OP
Since being convicted doesn't invalidate anything he's done, there would be no legal case to argue

That does not seem like a legal or appropriate time to hand out pardons?
It seems to me there would be a legal case to argue in court?

And it won't invalidate anything else he's done, either.

Once granted, a pardon is irreversible.
