That “fine individual” who doxxed several GOP Senators recently is in the news again. Yeah, I’m talking about Lil’ Pencil Neck himself – Jackson Cosko.<\/p>\n

Original reporting indicated that Cosko was an “unpaid intern” working for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX). Indeed, it seems Rep. Lee herself has referred to Cosko as an unpaid intern working in her office.<\/p>\n

Well, Rep. Lee can say<\/i> whatever she wants. But it appears that the truth is somewhat different.<\/p>\n

Per this article<\/i><\/a> from The Daily Wire<\/i>, Cosko was far from being an unpaid intern. Instead, prior to being “fired” by Rep. Lee he was what is termed a “fellow” – e.g., he was being paid by an “outside institution” to work in her office<\/i>. <\/p>\n

Further, the same Daily Wire<\/i> article indicates that Cosko’s responsibilities while working for Lee were far different that that of a typical copier operator\/coffee and snack gofer<\/del> intern. Specifically, per correspondence from Lee’s office Cosko “was routinely trusted to advise Lee and communicate with other members of Congress, specifically those co-sponsoring Lee’s bills.”<\/p>\n

But that’s no big deal. All Members of Congress routinely let unpaid interns do that on their behalf, right? (I hope the sarcasm here is obvious.)<\/p>\n

The obvious question: what is the name of that “outside institution” which was paying Cosko – and who was providing the money to pay him?<\/p>\n

For some reason, an old advertising jingle with modified lyrics just came to mind; it seems somewhat apropos. <\/p>\n

This baloney has a first name
\nStarts G-E-O-R-G
\nI’m sure it has a second name
\nWhat could that name be?<\/i><\/p>\n

I could hazard a guess, but I’ll pass for now. But my guess is probably the same as many of yours – and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if that turns out to be the case.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned. This could get really<\/i> interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
