No, President-elect Trump: Russian hacking is not like the CIA's WMD fiasco

Peter Bergen wrote for CNN about Trump’s comments on Russian hacking:

President-elect Donald Trump says that he doesn't believe the US intelligence community's assessment that the hack of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) was the work of the Russians. To bolster his point, Trump cites the CIA's faulty intelligence about Saddam Hussein's supposed weapons of mass destruction in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq in March 2003.

In a statement about the CIA that he issued late last month, Trump said, "These are the same people who said Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction." On Sunday at his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump made this point again to reporters, saying, "if you look at the weapons of mass destruction, that was a disaster and they were wrong."

But there are some significant differences between the CIA's weapons of mass destruction fiasco 14 years ago and the evidence that is now being offered by the American intelligence community about the Russian hacking.
