OMG: The Wealthy, Well-Connected Family of the Senate Aide Who Maliciously Leaked the Home Addresses and Information About the Children of Republican Senators Convinces Judge to Let Him Off With No Penalty; They'll Just Privately Supervise Him

Do you want a revolution?

Because you are now officially begging for a revolution.

The former Senate aide accused of doxxing Republicans during Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing allegedly possessed troves of information, including Senate data, court proceedings indicate.

The suspect is the son of a wealthy family with ties to Dianne Feinstein, the Senate Judiciary Committee’s top Democrat. Republicans suggested she timed a leak about sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh to harm his confirmation chances.

The court barred the media from hearing details about the alleged breach, and said the case is slated to be resolved with a plea deal April 5.

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.

This is getting to be literally unbearable -- it cannot be borne any longer.

Raise hell.

Let them know they are drawing very near to the very edge.

(Stomping intended -- I thought I should mention the last update but that was the third Smollett story of the day; not a lot left to comment on about it. It's corrupt. Some Big Names in the Democrat Party may be involved. Not much more to say for now.)
