Waters also claimed that “the United States Capitol Police and our internal IT specialist have determined that the IP address in question does not belong to my office or anyone on my staff.

So who did it then? Waters concludes by saying that she will “ensure that the perpetrators will be revealed, and that they will be held legally liable for all of their actions that are destructive and dangerous to any and all members of my staff.”

The IP address used to “doxx” the Senators was quickly traced back to the House of Representatives…
