Notice that Hannity and Woodward always [ I think always, I don't have a transcript to refer to] say that Sperling told Woodward that he would regret what he was saying. That could easily sound like a threat to me. The implication of Sperling saying that Woodword would regret it is that he was going to make him regret it. The transcript of the pertinent part of the email is here:
"I know you may not believe this, but as a friend, I think you will regret staking out that claim,"
That is believable to me as simply saying that Woodward would come to regret it because he was mistaken. I do not believe that either Hannity, the far right-wing propagandist, nor Woodward, an accomplished word smith, are unaware of that slight change in the wording and how it changes the likely meaning. That's a whole lot like lying.
