Buffalo_Gal Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 On 3/26/2019 at 6:19 PM, Buffalo_Gal said: Link to story A former Senate aide charged with doxxing Republican senators and extorting a witness reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors in Washington after his wealthy and well-connected family brought in experts to talk about his mental health and the private supervision they could provide him. A judge signaled that Jackson Cosko had allegedly taken large quantities of sensitive information from the Senate, but banned media from hearing the details. A hearing had been scheduled for Thursday, but on Tuesday, the court canceled it and indicated that a deal had been struck behind the scenes. A plea agreement hearing, where the deal is to be officially signed, was set for April 5. </snip> “I own EVERYTHING,” Cosko told a Hassan aide who caught him in the act, according to prosecutors. “If you tell anyone I will leak it all. Emails, signal conversations, gmails.” Information revealed in court since then suggested that might not have been a bluff. U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan on Jan. 24 said Cosko allegedly possessed terabytes of information, including Senate data so sensitive that it could not be discussed in open court. “He downloaded more information than was originally understood. There is no combination of conditions that could ensure the safety of the community,” Hogan said in December 2018. </snip> On 4/5/2019 at 9:18 PM, Buffalo_Gal said: From the article (it is worth the read) </snip> The theft occurred after Cosko was fired from Hassan’s office in May 2018 for undisclosed reasons, then hired by Democratic Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, giving him access to the House computer network. He repeatedly sneaked into her office late at night and gathered dozens of gigabytes of data including: • dozens of usernames and passwords belonging to Senate employees • tens of thousands of emails and internal documents • credit card information belonging to Senate employees • social security numbers belonging to Senate employees • personally identifying information belonging to hundreds of other persons (presumably constituents) • private phone numbers and home addresses of senators In October 2018, he used information stolen from Hassan’s office to doxx Republican Utah Sens. Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee as well as Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham. Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul later called for punishing the then-unknown offender. Cosko then doxxed Paul and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. “The defendant published that information maliciously, with the intent to intimidate the Senators,” the plea agreement says. </snip> Cosko pleaded guilty to five felonies including witness intimidation and obstruction of justice. The maximum sentence was 55 years in prison, but guidelines call for three to four years. He agreed not to seek a term shorter than two years as part of the plea agreement. He could also face a fine of up to $200,000 and possible restitution to Hassan’s office. </snip> The suspect’s father, Greg Cosko, is the CEO of Hathaway Dinwiddie, a construction company that built a university building named after Feinstein’s husband. He serves on the board of San Francisco State University alongside Willie Brown, the California politician who said he helped make the career of Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris, with an illicit affair. </snip> Oddly, searches for his name and his actual sentence (which may not have happened yet) have turned up almost nuthin' on the intertubes. Follow-up: • A former Democratic congressional aide who doxxed Republican senators during a confirmation hearing for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh will be sentenced to prison Wednesday. • Former computer administrator Jackson Cosko carried out what prosecutors said was the largest known data theft in Senate history and used it to blackmail a witness, to plot to extort a senator and to threaten others. • He left operational spy devices on the Senate network that went undetected by police even after he was arrested and his plot was discovered, prosecutors said. • Prosecutors are seeking to make an example of Cosko for criminally attacking people who disagreed with him politically, citing a rise in such incidents. </snip> Prosecutors asked for nearly five years in prison for Cosko, a onetime congressional IT aide to Hassan. Cosko admitted he stole the New Hampshire Democrat’s data out of revenge for being fired, then used it to doxx Republicans during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings. “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,” prosecutors wrote. New details emerged in their sentencing memo that made the case of Cosko — the Bernie Sanders-supporting son of a millionaire San Francisco developer with ties to California Sen. Dianne Feinstein and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — even more shocking. A second Hassan staffer who was friends with Cosko served as his accomplice in exchange for rent money helped him physically break into the office at night and pilfer internal emails even after he was fired, prosecutors’ sentencing memo shows. </snip> 1

Tiberius Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Good for Kavanaugh! Being black and caught in the criminal justice system must be like being trapped in a Kafka novel! https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/courts_law/supreme-court-overturns-mississippi-mans-murder-conviction-in-case-that-raised-questions-of-racial-bias-orders-new-trial/2019/06/21/6fc1b2d8-942d-11e9-b570-6416efdc0803_story.html?utm_term=.c3cd5a25ab3d Quote The Supreme Court on Friday reversed the most recent conviction of a Mississippi man who has been tried an extraordinary six times for a quadruple murder in 1996, finding that a white prosecutor once again had improperly kept African Americans off the jury. The decision was 7 to 2, with Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh writing the majority opinion. He said the ruling dismissing the conviction and death sentence of Curtis Flowers, who is black, broke no new legal ground but reinforced the court’s prior rulings about how prosecutorial bias in jury selection violates the Constitution. Kavanaugh said District Attorney Doug Evans used his allotted challenges to strike 41 of 42 black prospective jurors. “The state’s relentless, determined effort to rid the jury of black individuals strongly suggests that the state wanted to try Flowers before a jury with as few black jurors as possible, and ideally before an all-white jury,” Kavanaugh wrote, adding: “We cannot ignore that history.”
