Social media presence littered with anti-Trump posts, support for BLM.
The husband and wife team facing espionage charges after they allegedly tried to sell stolen nuclear secrets to a foreign power have been revealed to be anti-Trump leftists.
Imagine my shock.
Diana Toebbe and Jonathan Toebbe were charged with violations of the Atomic Energy Act by federal prosecutors after they tried to sell nuclear-powered submarine secrets to someone who they thought was a representative of the unnamed foreign country.
In fact, the couple had been talking to an undercover FBI agent all along.
“The complaint charges a plot to transmit information relating to the design of our nuclear submarines to a foreign nation,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.
“The work of the FBI, Department of Justice prosecutors, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and the Department of Energy was critical in thwarting the plot charged in the complaint and taking this first step in bringing the perpetrators to justice.”
Jonathan Toebbe contacted the foreign government in April 2020 in an attempt to set up an arrangement to funnel restricted information, but that government immediately reported him to the FBI.
“The Toebbes received a $10,000 payment in cryptocurrency from the undercover agent as part of the investigation and made multiple “dead drops” to hand over the top-secret documents related to nuclear-powered warships,” reports Heavy, citing the criminal complaint.
It seems almost certain that part of the couple’s motivation, aside from money, was their far-left, Trump-hating politics.
Diana Toebbe’s Facebook and Twitter pages clearly indicate that she suffered from Trump Derangement Syndrome, retweeting numerous anti-Trump screeds.
------------ SNIP ------
If convicted, the couple face a maximum sentence of life in prison or death.
if it follows what happened this week
to the last traitor,
they will get unsupervised probation for a year.
I commented earlier on this story as another FBI sting operation, but looks like I was wrong. These folks sent in stuff on their own and then it got turned over to the FBI. I wonder who the country is? If I had to guess, it was Canada.
all they have to say is they hate Trump, and members of antifa, and they’ll be free in seconds.
Old fashioned justice - execute them!!
So I gotta wonder.
I hate spies and think they should be hanged - the good ol’ way where they are hauled up kicking and thrashing to strangle slowly.
But what are the chances the FBI staged another entrapment? Encouraged them, found them the means, etc?

Could be nut it also could be one of our adversaries.................
Karma
Yet another product of the deep state and the media’s intense desire to divide the country and make trump appear to be an evil villain and an existential threat.
People like this use that fanaticism for an anti-america jihad. Excused and justified to burn cities and sell secrets.
Trump may be out of office, but the seeds of media fueled hate are still germinating.
I am unaware of any leftist who isn't anti-Trump.
I'm not going to hold my breath. Probably get a slap on the wrist, then back to his job.
I’d guess a country like India or Brazil, but who knows?
How will this couple's sentence compare to that?

It was under the Truman administration that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted and sentenced to be executed for betraying the United States by giving classified information on nuclear weapons and other military information to the Communists.
Under the current traitorous Demonicrat kakistocracy, Jonathan and Diana Toebbe will likely receive Presidential medals for betraying the United States.
A glimpse into the minds of liberal scum.
Their hate of Trump is so great that they would sell military secrets and help our enemies. the same enemies who will strike at us when the time is right.
These people have simply lost the ability to think rationally.
Big Guy Brandon, didn’t get his 10%! So FBI was called in.
Nah. Really?
Liberals by definition hate America. Even if just for money they don’t mind sabotaging it.
Likely they will get a ticker tape parade in any liberal college town.
