It’s now just a question of time. Specifically, when will President Obama pardon Hillary Clinton?

That question was the inevitable take-away from New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s powerful indictment – literally – of the former Secretary of State in his address to the GOP Convention last night. The one-time federal prosecutor methodically laid out the litany of lies, malfeasant and other criminal activities with which Mrs. Clinton could, and should, be charged. The crowd found her “guilty,” again and again.

Naturally, the most politicized Justice Department ever won’t prosecute the incipient Democratic presidential nominee. But Gov. Christie showed how – all other things being equal – Hillary will be tried and convicted in the court of public opinion.

The only possible way out is for President Obama to pardon her preemptively – and soon. It may not change the ultimate verdict, but it would commute Hillary’s sentence.
