So we posted how Maxine Waters denied that anyone in her office doxxed Republican lawmakers during the Kavanaugh hearings. But it turns out it was just some other Democrat’s office that was the source of the attack.

Per @LegiStorm, the suspect, Jackson Cosko, was most recently a Legislative Correspondent for @SenatorHassan. (Hassan also had the intern who yelled 'F you!' to Pres Trump in June) pic.twitter.com/jDNWyPVSRV

This guy is in huge trouble, and the idiot must not have been very good at tech stuff because if he had been, he’d know that those kinds of attacks can be easily sourced by an investigation. Enjoy jail, pal!!
And even if Waters wasn’t directly involved, under liberal rules, its her rhetoric that lead directly to this attack and she needs to be denounced for it by every Democrat…
Update: Here’s more from the Hill.
U.S. Capitol Police on Wednesday arrested a suspect for allegedly “doxing” one or more GOP senators by posting their private information online.
The suspect, 27-year-old Jackson Cosko of Washington, D.C., has been charged with publicizing restricted personal information, witness tampering, second-degree burglary, threatening interstate communications, unauthorized use of a government computer, identity theft, and unlawful entry, according to a Wednesday press release.
The Capitol Police declined to answer The Hill’s requests for comment.
Reports emerged last week someone from within the U.S. House of Representatives had posted the home addresses and personal cellphone numbers of GOP Sens. Orrin Hatch (Utah), Mike Lee (Utah) and Lindsey Graham (S.C.) on Wikipedia.
The anonymous Wikipedia edits were made as the three senators questioned Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last Thursday.
Too bad he isn’t Republican, then you’d see twice as many headlines about it…
