That small, barely audible sucking sound you hear is the swamp draining.

[mewzilla]

So what about his partner in crime?

Is she going to be in an adjoining cell?

If not, why?

[Vigilanteman]

Draining the swamp one miscreant at a time. I do wish we could dig a wider ditch.

[a fool in paradise]

And guilty of witness tampering

[grobdriver]

Warms my heart to see ol' Jackson Cosko marched off to jail.

Hopefully he will serve as a warning.

Finally, some good news.

Eucalyptus trees. When Baron Edmond Benjamin de Rothschild brought them to Israel from Australia, they sucked the crap out of the swamps over here. Perhaps Durham is a eucalyptus tree disguised as a Deputy AG.

He won’t do any Costco runs for four years, assuming he serves the whole sentence.

[CaptainK]

Amazing how quickly they can find a Senate leaker but I can't recall any one of the dozens of Presidential leakers who have suffered any kind of consequences.

[Lurker]

“assuming he serves the whole sentence.”

He will serve at least 80% of it. There’s no parole in the Federal system.

This is exactly what is needed to put an end to this dangerous activity. It should be as widely publicized as possible.

“Cosko said that he’d been struggling with substance abuse and mental health issues and that the judge’s decision earlier this year to let him enter a treatment program was pivotal.”

I wonder how many more of Maggie Hassan’s staff have these issues.

Hogan said he was puzzled at how Cosko kept up work in congressional offices given the cocaine, psychedelics and alcohol he was consuming daily.

“The probation office indicated he’s lucky he wasn’t dead,” the judge said.

he worked for U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and previously worked for Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA). He previously worked or was an intern with the office of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-CA, according to Fox News. A September 2018 letter from Sheila Jackson Lee (D -TX)

[Dilbert San Diego]

Substance abuse and mental health issues?

Do other liberals have these problems too?

[JimRed]

Should be labeled “Dem Ex-Aide”, not Ex-Dem Aide; still a RAT, no longer an aide.

[notdownwidems]

I do love a happy ending.

Hassan is a flaming, potty mouth bolshie.

I venture that her aids were acting on her orders.

[Eleutheria5]

This isn’t an end, just a beginning, I hope. Let him get a couple years off by ratting out DiFi.
