irrelevant since he cant pardon anyone while he himself is in prison and disqualified from holding any office

The constitutional qualifications for being president are being a natural-born U.S. citizen, a resident for at least 14 years and over the age of 35. A person can be disqualified by conviction in a Senate impeachment trial, but a criminal conviction does not affect eligibility.

He can become president again even if he's in prison. And then he can pardon anyone including himself.
