Trump cannot pardon State crimes. Only Fed.
The Cohen crimes in NY will stay in NY.

The only thing changed is the AG, & all those working on the NY/Cohen, Trump cases under NYAG Schneiderman remain in place.

There is a deadline however, with the AG election, & you can be sure Trump/Cohen will stall this out until a permanent AG is seated.

They know Trump has zero pardon power in NY State, & that is key to the whole game being played there.
