Second ex-Senate staffer charged in aiding doxxing of GOP senators

 

A second ex-aide to Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) has been charged in connection with the leaking of Republican senators’ personal information during Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings last year, according to Politico.

 

Samantha Deforest Davis was charged Wednesday with evidence tampering and aiding and abetting computer fraud, according to the publication, and is expected to plead guilty to the two misdemeanors.

 

Another former aide to Hassan, Jackson Cosko, is facing more than four years in prison after he pleaded guilty to felony charges involving copying sensitive data and publishing the home addresses and phone numbers of Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah), as well as then-Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah).

Schiff dismisses GOP concerns on Steele dossier as foreign influence as 'whataboutism'

 

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told the Washington Examiner it was wrong for supporters of the president to respond to Trump saying last week that “there’s nothing wrong with listening” to information from a foreign government during a campaign by comparing that with the Democratic National Committee-funded Fusion GPS hiring British ex-spy Christopher Steele to compile a dossier using Kremlin sources during the presidential election.

 

When asked if he considers the dossier to be foreign influence in any way, Schiff said he didn't think there’s "any equivalence between hiring an American opposition research firm — even one that hires a former British intelligence officer to do some of its opposition research — and having direct contact with people in the Russian government to get dirt on your opponent as part of what’s described as that foreign nation’s effort to help your campaign.”

 

“That seems to me very different qualitatively and far more problematic,” Schiff said, describing efforts to compare the two as "whataboutism."
