Trump Says He Has New Information About Alleged Russian Hacking

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has said he has unrevealed information about alleged Russian hacking during the presidential election that he plans to present next week.

Speaking briefly to reporters on his way to a New Year’s party in the U.S. state of Florida, Trump responded to a query about the alleged hacking by saying: “I know things that other people don’t know” and “you will find out on Tuesday or Wednesday [January 3 or 4].”

He also said that he still believes the hacking of emails of U.S. Democratic Party officials could have been carried out by “somebody else” other than Russia. He said he knows a lot about computer hacking and that it’s “a very hard thing to prove.”

Last week, the U.S. government expelled 35 Russian diplomats and imposed sanctions against Russian security officials and agencies over the alleged hacking. U.S. intelligence agencies have said they believe Moscow ordered the hacking in order to help Trump win the election....

Trump should take 0h-Bah-Ma to the woodshed on this issue.

Hacking Dem party emails, whoever may have done it, is NOT the same as hacking an election, as Obama is trying to claim.

I saw him say that. It should drive the MSM crazy until he reveals what it is. Also, Obama is going to have a complete meltdown waiting to hear what Trump knows.

Remember, SJWs (and all leftists) go hard on psych projection.

If they’re accusing anyone of anything it’s because they’re red handed guilty of themselves.

The only org that did any election hacking are those owned and operated by the DNC.

Let’s watch the MSM/Democrats go wild now, trying to get ahead of whatever they think DJT’s going to reveal.

Looks like Democrats all the way up to the top could be busted for this political shenanigan. After all these years of deceit, could this be it? ;

Direct attack by Obama aimed at Trump, not Russia

I wonder if Russia or Israel supplied Trump with some intel.

I’ve been hacked (off) for the last 8 years. And I’m not getting tired of winning.

Somehow this story came to be about hacking and Russian interference instead of Security.

It is possible to build reasonably secure networks. Any of the cloud providers is more secure than most of these clowns.

That should be the message coming from Trump and what's left of the Republicans.

America and Americans are being hacked by everybody. It's not just the Russians that are doing us harm. Both Iran and China have perpetrated some very high profile "hacking" as well, to include disabling critical infrastructure.

We are Disneyland for hackers.

Well put.

They, in fact, are guilty of the very things they accuse others of.

Kids do that..when confronted about a wrong they did, they always claim they did not do it and blame another of the wrong.
