This tape, in its entirety, must be played on the house floor.
And every Secretary of State and governor need to be called to testify before House oversight AND in court in the relevant cases.
Though an ongoing impeachment could prevent him from issuing any more pardons.

"In cases of impeachment" is ambiguous as to if it's the President being impeached, blocking him from issuing any additional pardons, or if it's those who have been impeached who can't be pardoned......
Note: if an impeachment is NOT a criminal prosecution, it would follow that there would be no grounds to attempt to pardon someone impeached and convicted - thusly, they could not be pardoned. 
That clause must mean a President being impeached has no authority to grant pardons that may sway any members of political OR civil society to act in his OWN best interest - else he could pardon everyone currently in prison & gain support from those willing to engage in violence.
