They have to hurry up and convict Cheney, so Bush can pardon him.

Pardons can be issued before conviction, even before any charges have been pressed (for example, Ford pardoning Nixon). But Bush can't pardon in this case because the charges are state, not federal: he can only pardon for federal offenses.
