re: #143 Charles

Actually — there’s a distinction here. Sherrod’s superior at the USDA told her that the White House was asking for her resignation. The superior may have been stretching the truth to get Sherrod to comply right away and resign.

I don’t believe the superior would have invoked WH pressure it weren’t true. The Superior had to know Sherrod would approach the media, seek legal remedy, etc.

Remember, this was already news when those calls came.
