U.S. whistleblower was pressed to exaggerate leftist role in urban protests, lawyer says

A former acting chief of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's intelligence office has told Congress that DHS leaders pressed him to overstate illegal border crossings from Mexico and overplay the role of far left groups in violence during anti-government protests last summer, his lawyer said.

So they wanted him to be a blowhard?

I have heard about blowhards before. I was not sure if the expression pertained to blowing a guy that had a hard or if there really is a whistle involved. Either way if you are going to blow you might as well be zealous about it. Either blow or don't blow.
