nominee Brett Kavanaugh has been sentenced to four years in prison for
his crime.

Jackson Cosko was described by prosecutors as having “self-righteous
entitlement” and believing “that he could violate the sanctity of the
United State Senate at will and threaten individual Senators as he
pleased,” The Daily Caller’s Luke Rosniak reported. Rosniak further
wrote prosecutors sought to make an example of Cosko because his crime
allegedly led to other incidents of attacks on political opposition.
Cosko is the son of the CEO of a major construction company who has ties
to House Speaker Nance Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).
Cosko previously worked as a staffer in Sen. Maggie Hassan’s (D-NH)
office, but had since moved on to working for Lee. While senators
questioned Kavanaugh and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who accused the
now-Associate Justice of groping her while they were both in high school
some 30 years ago, Cosko snuck into his former boss’ office to use a
computer to publish the private information of some of the Republican
senators who supported Kavanaugh.
Another staffer in Hassan’s office recognized Cosko and reported him, so
he sent the staffer an email threatening to “leak it all” if the staffer
told anyone what he had done.
“Emails signal conversations gmails. Senators children’s health
information and socials,” Cosko wrote to the staffer.
Cosko pleaded guilty in April “to crimes related to an unparalleled
effort to ransack a Senate office, extorting a Democratic senator,
illegally harming Republicans for their political views, and
blackmailing a witness,” Rosniak reported.
Prosecutors, according to Rosniak, asked for a five-year prison sentence.
“The government believes that a significant sentence would help to make
clear that difference of political opinion do not entitle people to
engage in politically motivated, criminal attacks threatening elected
officials with whom he disagrees, and would thereby encourage respect
for the law, and deter future criminal conduct,” they wrote.
Rosniak reported that new details about Cosko’s crimes were released in
a sentencing memo, including the fact that the senate learned later —
because Cosko told them — that the offices were being spied on due to
his keylogger devices. Cosko also made handwritten notes to himself
about the crime, according to evidence filed in court. One notepad said:
-Backup all files
-Mail backup
-Burn Aliases
-Wipe down comps
Prosecutors wrote that Cosko laughed about his crimes and said he
planned to use the data he stole from the senate offices “to punish
people who disagreed with his politics.”
“The defendant operated under the belief that he was entitled to inflict
emotional distress upon United States Senators and their families,
simply because they disagreed with the defendant and had different
political views,” prosecutors wrote in their sentencing memo. “The
government believes that there appears to have been an increase in
similar criminal harassment, particularly through social media channels,
by people across the political spectrum.”
On Wednesday, a second former Hassan staffer was charged for acting as
Cosko’s accomplice. Politico reported that Samantha Deforest Davis, a
former staff assistant for Hassan who left in December, was expected to
plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges for helping Cosko. Davis
allegedly tampered with evidence and aided and abetted computer fraud by
allowing Cosko to use her keys to repeatedly return to Hassan’s office
after he was let go.

Second former Democrat staffer charged in aiding doxxing of GOP senators
Second former Democrat staffer charged in aiding doxxing of GOP senators
Samantha Deforest Davis, a former aide to Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH), has
been charged in connection with the release of personal information of
about five Republican Senators online, during the Justice Brett
Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings, reported Fox News.
How we got here: Davis, who worked for Hassan from 2017 until December
2018, allegedly helped Jackson A. Cosko, another former aide to Hassan,
sentenced to four years in prison Wednesday for 'doxxing' Senators.
Cosko pleaded guilty to one count of computer fraud, two counts of
making public restricted personal information, as well as obstruction of
justice and witness tampering.
How did he do it? After Cosko was fired from Hassan’s office in May of
last year, he started entering the office by using his colleague’s key
and downloaded data from Senate systems, including passports, user
names, and contact information, according to court documents.
He was arrested after an employee noticed saw Cosko working on a
computer in a place where he wasn't allowed to be. Prior to his arrest,
which took place in October 2018, Cosko threatened the employee. “I own
EVERYTHING. "If you tell anyone I will leak it all," he wrote in the email.
The second staffer: Davis is now facing one District count of attempted
evidence tampering and one federal count of aiding and abetting computer
fraud. According to court filings, Cosko persuaded her to "wipe down"
Senate computers. She is expected to plead guilty.
