According to Walters, Trotsky had to lie in 1932 because "admitting he had contact with his son in Berlin would of endangered the developing opposition to Stalin." The Party had rejected Trotsky's line over and over by 1932. Kirov was murdered in Dec. 1934. To say that an alleged developing opposition to Stalin would be "endangered" in 1932 does not hold. You are projecting your notions about the late 1930s back to 1932.
