Navy engineer, wife accused of trying to sell nuclear submarine secrets
The New York Post ^ | October 10, 2021 | Mark Moore

A Navy nuclear engineer and his wife from Maryland were busted for trying to sell confidential information about US nuclear-powered submarines to a foreign country, using memory cards hidden inside a peanut butter sandwich and a Band-Aid wrapper to transmit the secrets, according to court documents.

Jonathan Toebbe, who worked at the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program and had a top-secret security clearance, and his wife, Diana, were busted Saturday in Jefferson County, W.Va., accused by the FBI for violating the Atomic Energy Act, the Justice Department said on Sunday.

Toebbe, 42, “has passed, and continues to pass, Restricted Data as defined by the Atomic Energy Act … with the witting assistance of his spouse,” the criminal complaint alleges.

The espionage investigation began in December 2020 when an FBI official received a package sent to a foreign country that contained Navy documents, a desire to begin a “covert relationship” and instructions on using “encrypted communications.”

“Please forward this letter to your military intelligence agency. I believe this information will be of great value to your nation. This is not a hoax,” a note inside the package with the return address of PIttsburgh said.

Wonder if they were planning on giving 10% to the “Big Guy”?

Every 4th grade lunch lady knows this move, Johnny.

Wow is this guy stupid. If one ever needs to transfer secrets to a foreign power, just contact the Democrats. They have them all on speed dial. Most likely the Democrats already gave the American enemies the secrets on their normal email alerts.

Not surprisingly, the treasonous wife is an anti-trump, anti-American leftist.

These people are in big trouble now.

The Bidens, the 0bamas and the Clintons are not about to allow any competition in the selling of military secrets.

>> and instructions on using “encrypted communications.”

Good grief... obviously not familiar with the fundamental “man” in the middle.

They could’ve just asked General Milley, I’m sure he would’ve just given it away no questions asked.
