A former aide to two Democratic members of Congress will receive a sentence of four years in prison for data theft after pleading guilty to five felony charges linked to 'doxing' — or releasing personal information such as home addresses — five Republican senators.

Jackson Cosko was sentenced Wednesday by Judge Thomas Hogan in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Cosko was arrested in October 2018 for breaking into the office of his former employer, Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., and stealing private data before using it to 'dox' several Republican senators by posting their personal contact information on Wikipedia.

Even after his arrest, Cosko, a supporter of 2020 presidential candidate and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, 'continued to mine data' through keystroke-logging 'devices he had installed on several computers in the Senate offices'... The devices were only discovered after Cosko informed authorities of their existence.

the prosecutor described the bulk of Cosko's charges, including "a months-long series of burglaries and sophisticated data theft offenses directed at the office of" Hassan and "maliciously releasing" personal information of Senators Lindsay Graham, Orrin Hatch, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, and Mitch McConnell.

He also obstructed justice by attempting "to silence a witness by threatening to release the private health information of a Senator’s children, because he corrupted another person and persuaded her to attempt to 'wipe down' the scene of his burglaries," and attempting to destroy evidence in his own apartment.

The memo describe Cosko's crimes as reflecting "a deliberate malice and self-righteous entitlement.".. Prosecutors said Cosko's crimes were motivated by his fury at being fired by Hassan and his political anger at Republicans. They said that he "wanted to punish people who disagreed with his politics."

the leftard looks like someone’s pet for a long time. Pet also means someone’s b*tch.

If anyone has time to check out the Youtuber who was in jail a total of 10 years, he gives out the things what to do once you go to jail, how to eat, how to show you’re not some rookie etc. and how not to get raped.

Good - he deserves worse.

There should be an investigation into the scumbags he worked for.

Even after his arrest,
<><> Cosko 'continued to mine data' through keystroke-logging 'devices he had installed on several computers in Senate offices'...
<><> discovered after Cosko informed authorities of their existence.

Cosko's charges included
<><> "a months-long series of burglaries and sophisticated data theft offenses directed at the office of" Sen Hassan
<><> "maliciously releasing" personal information of Senators Lindsay Graham, Orrin Hatch, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, and Mitch McConnell.

Democrap Cosko was under arrest and a computer was quarantined, yet 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 Capitol Hill Paki spy case-----
a slew of House Democraps hired the Awan clan as techs.

Were the Awan's Demorat employers working a similar scheme? Were they all in collusion?

Is that smugness all over his face? Hopefully prison will wipe that away.

YES HE sure looks like a smug little prick.

But to him and his cohorts, he didn’t do anything wrong. Because they wanted to do anything, literally anything, to keep Kavanaugh from being confirmed.

Shelia Jackson Can NEVER be TRUSTED.. Pelosi uses the black caucus a lot to do her dirty work. So if caught they pull the race card and the issue becomes racial rather than the crime committed.....and tracks to Nancy are never discovered.

Here's Jackson passing an envelope to Christine Ford's Lawyers during the Kavanaug hearing which raised a lot of eyebrows.
