A bluff is a lie made under limited circumstances where both sides agree lying is acceptable as a tactic. This latest effort by trump is to justify some of his lying by calling this particular lie a "bluff".Trump never said he taped the conversation(s). Seriously, come out from under that spell. Let me help.
"I taped the conversation." + "Nah, I really didn't" = LIE
"Better hope there's no tapes of the conversation." + Psyche" = Bluff

The word bluff is defined in dictionaries as an effort to deceive and mislead. That is not a nuance. Calling trump's comments as a "bluff" is an admission that trump was purposely deceiving and misleading, hence, lying. Unless, of course, you are changing the definition of the word bluff.The lefty dopes are too stupid to grasp the nuance. They're like dealing with little children.Trump never said he taped the conversation(s). Seriously, come out from under that spell. Let me help.
"I taped the conversation." + "Nah, I really didn't" = LIE
"Better hope there's no tapes of the conversation." + Psyche" = Bluff
And what is the natural response to that statement in the context Trump made it? An exhortation, of course, to attest unequivocally whether there are tapes, and, if one has the authority to do so, order that they be delivered to the appropriate party(s)."Better hope there's no tapes of the conversation."
no children would understand a bluff. they do it almost daily.The lefty dopes are too stupid to grasp the nuance. They're like dealing with little children.Trump never said he taped the conversation(s). Seriously, come out from under that spell. Let me help.

Be that as it may, liberal, conservative, progressive, etc., mature adults don't treat legal matters as they would a poker hand by saying, as Trump did, "Better hope there's no tapes of the conversation." They don't because:
OP, you are aspire to lampoon progressives for not knowing Trump was bluffing. It's apparently, however, not crossed your mind that the context in which Trump "bluffed" isn't one in which sane, serious, honest, responsible, and mature adults would doing anything other than unequivocally, comprehensively and precisely state the truth, or say nothing. That you have the gall to have publicly advanced the theme in your OP is shameful; however, I am embarrassed for you, but only because you clearly cannot be so for yourself.
- They don't want their reputation impugned by appearing to be dishonest or insouciant about their duties.
- If there were such tapes and facing allegations such as those Trump does, any responsible person would, unbidden, produce the tapes in refutation of the claims Comey made. Comey's contemporaneous notes have weight in legal proceedings, but tapes that allow arbiters to hear not only the words but also the tone of the conversation would hold more weight.

Gee golly, you really got me a good one. Just kidding, I'm just bluffing, but if you prefer I lied.
Way to go Trump. I suspect his bluff, (I mean lie) worked in his favor. Comey has proven to be dishonest, partisan, a bureaucrat and nuts. And of course Trump has been vindicated. That or at least "we can all" admit that to-date the Russian collusion business is a fabrication, built on lies.

I wouldn't call his "tapes" statement a lie. "Bogarting" is what I'd call it. There's nothing wrong with doing it in the right situation, and the situation in which Trump did it is not among them.
Since Trump never said there were recordings he didn't lie.The word bluff is defined in dictionaries as an effort to deceive and mislead. That is not a nuance. Calling trump's comments as a "bluff" is an admission that trump was purposely deceiving and misleading, hence, lying.

Trump really knows how to stir the left into a frenzy. He does it just to see the monkeys jump. How long was covefe good for? Now the tapes. Thinking people knew all along there were no tapes. Trump was once again playing the left and doing it brilliantly.

You might check the OP for the definition of a lie. It's simple and straight forward. Bogarting? heck I don't know, that was Obama's game, if I recall.
