Would you not say that Pontius Pilate was bullied into allowing the Crucifixtion of Jesus Christ ?
He did see no wrong in the behavior of Jesus Christ...and he did claim that his kingdom was not of this world...so that king was a half-truth.

I would and do say that 'Pilate did exactly what he was fated to do'.
The Roman governor was not 'bullied' into doing anything.
Sent to Judea of Palestine, by Tiberius, in support of the Roman installed 'secular' government of Herod, -Pilate dealt with an ongoing "insurrection" by fanatical Jewish 'theologists' during his administration.
Begun in 6 A. D., Judas the Galilean was the 'author' of the "insurrection". Although he was killed in battle, another 'descendant of David and messiah' rose up after him... he too was killed. And another rose up after him, etc... the 'war' did not end until the wealthy and educated Jews scattered abroad, Jerusalem was razed to the ground (save the western or 'Wailing Wall') and the Jewish nation was no more in existence (70 A. D.)
"Jesus Christ"?
Who, pray tell, is "Jesus Christ"?
Put the Kool-ade down... be not like our Muslim brothers who read only one 'Book'...
It is altogether much too easy to obliterate that which was written before and (re)write anew...
Nevertheless, let us indeed look at was written...
According to the original Greek Gospel attributed to Matthew (27:17) we find: "Who do you wish that I release to you, Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?" (The name "Jesus", as applicable to Barabbas, was omitted from the Latin translation and most of the sub-sequential translations thereafter, -around 390
A. D.)
Whoa!
Portrayed in the 'theological tome' -known to us as the Holy Gospels, as "a notorious robber, murderer and insurrectionist", the assembled Jewish multitude Chose to release Jesus Barabbas.
Pilate, knowing full well 'who was who' and exactly what was going on around him, accented.
Did both the "multitude" and the Roman governor err?
Before one might answer (the above question and this scenario), consider this...
"Barabbas" is not a surname (any more than is "Christ"), rather it is an Aramaic appellation, -the meaning of which is: Bar = Son + Abba = Father (of us all or God). His name Was "Jesus", He Was called "the Son of God".
Pilate was neither "bullied into allowing the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ" nor was he concerned with the "Son of God" or Jewish theology... he Was concerned with an ongoing insurrection that was all around him.
Free "an insurrectionist"... in stead of an innocent man?
No, they were literally 'switched'... one for the other.
It is You, my friend, -although not exactly "bullied" but rather cleverly 'coerced' into 'believing' that Paul's "Jesus Christ" ever lived.
Roland, a reluctant iconoclast.

Yes, I would not say that he was bullied, I would say that he was a politician who was playing a bad hand of cards; remember he washed his hands of the matter and let the people decide who was to go free. We can speculate on other outcomes but we can not change history.

An important detail is to understand what half-truths are...there are several new types...
While a statement may be true, it may be merely part of the truth.
