By saying 'I'm confident the President knows...' is a subconscious way of saying I believe, not I know.
Considering how in the loop Novak supposedly is, that is quite telling.. if he only 'believes' then he is tying the connection himself without any evidence.
There is a fine line between what you know and what you believe. If the President told Novak that he knows who the leaker is, does that mean that Novak knows that the President knows who the leaker is? Or just that the President says he knows who the leaker is?

If the President told Novak that he knows who the leaker is...But...but...but Newsweak says the President is in a bubble.
(BTW, they also said the exact same thing about President Reagan. In fact, I think they just recycled the 20-yr-old article.)

No, it's not who knows what, it's when they knew who knew and knows who will know enough to actually say with certainty they know who knew. As you well know, saying you know who knows and actually knowing who knows are two very different things. Take it from me, I know about these things...ya know?
