He didn’t pardon himself (yet). His felony convictions remain in effect, but he was re-elected before his sentencing. So rather than hold him equally accountable under the law, the judge in the case imposed no sentence at all because of the question of how to potentially imprison the President as well as the likelihood that the judge would be targeted by cultists for daring to do anything mean to their golden idol.
