A former Senate staffer was sentenced to four years in prison for stealing information from five Senate offices and posting personal details on Wikipedia.

Jackson A. Cosko, 27, of Washington, D.C., pleaded guilty in April to charges of computer fraud, witness tampering, obstruction of justice and sharing restricted private information.

In addition to his sentence, Cosko had to forfeit computers, cellphones, and other equipment used in the crimes, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia said Wednesday.

According to officials, the U.S. Capitol Police began an investigation in September 2018 after Wikipedia pages of three U.S. senators were discovered to have personal information post without consent, including home addresses and personal telephone numbers.

I hope he sings like a bird, but sadly he probably won’t. Communists are pretty fanatical.

without going to the story and giving the WaComPost a hit, didn’t this POS work for maxine waters?

[StAntKnee]

I notice the Senator for which he worked is not named. Nor indication of party. Except that the doxxed Sens. were GOP.

Who did this bugger work for?

Nowhere in the article does it say he was a RAT staffer or which RAT
Senator he staffed for.

Jackson A. Cosko is a "former aide" to Senator Maggie Hassan and Representative Sheila Jackson Lee.

He carried out what prosecutors said was the largest known data theft in Senate history and used it to blackmail a witness, to plot to extort a senator and to threaten others.

He left operational spy devices on the Senate network that went undetected by police even after he was arrested and his plot was discovered, prosecutors said.

He stole the data from Sen. Hassan's computer "out of revenge for being fired," then used it to doxx Republicans during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings.

Cosko is the son of a millionaire San Francisco developer with ties to California senator Dianne Feinstein and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

A second Hassan staffer who was friends with Cosko served as his accomplice in exchange for rent money helped him physically break into the office at night and pilfer internal emails even after he was fired, prosecutors’ sentencing memo shows.

According to Legistorm, he worked for U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and previously worked for Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA). He previously worked or was an intern with the office of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-CA, according to Fox News. 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 Donald Trump recently.)

The NBC article says he sneaked into the office of Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.). Politico says he was an aide to Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.).
Samantha Deforest Davis was charged Wednesday with evidence tampering and aiding and abetting computer fraud. She also worked for Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.).

Looks like he was a busy little Rat.

A busy little Rat, indeed. Working for the lineup of Charlie’s Devil Women, too.

He was told you sing to Feds you die in the prison showers

Cosko also had to forfeit computers, cellphones, and other equipment used to commit his crimes. According to U.S. Capitol Police officials, they began an investigation in Sept 2018 after Wikipedia pages of three U.S. senators were discovered to have personal information post without consent, including home addresses and personal telephone numbers. Even after Democrap Cosko was arrested and a computer was quarantined, Capitol Police and Senate employees found
<><> keylogger devices were plugged in to many of the office’s computers.
<><> The devices continued to beam every keystroke — including passwords to personal and business accounts —
<><> a WiFi signal was utilized that could be accessed from the public hallway.

This sounds a lot like the Paki spy case-----a slew of House Democraps hired the Awan clan as techs.

Were the Awan's Demorat employers working a similar scheme?

Does he have turn that over after it’s been bleach bit and smashed with a hammer? I think a rape hit needs to be put on him while in prison!

4 years is pretty good for someone of The Resistance. Hassan is up for reelection in 2022 - seems like a pretty good issue for the (probably inept) Republican challenger to use against her.

Here’s a good article with a picture of the (smug) doxxer.

He should have gotten espionage charges and perhaps terrorism charges as well.
