I asked whether someone has been pardoned while their appeal is pending. So far, no one has named anyone (Libby included). You threw some names out there, hoping one would stick, but I suspect you’re not accustomed to defending your assertions.
You were proven wrong about Libby, above, by multiple posters.What ARE you talking about?

HOGWASH!
You and your posse come on these threads and assert an ever-continuing change in rules. First, it was suggested R&C shouldn't be pardoned until their sentence was handed down because that had never happened before. Then, it was they shouldn't be pardoned until their appeal was heard.
What next? They shouldn't be pardoned until their entire sentence is served?
Libby was pardoned after conviction but while his appeal was pending.
Marc Rich, Weinberger (et al) were pardoned before a conviction was ever handed down.
There are no hard and set rules to prohibit pardoning or commuting RAMOS and COMPEAN--there is just no will among those occupying the WH.
And yes... I used the word PARDON to include acts of commutation. Don't like it? Get over it.
