U.S. Capitol Police on Wednesday arrested a suspect for allegedly “doxing” GOP senators by posting their private information online.
The suspect, 27-year-old Jackson Cosko of Washington, D.C., has been charged with publicizing restricted personal information, witness tampering, second-degree burglary, threatening interstate communications, unauthorized use of a government computer, identity theft, and unlawful entry, according to a Wednesday press release.
The Capitol Police said an investigation is ongoing, but declined to answer The Hill’s requests for comment.
Reports emerged last week that someone from within the U.S. House of Representatives had posted the home addresses and personal cell phone numbers of GOP Sens. Orrin Hatch (Utah), Mike Lee (Utah) and Lindsey Graham (S.C.) on Wikipedia.
Rumors circulated online that the IP address behind the edits came from the office of Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), though the California congresswoman later said the Capitol Police and a tech specialist determined the “IP address in question does not belong to my office or anyone on my staff.”
Cosco worked for Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and previously worked for Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA).
A September 2018 letter from Sheila Jackson Lee (D -TX) identified him as a staffer for her office at that time.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is a member of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee.
A different person working for Hassan was the intern suspended for shouting F*** You at President Trump.
Jackson Lee’s office identified Cosko as an intern and said he was fired because of the accusations.
Additional charges may be forthcoming…
While I can see some truth in your statement....
....the Deep State would have dredged up someone else who had ties to DC in the 80’s and would have cobbled some other story.
I think there is some truth in what you say - but that book was the gift that kept on giving. I suspect most dems are abandoning the fake rape stories.

Sure wasn't named after Andrew Jackson.
Someone should DOX his personal and family information.
Especially the President
Good. Hope his days in prison are long and the soap is slippery.
I don't think that's a problem with him.
