Beyond a legally dubious self-pardon, Trump had no authority to directly subvert a criminal prosecution. That had to be done by Barr and/or DOJ officials. If Barr doesn't go to prison it means the entire DOJ is open for business when it comes to politically influencing criminal prosecutions. That's an extremely dangerous precedent for this country.
