Trump Says He Has Hacking Information Others Dont Know

[mfcorey1]

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — President-elect Donald J. Trump, expressing lingering skepticism about intelligence assessments of Russian interference in the election, said on Saturday evening that he knew “things that other people don’t know” about the hacking, and that the information would be revealed “on Tuesday or Wednesday.”

Speaking to a handful of reporters outside his Palm Beach, Fla., club, Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump cast his declarations of doubt as an effort to seek the truth.

“I just want them to be sure because it’s a pretty serious charge,” Mr. Trump said of the intelligence agencies. “If you look at the weapons of mass destruction, that was a disaster, and they were wrong,” he added, referring to intelligence cited by the George W. Bush to support its march to war in 2003. “So I want them to be sure,” the president-elect said. “I think it’s unfair if they don’t know.”

He added: “And I know a lot about hacking. And hacking is a very hard thing to prove. So it could be somebody else. And I also know things that other people don’t know, and so they cannot be sure of the situation.”

1. I am sure he does.

[madaboutharry]

2. He makes it up on the fly.

Come Tuesday or Wednesday all we will hear will be crickets and a denial that he ever said he knew anything about it.

[SammyWinstonJack]

3. Unknown knowns or known unknowns or......

He's embarrassingly stupid and doesn't realize it.

7. I really think he has early dementia that's being covered up as best they can. The GOP wants the

power, Trump is just their puppet for the deplorables. He's a distraction for the GOP's nefarious activities going on at many levels. That, is where the real worry should be, more dangerous to democracy than Trump.

4. Two possibilities...

this is just another bit of braggadocio bullshit that he has to spin at least once per hour

or

his buddy Putin is behind it all and he's too stupid to keep it secret

Maybe both.

15. I think you

have identified two major components of a larger truth in your speculation.

[Madam45for2923]

5. Is that a confession?

In Trump's world: "Nobody Knows exactly what's going on"

That is the leadership he brings to our country. That's what he wants for us.

6. Someone had a bowlful of Sarah Palin this morning.

It's hard to decide which one is the bigger idiot.

[leftyladyfrommo]

8. He is probably making it up as we speak. nt

[sinkingfeeling]

9. Well, when you have an intimate relationship with the hackers ....

I guess so.

10. The con man

also said that he had info that President Obama wasn't born in the U.S.

11. Why doesn't he just drop it?

Possibly because the issue is very important to him. Very, very important to him. More than questioning his so-called "mandate" or even slightly soiling his stunning "success."

Possibly he knows that something else might eventually come out concerning the hacks. Perhaps he wants to discredit the C.I.A. and even the F.B.I. prior to it's revelation.

What might that be?

Could someone in his camp like Manafort have suggested that the Russians hack certain systems and or disclose certain material to Wikileaks? That would be treason.

Could someone have coordinated the dates of the publication of the leaks in Wikileaks. That might not seem as bad, but Trump would still like to avoid confronting it.

Therefore, discredit the sources of intelligence so he doesn't (in his mind) have to face the intelligence.

Otherwise, why doesn't hae just forget the entire matter of the leaks?

12. Everything Trump knows about hacking, he learned from Putin.

Beyond that, he knows nothing at all.

[Hugin]

13. But, Penn said Trump was 'ineducable'.

Are you saying, Putin knows something we don't?

[lpbk2713]

14. Trump is a lying fool.

I just can't make up my mind if he is more of a liar or more of a fool.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

16. So then Donald

you got the info from Uranus.

[6000eliot]

17. Straight from Comrade Putin's mouth.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

18. He'll give you the information Tuesday

for a hamburger today.

[JHan]

19. I suspect he's gonna do more of this:

Pit himself against intelligence agencies to make himself look "strong" in the eyes of his supporters and anti-establishment.

and some will be duped by his antics.

I also hope I'm wrong.

[Generator]

20. I'm sure he has some bullshit conspiracy theory

That's all he ever has. That was the birther thing, his approach to ISIS-Hillary-everything is bullshit made up crap that he believes. He is insane and a danger to all. Let's just see what old Alex Jones is saying then will know the "truth." Seriously I bet it follows from there.
