Former Democrat Staffer Arrested for Doxing GOP Senators
United States Capitol Police (USCP) arrested a suspect yesterday on charges he allegedly posted private and identifying information on Wikipedia about a Republican senator, an act known as doxing. The incident occurred last Thursday, shortly after Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
USCP released the following statement:
Today, the United States Capitol Police arrested the Suspect who allegedly posted private, identifying information (doxing) about one or more United States Senators to the internet.
Jackson A. COSKO, age 27, of Washington, D.C., has initially been charged with 18 USC § 119 Making Public Restricted Personal Information; 18 USC § 1512(b)(3) (Witness Tampering); 18 USC § 875(d) (Threats in Interstate Communications); 18 USC §1030(a)(3) (Unauthorized Access of a Government Computer); 18 USC § 1028(a)(7) (Identity Theft); DC Code § 22-801(b) (Second Degree Burglary), and DC Code §22-3302 (b) (Unlawful Entry).
The investigation will continue and additional charges may be forthcoming.
Cosko was recently an unpaid intern for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), according to Roll Call, which also reported:
[Cosko] previously worked for Democratic Sens. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire and California’s Barbara Boxer, who has since retired. Cosko was most recently listed in the Senate directory phone book as Hassan’s “legislative correspondent/systems administrator.” His LinkedIn profile says he left Hassan’s office in May 2018.
This cowardly act is plainly intended to harass and intimidate the targeted Republican politician(s), and is especially dangerous considering the current poisoned political atmosphere in DC and elsewhere. Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), and Mike Lee (R-UT) had personal and identifying information posted on Wikipedia.
Fox News reported that Cosko either worked or interned for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and for retired Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) as well.

I feel like I could make a good drinking game out of how low the Left will stoop to get what they want.
Problem being, whoever played would die of alcohol poisoning these days.
It’s pretty scary watching all this play out, honestly. It feels almost like watching the downfall of the Roman Empire all over again, heavily seasoned with Nazi brownshirt tactics.
These interesting times we live in are getting a bit too interesting for my liking.
> whoever played would die of alcohol poisoning these days
…in about 36 seconds
Shocking that this clown worked for Maggie the Commie.
Dear Maggie, that’s twice. You are the company (or staffers) you keep. Enjoy your one term.
“Hassan’s “legislative correspondent/systems administrator.””
Looking at his photo I would not be surprised if was caught up in Haggies husbands school boy story.
and this will be explained as an act nobody knew about or condoned. and there will be wringing of hands and clutching of pearls.
but we will all know better.
You forgot to mention the fainting couch.
… and you left out the smelling salts, the vinaigrette, the hartshorn and water!
There will be much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, and dorking of the squeakhole.
The vapors, all of them will get the vapors when they tell us that nobody could have possibly known he would do such a thing !!!
OMG, the vapors !!!
His shirts must be tailored. I have never seen a factory made Oxford shirt with 33 inch sleeves and an 8 inch neck.
(If Judge Kavanaugh wanted to retire in comfort and provide handsomely for his family for the remainder of their lives, he could do so simply by suing the many people who have defamed him over the past month or so.)
> suing the many people who have defamed him over the past month or so
…and, as an experienced judge, he would know how to squeeze every last drop out of the discovery process.
I think you’re being generous with giving him an 8 inch neck. OTOH, from the looks of him, he would gladly swallow an 8 inches, and I’m not talking about Subway.
Why don’t the RINOs play the same slimy games as the dildocrats play? For years they have taken the (semi) high road, thinking if only they treat the scummy dummycrats with some respect, the dummycrats will eventually reply in kind. Not gonna happen. When your entire platform rests on ‘We’re Not Trump”, you have to resort to plan B, which in this case is to smear the RINOs. The RINOs better take off the gloves and engage in the fight.
Shit. She’s not wearing an Oxford.
Tough one there. Due to his being a “public” personality / official, isn’t there some difficulty with him being able to defame someone?
This douche looks like excellent hubby material for our favorite gun-banning soy boy Imacamera Hogg…
It’s that smug, self-serving smirk on his face that says he’s better than we are. I wonder how long he’ll last in a jail cell. Maybe 24 hours?
More like 24 minutes…
If he even makes it to one. I’m guessing a particular “judge” who’s friends with someone who’s friends with someone will decide to go easy on him and keep him out of prison.
Obama filled the federal judiciary with liberal judges while he was in office. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens.
Daddy’s well off, from what I’ve read. Something about being involved in business deals with Diane Fineswine’s husband. Cosko will likely make any bail set, with daddy’s money.
I hope that the Capital Police did search warrants and seized all of this little shitbird’s computers, phones and tablets.
“suing the many people who have defamed him over the past month or so”
Even if confirmed. Quietly go after them.
With extreme prejudice. Make them learn all about due process and the constitution.
Win/win!
^^THIS^^
Make the scumbags pay.
That girl needs some meat on her bone’s.
Heroin keeps her runway ready for any show!
Looks like Pee Wee is in trouble.
THAT BOY makes Pee Wee Herman look like a Bodybuilder!!!
Well….we can all play the doxing game:

My question: how does one support oneself in one of the highest cost-of-living areas in the nation, while working as an unpaid intern? Who is supporting this doofus while he donates hos time to this Who’s Who of ComIntern plants?
Or did I just answer my own question?
A good question is that. One look at him and I’m thinking that his butt and jaw and knees are very sore on Saturday and Sunday mornings, but I don’t know.
I was going to say behind dumpsters….but I think you nailed it.
Soros money.
the biggest lie in DC is that unpaid interns are not paid.
Everyone involved in the game in DC gets paid somehow.
I’m thinking he has a brisk business behind Circle K. The cost is low but he makes it up in volume. I’m not suggesting he would swallow one, but …
Wonder what he puts on his resume as his greatest accomplishment and what he feels he can contribute to his potential employer? Probably “Took one for the team, in a variety of positions.”
people who work for the leftards need not create a resume. They recognize each other by the smell.
The cost is low but makes it up in volume reminds me of the old joke…
“I made $201 bucks blowing guys behind the Circle K”
Who gave you the dollar?
“Everyone”
David Hogg’s twin.
Sheila Jackson Lee intern. Houstonian here, not surprised in the slightest.
“Cosko was recently an unpaid intern for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX)…”
Maybe S.J. Lee acted on orders from another D-rat and sicced her disposable lackey on whomever she said?
Bitch is crooked and low enough to do that all by herself. Everyone in Houston knows she is for sale, and not always to the highest bidder. Makes a dog’s hind leg look ruler-straight by comparison.
I’ve heard that myself about her as well as many parts of the district she represents looks like a third world shithole!
Was that before, or after SJL dropped off the envelope to Ford’s lawyer in the hearing room?
Isn’t 27 a little old to be an “intern” ?
Once graduated from college, “intern” is a euphemism for unemployable loser.
Or “blue dress wearing cigar holder”
I’m sure Dick “Dickless” Durbin will snatch him up as a “consultant” now that he’s jobless.
In a column by the late Mike Royko of the Chicago Tribune, prior to the 2000 Presidential race, Dickless secretly printed up and distributed hundreds of Gore/Durbin campaign buttons in hope that he’d be the chosen lapdog for Gore.
Once the buttons hit the street, in an interview with the NY Times, Dickless acted surprised at the idea that he was thought of as a VP candidate and then slobbered all over himself describing Al Gore’s “exceptional” fitness for the Presidential Office to the New York Times.
The A-Hole is a dumbo’crat and nothing will happen to him like Ted K. Bill C, Cory Booker, Hillary C, Elias I forgot his name, Etc. He can get a job at Cosko’s stocking shelves.
Can’t wait to hear from Cunthulu later today to let us now how deficient the supplemental FBI investigation was. She said that Kavanaugh ‘s nomination is dead. I’m sure she is correct. I’m looking forward to quoting her from her prior posts—but I will omit her juvenile and incessant use of “It should be noted.” And LC, I expect, will be giving his seal of approval, w/o reservation, as he promised, no matter what the investigation’s outcome.
Dress up the little soy boy just like Pajama Boy and throw him to the wolves at the BTJT Deli (Home of the WORLD FAMOUS Cockmeat Sammich).
Play stupid games, JACKSON COSKO – win stupid prizes…
I swear he could pass as a 17 y/o high school sophomore. He could start an LGBT program and wave their little multi-colored flags at sporting events.
Nah, forget it, I can’t see this fruitcake at any sporting event.
He’d fit in just fine over at Brucie’s Bath House (Entrance in the Rear) during the “Fisting Friday” festivities…
WEAK.
Well, if you’re going to cheat to try to win the game, do it big or don’t do it at all. Why only those three people? Why not other GOPers, too? Too mild for it? Was Graham targeted because he slammed the democraps right to their faces?
Nothing surprises me about any of this, but things are getting more and more interesting as this business moves along.
A Fox article from a few days ago has Kavanaugh as the most popular Republican, period, and more support for Republicans in general.
Will these fools ever repent their sheer stupidity? Nah. That would be expecting too much of them, as if they were human and had feelings.
No inside info, of course, but would guess that only 3 was not his original plan. Maybe he was stopped before he could do more than 3.
Hope so.
This is a new low, even for the Democrats.
And I’ll bet he thought he was being clever, too.
I’m trying to figure out how a graduate student in cyber security wouldn’t be smart enough to mask his IP address. It might explain how he is still an intern and graduate student at 27.
I’m trying to figure out why he doesn’t have a real job in the IT industry.
Obviously, there is a disconnect there that says his degree was not obtained for the purpose of doing something wholesome.
He looks like the type who expects a job with a six digit salary and a home in Country Club Hills immediately after spending seven years getting s Bachelors Degree in Gender Studies.
I detest people who dox other people almost as much as those who engage in swatting, or who hack into a server just to burn it down.
If the charges are true, Cosko is a vicious little swine who should be hung up by his hind trotters and flogged with a whip made from Sheila Jackson Lee’s soiled underpants…
I’m with you on this Perry, it’s the first act of a fucking coward to release this info knowing you don’t have the sack to do jack shit yourself so you’re hoping someone else will commit some mayhem on your behalf….
I’d beat this little fucker till he pissed himself which I guess would take a slap or two….if I punched his skinny little ass he’d probably break like cheap glass.
One good hard stare from any senior NCO and this boy would have a shit hemorrhage.
That smirk…
Smug little commie sh*t-stain, ain’t he/she/it?
Probably thinks that he’ll (?) have a leadership roll in the Duma but’ll be among the first shot at the bottom of a shallow ditch.
(Barely) useful idiot.
I wonder how long it’ll take before he turns and gives up the big fish?
What a smug little sh!t. Hope he catches hell for this.
I don’t want to upset you stranger, but it is beginning to smell a lot like Gun Fight’n weather.
It’s amazing that when those of us on the right suffered for eight f’n years a marxist being in the White House, undermining the rule of law, short circuiting the Constitution, and bypassing Congress, the Democratic Socialists (a/k/a Democrats) had a grand time. We did not do violence, wear funny hats, or otherwise work outside the law. Instead, we voted. And. Trump. Won. Now, the country is winning and the Democratic Socialists are livid, wild, and violent.
The Democratic Socialists are today’s Democrats. Those who would say otherwise do so through ignorance. So, if you want to read about the DS, have at it. You will recognize much that’s in there from the D Party platform. And if you read their opposition pieces regarding Judge Kavanaugh, you will see that there are no ‘spontaneous’ protests. These people are organized and they are calling on their legions to “”Unleash Your Fury.”

It’s simple, AirCav.
We’re civilized.
They are still throwing tantrums on the rug in their diapers.
They are still throwing tantrums on the rug in their shit filled diapers.
FIFY, Ex-PH2
Speaking of those eight years before President Trump, just how many times did we hear of vandalism, rapes, drugs, arson, rioting and looting at Tea Party Rallies? I attended a few myself and I’m sure the place was just as clean if not cleaner afterward! And the Law Enforcement present at them? They were friendly and cool to us likely because we were respectful of them as well!
It’s getting worse. There’s an update. He was caught at a computer in the Senate office building and had used it to email a threat to release the health information of certain senators’ children. Apparently, going after the children of politicians one dislikes is now part of the Dem Payback Playbook.
Oh. My. Horta.
What in the hell is wrong with those people? Someone please explain it to me in words that I can comprehend.
Good God, what else is there we haven’t seen yet?
Logically the next step would be outright assassination of GOP politicians, but the loony left has already skipped ahead and attempted that last year at the GOP softball game practice, so I guess the next logical step would be outright assassination and murder of GOP politicians’ and senior officials’ family and children…
Yes, but then we’ll just elect replacements, so that won’t work for the skank leftreds.
Yes, but it will jam up the legislative process for many months as special elections are held to replace the dead. Hodgkinson almost succeeded in doing just that when over 25 GOP congressmen were in his rifle sights at the ball park. He only miscalculated because Scalise as a congressional leader had a security detail with him…
We’ve had appointments made by the governor to replace Congresscritters when they leave for some reason. That alone just might keep some nutz from following through on their threats, if they can think ahead that far, especially in red states. Even in those with Dem gov’s, it’s traditional to appoint someone from the same party as the one vacating the seat. Always figured that was fairly uniform across the “57” states.
It varies by state; some do appointments until the next regulat election; others appoint until a special election is called; still others call special elections with no appointments made at all…
When they go after a federal judge the game will be over…..or just beginning. Even the Mafia balks at crossing that line.
What’s wrong with these people? You means besides being spoiled brats with no sense of anything beyond themselves??
Nothing matters to them except what they want. And they want it NOW!! Peace be upon those who might guess wrong and fail to provide it for them.
I did find a reaction from one Demo whose response to all this is ‘This is NOT how we do things’. I don’t know how long she will last.
This dumb fusterclucker is one of an entire generation of children now legally adults who think they can do whatever they want to, no matter who gets hurt, and get away with it. No consequences to them.
I look at my nephew’s kids – same generation – nothing like these whack jobs.
Now it is entirely possible that these outrageous acts will spur the Congresscritters who were wavering to vote FOR Kavanaugh’s appointment.
You asked, “What in the hell is wrong with those people?”
I’ve been an atheist and/or agnostic all my life but I’m starting to believe, or have come to an understanding, that only the Lord knows.
It’s amusing to me that evil could drive someone to be reverent.
Not an unusual thing, Roh-Dog.
There is a lot of karmic energy being generated.
That ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you’ is the same thing. What goes around comes around, and they don’t know about or understand any of that.
If any of them live past 40, I will be completely surprised.
To us the children of all politicians are off limits no matter which side of the aisle that politician falls on. To Democrats the children of Democrat politicians is off limits, but the children of Republicans are fair game. They prove that time and time again.
The only thing I object to is the headline “Former Democrat Staffer…” That implies that he was no longer so employed when he did the doxing. In fact, he was an employed staffer of Shelia Jackson Lee while he was doing it, and has since been fired. This is how the all the LSM has been presenting this.
This is an update from (gag) CNN this morning or late last night, on this subject.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/04/politics/congress-doxing-suspect-jail-hearing-court/index.html
According to the story, he had been fired by Sheila Jackson Lee earlier, but was found by a staffer in another Senator’s office AFTER he was fired, using the computer to do this doxing. He grabbed something from the desk, left in a hurry, then sent the staffer an e-mail threatening to release her private information if she reported him.
So that envelope you guys were wondering about last week may have been from the staffer to Jackson-Lee, and she passed it on.
Also, he doxxed five Senators altogether, not just three, in addition to info about their children.
Whatever, he has to spend another week in jail now.
This should be interesting. I’m sure the skinny bugger will plead something: not the 5th, because I’m sure he doesn’t know what that is, but something about ‘freedom of speech’. Unfortunately, privacy and security laws come ahead of the “freedom of speech” thing, and that 1st Amendment “freedom” does not include freedom to commit criminal acts.
I hope he gets the slammer in a really, really nasty place.
He’s lookin’ at what… 20 years?
Good for him.
I’m trying understand the lack of awareness in people like this that makes them think it’s okay to do these things.
If they think there are no consequences to something like this, and then they find out that there are, why didn’t that occur to them before they decide to do something this stupid?
They are called useful idiots because they either are incapable of independent thought or they simply opt to not think. Useful idiots have no concept that there could be negative consequences for what they do because they are doing the “right” thing, as defined by the loony lefties who convince them that up is down and constantly feed those delusions.
