AFAIK, the POTUS cannot pardon state crime, only federal.............
That’s my understanding as well.
Correct if this is wrong, but seems he was convicted upon federal prosecution of the federal crime of lying on a federal form that asks if you are addicted to illegal drugs before purchasing a gun and he checked NO. It was a federal prosecutor named David Weiss who had the case because to lie on the federal form is a federal crime.

YOU ARE CORRECT.
NEED GOVERNOR TO PARDON STATE CRIME.
