Please enlighten me if I am wrong, but the President can only pardon those who commit federal crimes. Crimes which New York would not have jurisdiction over unless they had a statute of their own. So this would be a nothing burger, except for the obvious messaging they are trying to send.
For example. Let's say someone gets hemmed up by the feds for tax evasion. They are prosecuted and convicted, but the President pardons them. New York would have jurisdiction for any STATE Taxes evaded by the same individual, both before and after the pardon, but not the federal taxes. They'd have to do their own prosecution.
So... nothing changes.

Capt Gregory Prickett - I wonder what political reality in the past prompted them to pass such a law taking them out of alignment with the other states in the past.
I might do a little research on that. It might be interesting.
