Presidential Pardons are explicitly for Federal Crimes only.

Assuming some of chimpy's criminal pals will get a pardon, perhaps even a blanket pardon in the next 24 hours, are their any state crimes that they could be charged with?

1. Read Bugliosi's book. He says Bushco is

guilty of murder in every state in the union because of their lies to take us into an illegal war. Every servicemen who has been killed in Iraq he considers a murder. According to him they are all state crimes.

2. Federal convictions only

Under the Constitution, only federal criminal convictions, such as those obtained in the United States District Courts, may be pardoned by the President. In addition, the President's pardon power extends to convictions obtained in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia and military court-martial proceedings. However, the President cannot pardon a state criminal offense. Accordingly, if you are seeking clemency for a state criminal conviction, you should not complete and submit this petition. Instead, you should contact the Governor or other appropriate authorities of the state where you reside or where the conviction occurred (such as the state board of pardons and paroles) to determine whether any relief is available to you under state law. If you have a federal conviction, information about the conviction may be obtained from the clerk of the federal court where you were convicted.
