Former Democratic staffer pleads guilty to 'doxing' Republican senators

A former Democratic congressional staffer pleaded guilty Friday to federal charges related to his leaking personal information about Republican senators and threatening a witness who caught him in the act.

Jackson A. Cosko, 27, of D.C., copped to five offenses, including computer fraud, making public restricted personal information, witness tampering and obstruction of justice.

He faces nearly five years in prison when he is sentenced June 13.

Cosko admitted to “doxing,” the act of posting personal information about another individual online. He said the goal was to “threaten and intimidate” the senators and their families.

He posted the personal addresses and phone numbers of Sen. Mike Lee of Utah and four other Republicans who were key figures in the confirmation fight over Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh.

Prosecutors said Cosko posted the information on Wikipedia during and after the Sept. 27, 2019, hearing on sexual assault allegations against Justice Kavanaugh.

If David Hogg turns down the next Rambo sequel will this geek take the role? Modern man version to appeal to millennials.

“Dox ... is it short for ‘drop your sox’? Military vets would get the connection.”

I thought it was grab your sox. You dropped something else.

I remember a WWII Army Air Forces vet telling me he’d heard Clint Eastwood use that expression when he went to see Heartbreak Ridge. Except he couldn’t quite remember how it went. I hadn’t seen the movie but told him how it went, and he said I had it right.

I told him “We used to say that in the Boy Scouts. How did they get you out of bed in the Army Air Forces?” He said they yelled “Rise and shine.”

The most important fact: Cosko had been working for Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee.

He's not a "Democratic" staffer he's a DEMOCRAT staffer!

There's nothing "democratic" about those assholes. They're Communist/socialist.

Just one more example of how those assholes bastardize the language.

Somebody in Washington DC is going to jail for obstruction of Justice, but it’s not who you think...
