Politico congressional reporter Burgess Everett reported Thursday that somebody was doxxing GOP senators (posting personal information like their home addresses and phone numbers online) during SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s hearing, and apparently doing it from a computer inside the Capitol.
Someone is doxxing GOP senators on a computer from the House of Representatives, began shortly after the Graham speech. I'm not going to retweet the account where this is posted.

THAT is a violation of at least 3 Federal Statutes, not to mention being a threat against sitting members of Congress. The FBI needs to get on that system NOW and find out who did it so they can be fired and charged.

I think @TheDemocrats should be asking for an FBI investigation, don't you think?

I would love to take a look at the WIKI log for those entries. They have to log details such as the IP and MAC addresses of the system and account that performed the edit.

Caleb Hull is confirming the story.
Heartless people just doxxed Orrin Hatch while he was speaking and his poor wife has been receiving calls nonstop ON HER BIRTHDAY and their home address was made public.
This is how low they will go. Absolutely disgusting.

Somebody working from a House of Representatives office is editing the Wikipedia pages of Republican senators to post what looks like their home addresses.
Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and both Mike Lee and Orrin Hatch of Utah all had their home addresses posted online. It is called doxxing, and it is despicable.

This is how you sway people against your cause, no matter how righteoustly indignant you are.
It's why Trump won, and may win again. https://t.co/ypew56ONOW

This is gross. Don't do this to anyone. ANYONE!
This nation needs a moment of mass introspection. I don't care how you feel about your political opponents. This is not appropriate behavior. https://t.co/OAfUi32Q19
