This will just lead to endless arguments about the definition of “political pressure,” and whether previous Republican administrations ever put “political pressure” on anyone.

Gowdy will have these things from Morrel swinging from his coupe pole.

Morell will not be the only one that gets neutered or spayed.

And the reliable MSM will spend hours dissecting and analyzing the terminology “political pressure” instead of reporting any of the facts of the scandal.
