"Ethically challenged former US Congressperson Newt Gingrich has
proclaimed Donald Trump a liar. Gingrich claims there are no tapes of
Trump strong-arming former FBI Director James Comey, it was an
uncalculated bluff.
'President Trump is supposed to reveal this week, six weeks after making
the initial suggestion, whether he actually has tapes of his White House
conversations. Trump last month wielded those potential tapes as a very
thinly veiled threat against former FBI director James B. Comey. And
ever since then, he and the White House have decided to withhold the
truth from the American people, refusing to answer a simple yes-or-no
question.
But Newt Gingrich just gave away the game, for all intents and purposes.
In an interview with the Associated Press, the Trump-backing former
House speaker basically admits that Trump was just bluffing to try to
get inside Comey's head.
“I think he was in his way instinctively trying to rattle Comey,”
Gingrich said. “He's not a professional politician. He doesn't come back
and think about Nixon and Watergate. His instinct is: 'I'll outbluff you.'”
Apparently not being a “professional politician” is a license for
dishonesty.'"
Again, for the edification of you wingnuts, that isn't an anonymous source.

He implied it to attempt to intimidate Comey.
The fact that he phrased it in weasel words doesn't change anything.
