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.

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.

Give them the Rosenberg treatment.
The Falcon and the Snow Girl?
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Or in their brochures at DNC HQ.
Bigly Big Time.
Rosenberg them
Not surprisingly, the treasonous wife is an anti-trump, anti-American leftist.
Walker and son, redux? (sorta)
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.
Her facebook is exactly what you’d expect. Purple hair and lots of rainbows.

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.
