Passive voice obscuring responsibility — 'was fragmentary' and 'remains unknown' avoid naming who knew or who concealed
Loaded adjective presupposing conclusion — 'criminal plan' assumes systematic intentionality without presenting evidence in excerpt
Vague collective framing — 'we knew' creates in-group without defining who comprises 'we'
