If he pardons Cohen now, New York State will prosecute him. So too early. But New York law does not allow the state to prosecute someone who has already been tried at the federal level. So Trump has to wait at least for the trial to start. But by that time, a lot of evidence will already be public. So it's too late.

Mueller has convictions and confessions.
