Donald Trump held his first press conference since winning the presidency on Wednesday, touching on many of the issues that will dominate the opening weeks of his presidency.
"That's something that Nazi Germany would have done"
Mr Trump says it is a "disgrace" that information that should have been restricted to the intelligence community made its way into media reports. He said it would be a "tremendous blot" on the record of the intelligence community if leaks came from within: "I think it was disgraceful that the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned out to be so false and fake out.... that's something that Nazi Germany would have done and did do."
While the vehemence of Mr Trump's stance is clear, the links to the Third Reich are less obvious.
"I think it was Russian"
Donald Trump made the strongest statement yet that he has been convinced that Russia was behind the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman. He did repeat his argument that too much attention is being paid to these hacks compared to other foreign-orchestrated cyber attacks but it appears that we're now all on the same page as far as the culprit.
"Hacking is bad, and it shouldn't be done...but look what was learned from that hacking"
Pointing the finger at Russia does not mean Mr Trump is upset that the hacking took place. He said valuable information about Mrs Clinton and her associates was gleaned from the hacks. In fact, he said it was a "terrible thing" that the dirt contained in the emails of his opponent's allies was not more widely discussed.
"There's a good chance I won't" get along with Vladimir Putin
Mr Trump is sticking to his guns. He says it's a good thing that "Putin likes Trump", and that it is important to pursue stronger relations with Moscow. If that relationship breaks down though, the president-elect said, he will be tougher on Mr Putin than Mrs Clinton ever would have been.
"I won"
Mr Trump said the American people showed they did not care about his decision not to release his tax returns, and possible conflicts of interest with his business, by electing him president. Mr Trump said he would turn leadership - but not ownership - of his company over to his sons, and said he was not legally required to limit conflicts of interest as president.
