Does that mean the law can't touch his administration or his cronies?

Pretty much, yes.
That's why there are pardon guidelines established by the Justice Department, which Bush has chosen to completely ignore.
Bush has manipulated the system so that he's basically able to violate any law he wants at will, because the people who would be holding him accountable (the DoJ and the Supreme Court) are stacked with his appointees.
The President is dead. Long live King George.

He was completely legal in his commutation of Scooter, it doesn't pass the smell test but legal. With only 18 months to go it is likely all of the bush legal issues will be tied up in court until he leaves office. Our elected officials have failed to keep this administration accountable. Where is the moral outrage that was so apparent 8 years ago, where is the special prosecutor. Oh I forgot the judiciary in now located at the RNC.

No, him and his cronies can be brought up on charges after he leaves office.
