    From the link you posted below:

    When asked about Michael Wernick:

    I, over the course of many months, had a sustained level of political pressure on me to interfere with a prosecution — a situation that I found to be untenable.

    Like all good politicians, it sounds like Trudeau outsourced the pressure to his bagmen:

    The prime minister never directed me to interfere in the prosecution.

    But

    political pressure that was placed upon me to interfere with a prosecution, which is something that is entirely inappropriate.

    So, sure did Trudeau get in her face and threaten her? No. Did his people? Yes.

    Is Trudeau ultimately responsible for that? Yes.

      I think not. Is it possible Wernick was just a lousy employee? Yes it is. The bottom line is Wilson Raybould had an axe to grind. Many crappy employees lash out. It happens.
