If Trump were to shut down the investigation or pardon his associates, the escape hatch, then, is for cases to be farmed out or picked up by state-level attorneys general, who cannot be shut down by Trump and who generallybut with some existing limitscan charge state crimes even after a federal pardon, explained Elie Honig, a former assistant U.S. attorney in New Jersey. If Hatch gets his way, however, a federal pardon would essentially block a subsequent state-level prosecution.
