The President can't grant pardons in state proceedings. Only for federal crimes.

Yes. That is the current law.

Given Trump's history, I will not be surprised if he chooses to ignore that law and issue a pardon, forcing the issue into the courts. Once in the courts, he will not stop with appeals until he gets a favorable ruling or is denied by the USSC.

The first step in dismantling the rule of law would be to stop following the law and court orders. As has been noted often recently, the USSC lacks a police force or an army to enforce its orders.
