A Democratic congressional staffer was arrested Wednesday and accused of posting the personal information of at least one Republican senator during last week's hearing about sexual assault claims against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, authorities said.
U.S. Capitol Police said 27-year-old Jackson Cosko was charged with making public restricted personal information, witness tampering, threats in interstate communication, unauthorized access of a government computer, identity theft, second-degree burglary and unlawful entry. Police added that the investigation was continuing and more charges could be filed.
Senior congressional sources tell Fox News that Cosko most recently worked as a staffer for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas. He also had worked with Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., and former Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer of California. A LinkedIn page with Cosko's name on it describes him as a "Democratic Political Professional & Cybersecurity Graduate Student."
Sen. Graham on scrutinizing handling of Kavanaugh hearingVideo Personal information of Sens. Lindsey Graham, Mike Lee and Orrin Hatch was posted on their respective Wikipedia pages as the Senate Judiciary Committee questioned Kavanaugh over allegations that he assaulted Christine Blasey Ford at a high school party in the early 1980s. All three have professed their belief that Kavanaugh is innocent of the claims brought against him by Ford, with Graham telling the federal judge "you've got nothing to apologize for" amid a fiery rant denouncing Democrats' handling of the claims.

bad link...
Ya mean that ain’t the same person?
Sacrificial lamb. Youth. Lapse in judgment. All those things allowed for anyone who is a liberal.
Should also be charged with mail fraud.
I thought the IP had been traced to Waters’ office.
Could it be that even though he had worked for Jackson-Lee, he used a device in Waters’ office to commit his crime?
Read it again and look at #85 to see what I was responding to, which appeared to have nothing to do with this story.
I’m sorry I was hasty!
why does someone delete their pinterest page? It basically shows their interest in photos and groups I see an overwhelming number of women that have pages, not men. Plus Sheila Jackson Lee was just shown wearing that gay symbol jewelry. How does a white guy get a job with her unless he is gay. There must have been some pictures he did not want people to see.
I think they pulled the story or moved it. I still have it open on my computer and I copied the link into a new window and it is coming up oops.
The Justice Department has to crack down hard on each and every one of these people that they catch.

Wondered when it was deleted?
Agree.

“UPDATE: The staffer arrested for doxxing GOP senators was actually an *intern* in Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee’s office, according to her chief of staff Glenn Rushing. He’s no longer with the office as of today’s news.”
Yeah, I’m curious whose office he used too. Not the cybersecurity genius he thought he was LOL!
Used to be 40 years ago, a popular, well-respected party school. Easiest non-Ivy egress into Georgetown Law, etc. Easier than freaking American U!
Now it's the school that freaking Tuck Schodd couldn't even graduate from.
Now it's the school that published the bogus PR hurricane 'death toll'.

A 27yo intern who has worked for 3 congress critter already?
