ormer Rep. Katie Hill said she was "surprised and disturbed" after the husband of her 2018 fundraising consultant was arrested by the FBI and accused of coordinating an effort to crash the website of her Democratic primary opponent.

Arthur Dam, the husband of fundraising consultant Kelsey O’Hara, was charged with intentionally damaging and attempting to damage a protected computer. The news was first reported by the Intercept.

The campaign website of Hill’s opponent, Bryan Caforio, crashed for the first time on April 20, 2018. It crashed again on April 21, April 28 and May 29, according to the criminal complaint. The April 28 hack occurred the day of a debate between Hill and Caforio and the May 29 incident took place just days before Hill beat Caforio in the June 5 primary, 24,507 to 21,821.

It’s the FBI folks. If I were on a jury I would acquit on those grounds alone.

Awful people.


@KatieHill4CA

I quickly opposed the Kavanaugh nomination because he is a threat to reproductive health, campaign finance reform, and our workforce. But now we’re talking about putting a serial predator up for a lifetime appointment in the highest seat we have in the U.S. That can’t happen.

Just because Dems cheat against other Dems in the primaries doesn’t mean they will cheat in the General Election. Only Republicans do that.

When an airhead like Katie claims she doesn’t know anything about it, she’s probably telling the truth.

It is good to see that they are willing to do their dirty tricks against those in their own party as well as their GOP opponents.
