Former Democrat Senate aide Jackson Cosco was sentenced to four years in prison by a federal judge on Wednesday for her role in hacking Senate computers and using the information to “doxx” Republicans. As The Daily Caller reports:
A federal judge on Wednesday sentenced a former Democratic aide to four years in prison for hacking Senate computers, using spy devices and “doxxing” Republicans.
Jackson Cosko — a former aide to Democratic New Hampshire Sen. Maggie Hassan, Democratic California Sen. Barbara Boxer and Democratic Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee — stole the entire contents of Hassan’s computer systems in October 2018 and published the private information of Republicans, including home addresses and cell phones. He hoped to intimidate them over Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination.
The same day, prosecutors charged a second Democratic aide with computer fraud and tampering with evidence for her role as an accomplice to Cosko…
“It was a rather vicious offense. You were upset politically, perhaps you thought in today’s world it’s OK to lash out because of that but it’s not. There needs to be a deterrent,” Hogan said. “You put those people in harm’s way in a polarized society. You can’t pass this off as simple political extremity that is OK to do.”
Democrat operatives like Cosco were so desperate to stop the confirmation of Trump’s picks for the Supreme Court that they resorted to vicious criminal acts, a trend that is likely to continue as they meltdown over Trump’s likely victory in the upcoming 2020 Presidential election.
