There's a grey area between providing information and applying pressure, and where you personally consider the line of inappropriate behaviour is crossed. Some would think there should be no discussion between the AG and her colleagues regarding a decision; others might think it's their job to make sure the AG is fully aware of the potential ramifications of every decision before it's made. It seems JWR is among the former and much of the rest of the party is in the latter group. So it's not so much a matter of believing one and not the other. It's just where you draw that line.

very succinct, very astute..... kinda like my repeated emphasis on the subjective interpretation of so-called "pressuring". Clearly, St. Jody couldn't work within typical, standard processes/channels:

Wilson-Raybould battled Bennett, other ministers over Indigenous rights framework

Wilson-Raybould’s regrettable legacy as justice minister

given St. Jody's well known difficulties in working with others and her failures on the job, the cabinet shuffle was appropriate, particularly with the legal background/reputation/capabilities of the now current AJ/Justice Minister, David Lametti
