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.

He won’t, that’s why he pled out. Maybe 2 years.
Have fun in prison!
No, unfortunately, and even after 18 months in Club Fed, working on his golf game, he'll still be able to hear his own farts... (Yeah, like he's going to do a full nickel. An Qbama judge will quietly spring him for good behavior.)
Doxing is publishing home addresses and private phone numbers, as well as the names and locations of all of their relatives, on the Net. This way, Antifa can track and harass them.
And until we can shoot all Socialists, it will be a common tactic.
wow!!
I’m still wondering exactly why a guy like that was on Shelia Jackson-Lee’s office staff. He doesn’t seem like the sort that she’d hire.
PLEASE READ THIS:
This dork pleaded guilty to a federal charge that mandated a five-year prison sentence. This means a federal judge can only sentence him to five years.
Federal laws have fixed sentences. He will be released earlier, under Federal stipulations, if he keeps his nose clean. His minimum release will be after four years, which is twenty percent for good behavior,
He could get about 20 years if DC had a real prosecutor.
And the incident happened the same day that Jackson Lee was caught on camera handing a small white envelope to Blasey Fords attorney.
Lee walked over to the table of Ford and her 2 attorneys after Ford had given her Kavanaugh testimony it was pretty shady but nonetheless caught on camera.
I thought it was grab your sox. You dropped something else.
Typical corrupt Democrat.
It’s all shyts and giggles until these entitled snowflakes have felonies on their records. IF he survives prison the REAL fun begins. Having felony convictions mean much more than not being allowed to vote or legally own firearms. It’s a really sucky game changer. He’ll never be able to do the work he’s been dong. Felons can’t get any civil service or gov’t jobs. He’s locked out of most union shops, even though many of the thugs who run the unions are felons themselves but that’s beside the point. And if, for instance he tries a career change and go for a teaching degree, FAT CHANCE getting a job in that profession. Or any occupation that requires ineracting with minors, even if he’s not a registered sex offender. And if he ends up down on his luck and goes on public assistance, forget about moving into a good subsidized apartment. Housing authorities and landlords are loathe to allowing felons to move in. He screwed himself royally. Another consequence of TDS.
