Well, Chauvin is serving 20+ years on federal charges and 20+ years on state charges
Trump can't pardon state charges
He wanted to do his time at a federal prison for safety as part of his plea deal. Maybe a pardon sends his ass back to state prison.

You almost certainly want to do prison time in federal prison vs state prison, from a safety and quality of life perspective.
As bad as prison can be, at least federal prison have AC and reasonably upheld standards of care.
