Closing Argument #1: Why the Courts WILL Strike Down a Trump Self-Pardon

As a career federal prosecutor, I spent 30 years arguing cases in courts. In the final days of the Trump presidency, here is the first in a series of "closing arguments" regarding the legal issues that will have to be addressed in. the near future by the Biden administration. Today's installment: why the Department of Justice MUST challenge a presidential self-pardon and why the courts will strike down the the pardon. 
Tomorrow's episode: why the available evidence proves beyond a reasonable doubt why Donald Trump is criminally responsible for what happened at the US Capitol on January 6th AND why his corrupt intent/criminal mens rea/guilty state of mind is easier to prove than some might think.
