In reply to the discussion: Mueller investigation goes on the record to dispute BuzzFeed report [View all]Stuart G
(38,726 posts)....If Buzzfeed was totally wrong, the statement from Mueller would have said so. Don't you think?..And yes, no editor would run this without some supporting evidence....................................................
... Sure ...Leopold could have made up that evidence..ok, but that is the end of his career ...forever....is he that stupid?......maybe, but on this big a story, would he take the chance of being found out?..would you..I wouldn't.
So, guess what, we will find out. Yes, Leopold could be all wrong. But maybe, just maybe, it is all ...........
............an understatement..not an overstatement...That happens sometime in history...
Here is an example of an "understatement" On June 22, 1941, Hitler invaded the Soviet Union. No one knew the loss of life on the Soviet side till years after the war, Was it a million lost? 2million?..Now years later, some estimates go as high as 10 million citizens and soldiers killed. or..Was it 15 million?..Stalin was wrong about the whole war, so he deliberately did not keep close track of the number killed by the invasion. He deliberately ..underestimated the losses of human life in the invasion and subsequent battles.
The horror of the war was totally beyond belief. Even now it is hard to imagine the deaths of 15 million people at the hands of the German soldiers..Or was it 10 million? No one really knows for sure. The initial estimate of loss, was totally understated ...on purpose by Stalin..
