Harvard Law School professor Jack Goldsmith, a noted critic of former President Donald Trump, published a “guest essay” in theon Tuesday warning of “terrible consequences” for the country in the ongoing prosecutions of Trump.readers that while they might enjoy the idea of Trump being indicted and possibly imprisoned, the other half of the country did not see it that way, and would seek revenge:

And it is the Biden administration’s responsibility, as its Justice Department reportedlyof Mr. Trump for a year and then rushed to indict him well into G.O.P. primary season. The unseemliness of the prosecution will most likely grow if the Biden campaign or its proxies use it as a weapon against Mr. Trump if he is nominated.
