‘Self-Righteous:’ Dem Staffer Likely Headed To Prison As Prosecutors Look To Make Example Of Him For Politically-Motivated Crimes dailycaller.com/2019/06/19/dem… via @dailycaller
A former Democratic congressional aide who doxxed Republican senators during a confirmation hearing for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh will likely be sentenced to prison Wednesday.
Former computer administrator Jackson Cosko 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.
Prosecutors are seeking to make an example of Cosko for criminally attacking people who disagreed with him politically, citing a rise in such incidents.
