A Democratic state senator from Maryland is accused of orchestrating a scheme to secretly record two critics — including a former campaign consultant — in bed together and then using the footage to threaten and silence them, according to a newly unsealed federal indictment.
Federal prosecutors say Maryland State Senator Dalya Attar, her brother Joseph "Yossi" Attar, and Baltimore Police Officer Kalman Finkelstein secretly filmed the pair during an intimate encounter, then used the recording to intimidate them into silence.

Maybe she thought she’d never get caught like so many on the left. A career limiting move however.

She is another one screwing her brother Yossi Attar. Take that to the bank.
Two critics filmed in bed together cannot hold back their opinion of the film. From the critics:
“We were good together. Must see footage for ones possessing a savvy political outlook”.
“An emotionally fractured woman tweaks her performance in search of love for her present entanglement”.

That’s the antifia way to sway opinion.
