President-elect Donald Trump declared Saturday that he knows "things that other people don't know" about Russian hacking allegations, suggesting FBI and CIA reports leave room for doubt over Russia's meddling in the U.S. election.
"I just want them to be sure, because it's a pretty serious charge, and I want them to be sure," Trump told pool reporters Saturday in Florida, where he is ringing in the new year.
"If you look at the weapons of mass destruction, that was a disaster, and they were wrong. And so I want them to be sure," he continued.
"I think it's unfair if they don't know. And I know a lot about hacking. And hacking is a very hard thing to prove. So it could be somebody else."
"I also know things that other people don't know, and so they cannot be sure of the situation," Trump responded when asked why he doubts intelligence reports of Russian hacking, according to a pool reporter.
When asked what Trump knows that other people don't know, Trump responded, "You'll find out on Tuesday or Wednesday."

Are you aware our intelligence did NOT report WMD in Iraq, and that Saddam offered not only unlimited searches of his palaces toward the end, he even offered to leave Iraq, according to Woodward's book, if he could take his family and money.'
ReplyDeleteBush and Cheney wanted war -- and Bush refused to let Saddam leave. I found this out watching Larry King interview of Woodward about it -- both men (King and Woodward) were surprised this information was not picked up by the MSM, but they never mentioned it.
The point is, our intelligence were not wrong, our politicians wanted war. Bush had 200,000 American troops ready to strike by the time Saddam offered to leave, and he was not going to look like a fool and call everyone home, only to have Saddam go back later to Iraq. Bush cared about how all this would make him look.
Bush never told the public Saddam offered to leave -- in fact, he said the opposite. He said he gave Saddam the chance to leave, but that's not true. He had to leave without his cash, and without his family. He would have been dead in two days without his money. And he was not about to leave his family there to be killed.
