‘Self-Righteous’: Dem Staffer Headed To Prison As Prosecutors Look To Make Example Of Him

A former aide to Sen. Maggie Hassan and Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is headed to prison Wednesday for what prosecutors said was the largest known data theft in Senate history.

The former aide, Jackson Cosko, pleaded guilty in April to crimes related to an unparalleled effort to ransack a Senate office, extorting a Democratic senator, illegally harming Republicans for their political views, and blackmailing a witness.

Prosecutors asked for nearly five years in prison for Cosko, a onetime congressional IT aide to Hassan. Cosko admitted he stole the New Hampshire Democrat’s data out of revenge for being fired, then used it to doxx Republicans during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings.

“The government believes that a significant sentence would help to make clear that difference of political opinion do not entitle people to engage in politically motivated, criminal attacks threatening elected officials with whom he disagrees, and would thereby encourage respect for the law, and deter future criminal conduct,” prosecutors wrote.

New details emerged in their sentencing memo that made the case of Cosko — the Bernie Sanders-supporting son of a millionaire San Francisco developer with ties to California Sen. Dianne Feinstein and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — even more shocking.

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?

First thing Cosko's new cellmate will say, "Yo sho do hab a pretty mouf."

[LongWayHome]

Surprised he got some real time.

Might be a good thing fedgoc doesn’t use linux because a software based keylogger is available for linux. There wouldn’t be any device to find.

[CodeToad]

5 years is light. He should have gotten life.

[piasa]

Says cocaine and meth were found in his belongings:

I wouldn’t think doing the drugs would be very good for his computer skills, I wonder if he wasn’t a doer so much as a dealer?

[Liz]

That he does.

[bigbob]

I’ll bet his parents were too

[Thank You Rush]

Not exactly a response to your post but the thread used “democratic” and I’d like to see an end to using that as a description of the “democrat” party.

Let’s all do our part of calling democrats democrats and NOT democratic!!! It’s really getting out of hand referring to them as “democratic” - nothing “democratic” about them...

I’m doing a bad job at this but I hope you all understand what I’m saying. “Democratic” just shouldn’t be used at all when talking about the Democrat party. I don’t care what news channels anyone watches - they all refer to democrats as “democratic”...You can see why the uneducated and ignorant fall for it and vote democrat!!! “These people is democratic and they’s goin to get my vote.”

“”Democrat Party is the grammatically correct term for the Democratic Party. The Party is not “democratic,” and proper nouns like “Democrat” are not converted into adjectives by adding “ic” as a suffix.””

Hi.

I hope Jackson Cosko needs a security detail when he leaves prison...if he leaves prison.

One can only hope he'll never hear his own farts, again.

However, what are the chances he'll have 3 years to work on his putting and backhand?

[bigbob]

Also this, which indicates he is not a quick learner:
“Cosko kept sending threats, even after he was arrested, “

Strange that Dad worked on this project, and its tunnel systems.

Greg Cosko was appointed CEO of Hathaway Dinwiddie in 1996, but his history with the company goes back even further.

Cosko first joined the company in January 1975 as an assistant payroll clerk at One Market Plaza and worked as a time keeper at the site. Over the years, he worked his way through the ranks of the company — an experience he believes was instrumental in his ability to understand all facets of the business and become an effective leader.

“I got to know a lot of trade workers personally that I would see in the decades that followed,” he said.

His big break came in the late 1980s when he was put in charge of construction of The Getty Center in Los Angeles, which took eight years.

His dad’s a developer...is he possibly mob connected? If so the guy being hired despite an unexplained criminal record might not be a security breach so much as a job skill in the eyes of the Dems, like the skills of Robert Creamer, also a convict.

I was thinking the same thing. Such a pretty mouth and probably has one of them metrosexual butt’s.

He may have to spend his time in solitary.

[Albion Wilde]

What did SJL know, and when did she know it?

[rlmorel]

"...prosecutors said was the largest known data theft in Senate history..."

"Whatever became of the Hassan brothers?"

I was thinking of Imran Awan and his family...

[VanShuyten]

He looks like he’ll be very popular in prison, what with that purdy lil mouth on him...
