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.

Remember seeing Lee with the white envelope at the hearing?
His momma says he's a good boy who doesn't fondle, uh, girls, get drunk, throws ice cubes at people, or plans parties. He's almost perfect! Oh, now he had to change his career plans, so he wants to be a rapper.

Senior congressional sources tell Fox News that Cosko most recently worked as a staffer for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas.
Anybody catch that> Is that what was in the envelope that Sheila handed to Ford’s attorney?
ROFLMAO! Thanks, Chode. I never get tired of that pic/graphic. Well-placed.

Even though Kelly Ayotte was a horrible RINO and tried to get Trump to drop out in October 2016, her seat was stolen by illegal voters from Massachusetts.
Wrong it was not Maxine Waters, he worked for Sheila Jackson Lee....per https://heavy.com/news/2018/10/jackson-cosko/
ackson Cosko, who calls himself a Democratic Political Professional with cybersecurity expertise, is accused of crimes for allegedly doxing Republican Senators during the Brett Kavanaugh/Christine Blasey Ford hearings.
The United States Capitol Police arrested the suspect who allegedly posted private, identifying information (doxing) about one of more United States Senators to the internet, a statement said.
According to Legistorm, he worked for U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and previously worked for Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA). A September 2018 letter from Sheila Jackson Lee (D -TX) identifies him as a staffer for her office.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is a member of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee.

She was the one that handed two enveloped to Ford’s attorney, could they have been the addresses?
Sheila Jackson Lee will need to steal someone else’s airplane seat again so she can go into hiding for a few days.
“She will continue to deny it, while totally not understanding how peoples actions using a govt computer can be traced.”
“You mean traced like with a crayon? I dindu nuffin!!”
