Second congressional Democrat staffer charged in scheme to 'dox' Republicans amid Kavanaugh confirmation fight

Second congressional Democrat staffer charged in scheme to 'dox' Republicans amid Kavanaugh confirmation fight
Excerpt: Court documents accuse Davis of aiding 27-year-old Jackson A. Cosko, a former Hassan aide who has pleaded guilty to five federal offenses, including two counts of making public restricted personal information, and one count each of computer fraud, witness tampering and obstruction of justice. Prosecutors alleged Wednesday that Davis was persuaded by Cosko to "wipe down" Senate computers he had hacked... Cosko was arrested Oct. 3, 2018, one day after a staffer discovered him working on a computer in Hassan's office, where Cosko was not authorized to be. Records show Cosko sent a threatening email to the staffer the evening he was confronted. “I own EVERYTHING," Cosko wrote, adding, "If you tell anyone I will leak it all." Cosko previously held positions with other prominent Democrats, including former Sen. Barbara Boxer of California and the office of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, also of California and the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. (Important to note other prominent Dems for whom Cosko worked.....Barb)
