2 years of this harassment and threats against him AND HIS FAMILY and nothing?

It does not say his felony conviction disappears. However, doesn't a Presidential pardon undo the felony conviction?

Yup and a lot more easily, lot less friction, than freeing someone from prison like might have to be done for Paul Manafort.

No, it doesn’t. Per the DOJ website:

“Does a presidential pardon expunge or erase the conviction for which the pardon was granted?

No. Expungement is a judicial remedy that is rarely granted by the court and cannot be granted within the Department of Justice or by the President. Please also be aware that if you were to be granted a presidential pardon, the pardoned offense would not be removed from your criminal record. Instead, both the federal conviction as well as the pardon would both appear on your record. However, a pardon will facilitate removal of legal disabilities imposed because of the conviction, and should lessen to some extent the stigma arising from the conviction.”

It doesn’t get any more horse’s mouth than that.
