He can’t pardon them, but he can probably just ignore whatever punishment is given and he’ll say he has presidential immunity (regardless of whether it fits, that’s the idea he’ll have). Then, if he becomes a sitting president, nobody will actually do anything to enforce the judgement against him and it’ll just be ignored, making presidential immunity to even state crimes a practical reality, even if it’s not a legal reality.
If he was sentenced before the election the Supreme Court nullifies it and you have the same result.
Do all that you can to make sure he doesn’t get elected.
If trump gets elected he’ll just pardon himself or whatever machinations transpire where he won’t be sentenced at all.
He can’t do that. These are state crimes.
He has no authority to pardon non-federal crimes.
