    ... has no authority to pardon (or grant any other form of clemency for) a State offense.  That power lies in the hands of each state's Governor.

    even if his crimes ever fully came to light Obama would pardon him...no doubt in my mind.  

    And if I'm wrong there is always the compound in Paraguay.
