rhetorical question

It was a rhetorical question designed to impress on them his urgency and his demand that part of their job would be walking the streets with him.

It’s not a rhetorical question, but one with an answer: when that judge is someone he picked himself.

Sitting in the university’s performing-arts library, he traced the arcs of the notes with his fingers, posing rhetorical questions in his deep, faintly drawly voice: “What kind of emotion did the composer want?”

"I was asking that as a clearly rhetorical question rather than a substantive question, as I think any fair-minded listener would conclude."

He says he was "struggling to hear the question" and adds that he was asking a "rhetorical question" when he spoke to the person in the audience.
