I don’t think any Democrat is pardoning Trump, if they don’t then it’s up to the jury and the judges whether he goes to jail. The cases have been filed.
Maybe SCOTUS can rule him immune for the Georgia election interference case but it can’t be pardoned.
The Hush Money case he’s already guilty and just awaiting sentencing in September.
The stolen classified documents case he wasn’t president for that so he won’t get SCOTUS, only thing that could be done is a pardon or a failure to continue the prosecution but the appeal of Aileen Cannon’s ruling is happening in this administration.
The federal interest is that they said the US president is constitutionally immune from prosecution for performing his Constitutional duties. If a state prosecutes a president for performing his Constitutional duties, they have violated the US Constitution and SCOTUS is who has the final decision on that.
Think of how SCOTUS decision Roe V Wade said there was a Constitutional right of bodily autonomy, and when states passed abortion bans when Roe was the law of the land the laws just didn’t take effect, and the states could not arrest doctors for performing abortions. States can’t violate the US Constitution.
(In this instance arguing the election interference was Constitutionally protected would be a huge stretch I’m not saying he WILL get off on those charges but if SCOTUS wanted to they could make it so)
They don’t have to. The DOJ can simply drop the charges.

He’s going to get a smallish fine and that’ll be that.

The prosecutors will drop the case as soon as the election is over. These are only tools to tarnish his popularity. There’s no serious desire to see a former President locked up.

They could absolve state charges? Georgia is a state law that was broken.

Didn’t know I was replying to Nostradamus guess I lose.
I have a dream," that all guilty people rich or poor, would face an equal consequences for their actions." So I have that desire.
I’m not holding my breath
