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.
