pardon the zookeeper, Trump replied: "Which son? Must be Don — what did he do?"

Donald Trump Jr. seemed to find the exchange between his dad and the reporter "hilarious."
But the president said he wasn't well versed on Joe Exotic's conviction, saying: "I know nothing about it. He has 22 years, for what? What did he do?"
The president then asked the reporter and others in the room if they thought Joe Exotic should be pardoned.

"Are you on his side? Are you recommending a pardon?" he asked. "I'll take a look."

It’s worth revisiting to see if he was set up by the bandana head guy, but a pardon would be ridiculous.

Doesn’t know what he was charged with? How much rent does he pay to live under that rock?

I watched the docuseries


Joe E was set up

And even if he did pay for it to happen, it never actually did.

He deserved some time for the tiger killings, but dying in jail for a murder that never happened seems absurd

You all understand that this guy is a criminal who is perpetually on drugs while harboring exotic animals, correct?

According to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Oklahoma, Joe Exotic was found guilty of two counts of murder-for-hire, eight counts of violating the Lacey Act for falsifying wildlife records and nine counts of violating the Endangered Species Act.


If Trump wants to reduce the murder for hire conviction, then that's his choice.

Reducing or exonerating him from the animal cruelty charges would be crazy, especially with many of his former employees willing to testify against him.

Joe should be doing 7 years max. 5 with good behavior and a fine.
