Correct. A president cannot issue pardons for state crimes.I'm certain that no matter how many times it is linked, there are those who simply will not read it which is too bad because they might actually gain some knowledge.
Question regarding pardons: If Georgia brings forth an idictment based upon the election interferance he attempted (we have recordings of this brazen attempt) in that state trying to illegaly convince them to "find him the number of votes required to win" ... I'm pretty certain he can't pardon himself for State crimes he may be convicted (possibly jailed) for if convicted. True?
However, Georgia has a Board of Pardons and Paroles that can issue a pardon in the state, fwiw.
