Aide to Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan pleaded guilty and fully confessed to stealing gigabytes of data from five Republican Senators, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), during the Kavanaugh hearings.
Democrat intern Jackson Cosko pleaded guilty Friday to these charges, which stemmed from his posting to the Internet the personal information of five GOP senators.
What a really smart intern this guy is. Then again, he worked for Maggie Hassan. That should explain enough.
Cosko has also held positions with other prominent Democrats, including former Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer of California, and the office of Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein, also of California who happens to be the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Cosko was placed under arrest on October 3rd of 2018, just one day after another staffer found him at a computer in Maggie Hassan’s office, where Cosko was not authorized to be. Records also revealed that Cosko had sent a threatening message to that staffer the same evening he was confronted.
Cosko is scheduled for sentencing in Washington on June 13th, just a day before President Trump’s 73rd birthday. This should be an easy one, and an early birthday present for President Trump.
According to Fox News:
A former House Democratic staffer pleaded guilty Friday to five federal offenses related to posting online the personal information of five Republican senators, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, during hearings for then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The charges against Jackson A. Cosko, 27, include making public restricted personal information, computer fraud, witness tampering and obstruction of justice.
In addition to McConnell’s information, Cosko posted the home addresses and phone numbers of GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Mike Lee of Utah and Rand Paul of Kentucky — as well as then-Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah.
Cosko reportedly became angry about the senators’ support for Kavanaugh despite sexual assault allegations that President Trump’s nominee was facing during the hearings. Cosko intended to intimidate the senators and their families, according to court records. Kavanaugh’s nomination was ultimately confirmed.
At the time of his arrest, Cosko was working as an unpaid intern for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, who fired him soon after. He was previously employed as a computer systems administrator in the office of Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., a job that gave him “intimate knowledge of, and broad access to” the computer systems in Hasan’s office, according to court records. But he had been fired from Hassan’s office in May 2018 for failing to follow office procedures.
After the firing from Hassan’s office, Cosko became angry and repeatedly burglarized the office without being detected, court records said. He copied gigabytes-worth of data, including dozens of user names and passwords belonging to Senate employees and “contact information for numerous sitting U.S. senators,” according to court records.
So, what we know is that Jackson Cosko illegally hacked the Senate computer system and released personal information of Republicans—and only Republicans.
Cosko was working with and/or on behalf of the Democrats to attempt to sabotage SCOTUS Brett Kavanaugh and the Republicans who supported him.
The Democrats have gone so far Left, and are now the party of sabotage and infanticide. As long as they have absolutely no morals, no values for life and no conscious, there is no way out but to throw my support to the Republicans…
Supporting pure evil would keep me up at night, but guess it doesn’t bother them any.
And of course, he worked for Sheila Jackson Lee. Who’s next, Maxine Waters?
What do you think of this attempt at dirty politics?
