No. The pardon power is for "crimes against the US," which I believe has been interpreted only as federal offenses. Right,

Mueller is no dummy. It wouldn't shock me if he was sending all info about financial crimes every day to several AGs

So what if he loses 5th amendment protection and still refuses to testify or just commits perjury? Then gets pardoned from that?
