If the State Governor is a Republican then presumably he may be minded to pardon.

If not, can the federal government put pressure on the state like they have in the past on drinking age and speed limits ? Could the federal government threaten to pull some funding for a state unless a pardon was forthcoming ?

In Virginia, it is Ralph Northam, in New York it's Cuomo, in Connecticut it is Dannel Malloy, in New Jersey it Phil Murphy...All are Democrats.

Actually, I don't think Trump has ever had a friend. He has people he gets money from, and people who get money from him.

Being a "friend" mean being on an equal footing with respect and caring going both ways. Trump doesn't think anyone is his equal and doesn't care about anyone but himself. That's what narcissists are. What Trump has are people he can use and who use him and his sycophants. Some of the latter are speaking to Pompeo right now.

I've said elsewhere that he has temporary allies. Which I think is possibly what will do for him. I'm sure anyone who has worked with him, even his allies would enjoy seeing him humiliated if it didn't cost them politically.

As soon as he becomes more of a liability than a benefit, they'll desert him. There is not going to be any residual loyalty to a loved but flawed leader.

Every Republican is not acting to pardon criminals like Trump is.

Trump Tweets

"What kind of a lawyer would tape a client? So sad! Is this a first, never heard of it before? Why was the tape so abruptly terminated (cut) while I was presumably saying positive things? I hear there are other clients and many reporters that are taped - can this be so? Too bad!"

The man whose mentor was Roy "Tape you clients" Cohn never heard of this before?
 
Cohen worked for Trump like forever - if he didn't realize that his attorney would do something like this, he's a terrible judge of character.
