I’m going to get this guy out of prison!
Eric Love mentions he afterward wrote Joe and said:
I am a retired cop, a philanthropist in Fort Worth, and I am a private investigator. I can assemble a team of attorneys, and I think I have a great shot of getting you out of prison on a presidential pardon.

Eric I desperately need your help. You’ll be hearing from my power of attorney.
