      Not a federal crime or prison. Either the governor would have to pardon him, or he would have to get his appeal all the way to SCOTUS and get his conviction overturned. Neither of which seem very likely, unfortunately.

      He literally does not have the legal power to do that.

      Biden has pardoned a lot of federal marijuana charges, but a core part of the Constitution is that the federal government’s authority to interfere in state justice systems is very limited.
