Assuming Obama will pardon her, is there a way to overturn that?

No, the power of a pardon is absolute. Only if the pardon was somehow declared void by the Supreme Court or if it was narrowly written such that a crime was not covered could there be a trial. A Pardon is truly a "get out of jail free" card.

But only on crimes with a resultant court outcome.

Pre-pardoning has never been proven to be legit.
