"Rising Democrat Star" Arrested for Covertly Filming Two Political Opponents Having Sex to Blackmail Them

This is the Democrat-Antifa-Media Party.

A Maryland state senator once seen as a rising Democrat star is facing explosive allegations that she conspired to secretly record and blackmail her political critics. Federal prosecutors have charged State Sen. Dalya Attar, her brother Joseph "Yossi" Attar, and Baltimore Police Officer Kalman Finkelstein with conspiracy, extortion, illegal wiretapping, and violations of the Travel Act -- a slate of federal offenses that could bring decades in prison if convicted.
According to a newly unsealed 20-page federal indictment, Attar and her co-defendants allegedly set up hidden cameras disguised as smoke detectors inside an apartment belonging to two of Attar's critics -- one of them a former campaign consultant who had worked on her 2018 campaign but later supported her political rivals. The second target was reportedly in a romantic relationship with the consultant and married to someone else at the time. Prosecutors say the trio not only filmed the pair in bed together but used the footage to intimidate them into silence.
Investigators claim the covert operation was designed to protect Attar's political standing as she eyed re-election and higher office. WhatsApp messages cited in the indictment suggest the senator herself discussed the scheme and its potential leverage. "We have a very easy ... simple way to get her to just shut up and leave us alone," Attar allegedly wrote in one message. "She's worried about her kids' shidduchim." In another message, she added, "I'm not saying we leak this anywhere or ever do that ... but I'm saying we warn her ... 'If you go ahead and screw with me, we're going to leak it.'"
The intimidation campaign allegedly escalated in December 2021, when Joseph Attar met one of the victims at a Baltimore shopping center and issued a chilling threat: "I have hours of footage of you in bed with [Victim 1] ... Go to [Victim 1] and say leave Dalya alone ... or I'll share this video with everyone you know -- every Rabbi in town, your kids, your wife, her daughters." Federal prosecutors say the threats continued into 2022 as Attar's team sought to keep both victims quiet ahead of her re-election effort. To cover their tracks, the indictment alleges, the defendants coordinated through encrypted WhatsApp messages and routinely deleted their communications.
Attar, a Democrat and former Baltimore prosecutor, was first elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 2018 and appointed to the state Senate in January 2025. She had been viewed as an emerging figure within Maryland's Orthodox Jewish community, where she built a reputation as a tough prosecutor and vocal progressive on local issues.

Bonus: Kamala Harris shares the heart-breaking moment when she learned she had lost the presidential race. She said there were 200,000 votes she needed to win that her campaign manager "couldn't find."

She uses the same word -- "find" -- that Fatty Fanny Funstuff claimed proved a criminal intent to order Georgia's election officials to fake the vote. Seems like it's a normal bit of campaign jargon.

Kamala says she thought she was going to win, and went into a “state of shock” on election night when she realized she was done.

* Firefighters alerted a battalion chief that areas of a New Year's Day fire in Pacific Palisades, known as the Lachman fire, were still smoldering the next day, according to text messages.
* The firefighters were ordered to pack up and leave anyway, instead of monitoring the burn area for reignitions.
* Federal authorities say the blaze reignited on Jan. 7, destroying thousands of homes and killing 12 people.
Firefighters mopping up a small brush fire that authorities say reignited as the Palisades fire five days later were ordered to leave the original burn scene even though they complained the ground was still smoldering and rocks remained hot to the touch, according to firefighter text messages reviewed by The Times.
To the firefighters' surprise, their battalion chief ordered them to roll up their hoses and pull out of the area on Jan. 2 -- the day after the 8-acre blaze was declared contained -- rather than stay and make sure there were no hidden embers that could spark a new fire, the text messages said.
On the morning of Jan. 7, according to federal authorities, strong winds stoked the remnants of the New Year's Day blaze into the firestorm that killed 12 people and destroyed thousands of homes in Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Topanga.
In one text message, a firefighter who was at the scene on Jan. 2 wrote that the battalion chief had been told it was a "bad idea" to leave the burn scar unprotected because of the visible signs of smoldering terrain. "And the rest is history," the firefighter wrote in recent weeks.

As we ask every single day: If they were doing this all deliberately, how would their actions look any different?

They were planning on doing a repeat of 2020, but the 2024 election wasn't close enough to steal.

Remember, Kamala's undelivered Election Night speech said that the election was very close, and that it was going to take days and days to count the votes, and that no one should assume who the winner was until all the votes had been counted.

Wikipedia:

Attar was born fourth of six children to an Iranian-Jewish father and a Moroccan-Jewish mother.[1] She was raised as a Sephardi Orthodox Jew in Baltimore,[2] where she attended the Bais Yaakov School for Girls.[3] Attar later graduated from the University of Baltimore, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in criminal justice in 2011, and the University of Maryland, Baltimore, where she earned her Juris Doctor degree in 2014.[4]
While attending the University of Baltimore, Attar worked as a paralegal for Greenspan, Hitzel & Schrader until 2015, when she became a trial attorney for the firm.[5] In the same year, she also began working as an assistant state's attorney in the Baltimore State's Attorney office, prosecuting narcotics and firearms cases.

Another perspective (I am not sure which way I lean) is that civilization is a very fragile thing. It is like a complex machine that requires 70 or 80% of society to all act in controlled and positive ways. Any small deviation from the prescribed boundaries is OK until they build up past that limit and then it all turns to shit.

This is my inclination too. I have not checked the emails closely, but there are always complications.

When this first got revealed a few weeks ago, I asked about thermal monitoring. Well now they are saying their IR sensors only detect about a foot deep, (Which I am sure is deep enough but they claim no.) and that makes me think that maybe they did not even bother checking.

Also drones with IR, or satellite services. ...
I said back then that in Japan the firemen drive around town on windy days telling people to mind their cooking stoves. Really they are just looking for fires to detect them as early as possible. LA has other ideas.

Posted by: Elric the Blade at October 31, 2025 05:42 PM (rPdgs)

And you assume any such order was not. Oh please. Why do you assume such ?

After we've seen FEMA skip certain houses because of their political affiliation. After we saw the shit in Ohio where a chemical spill was just allowed to roll on ?

You have this thing. Its a common thing. Where you just stubbornly - I'd say belligerently - insist entities function for the common good.

You're naive.

How about you read my fucking comments and actually understand them before saying dumb retarded shit in response? If you actually read my comment, and can understand English, you’ll see that I assumed nothing. I said I’ll wait for the facts to come out. It was you who foolishly assumed any order was given. This is a stupid argument and I’m bored with you. Bye!

150 A congresscrittwr a real job? Ummm yeah... During my evil corporate lobbyist days the laziest job I saw on the Hill was being a congresscritter. The staffers/slaves do all of the work.

151 I have a pretty cool set-up this year for trick or treaters. Houses here are not close, so every year parents get together and decide on a trick or treat night (tonight obviously)...and then the parents drive them house to house. If you're participating you put something out at the passing road to indicate that you are.

Me? I set up a table out at the road (my driveway is 1/4 mile long through the woods). Years back I bought one of those tire store dancing characters (where you run a fan underneath and it dances). I dressed it up like a witch and really is quite disturbing when it dances. I have black lights in the woods, and an old boombox playing a Halloween tape (which I go out and switch sides sporadically). Table is all lit up with plastic pumpkins filled with candy, fruit, and... drinks (non-alcoholic). My security camera chimes every time someone comes by, and I can talk to them through the speaker.

It's been fun. At least 20 kids so far. I might need to restock pretty soon....although these are country kids with manners, and they aren't hording.

153 Thats when I realized there were no more kids in the neighborhood and it had become a wax museum.

There was an original Twilight Zone episode that was somewhat similar to that plot.

154 Thats what happened at my old house. Started with maybe 20-30 kids, and over the years it dwindled to a handful, then just one little girl and her mom for a few years, then eventually nothing for the last few years in that house. Thats when I realized there were no more kids in the neighborhood and it had become a wax museum.

It's what happens when a neighborhood is built and families with kids move in and age together. Then the kids go away but their parents age in place.

We're seeing the last of the 'founders' move out and there is surge of little kids roaming about. Whether the show up is another story...

156 SCOTUS really needs to issue a proclamation that SCOTUS itself is the only court that has equal power standing with the President, and that all other courts have NO STANDING to challenge Presidential executive orders, or use of the powers of the Presidency, and if a judge wants to, that judge can petition SCOTUS for a hearing.

+++++

It is ludicrous to believe that Congress can create a court two echelons below SCROTUS where a judge can arbitrarily "veto" a Presidential action, a power Congress itself does not have can not deligate.

Sure, they can collectively impeach, but no one legislator has the power to block anything POTUS does.

I would like this judicial activist fucktard to explain to me, using very small words, how requiring an affirmation of citizenship, for an activity constitutionally restricted to citizens, is not allowed.

You can break out the handpuppets if necessary.

I'll wait.

We're on a dead-end street with 4 houses, 3 houses retired old people like us.

Big bowl of candy on the porch with a help yourself sign, lol.

Our dogs go nuts when the doorbell rings.

Hopefully someone will steal all the candy and we can turn off the porch lights.

As an LGTBQ+ immigrant of color, it is against the law to ask uncomfortable questions, such as "are you a citizen?" or "why does your crotch smell like dog food?"

Yup, that was the trend. My neighbors eventually got old and died, next to me, across the street from me, down the street from me, all gone. Their kids sold the houses to younger couples. The people who bought my house had a 2 year old, so it seems like it was slowly rebuilding.

173 162- my parents used to let us pick out some number of pieces (5 or 10) from our stash and the rest got dumped into a communal candy jar (with a big glass lid that was impossible to open or close without a loud “clank”- no sneaking). Then we got to pick out a piece or two while it lasted. Come January it was all sweet tarts and those waxy chew candies.

174 Sweet tarts are the Kaboom! of Halloween candy.

175 The cop in that blackmail scheme? Related to the State Senator. Became a cop in his mid 40's. Months after getting job as a cop, he planted the cameras for the blackmail.

I suspect that he actually joined the police for this very purpose.
