In Response To: Let me make it even clearer ... (Timothy Chow)

"The second statement uses the word might. The word might expresses possibility. Whether or not the Croatians actually got the vote out, it is at least a possibility that they did. Therefore the statement that this is a possibility is factual. "

One might use this rhetorical technique to make negative insinuations while maintaining a semblance of deniability, if one were an ass.
