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.

I grew up near there. Once the DC beltway couldn’t handle the population, the Rats overflowed to WVa. Its been downhill since. Haven’t been back since my fathers funeral. But considering the type of people there, I am NOT surprised but thought it would be a local. and the Big Guy probably got his cut too( as a campaign contribution)
The towels on their foreheads conceal the electrical burns from being given the Chair.
Wiki :
“Nebraska introduced a new electrocution protocol in 2004, which called for the administration of a 15-second application of current at 2,450 volts; after a 15-minute wait, an official then checks for signs of life.
“In April 2007, new concerns raised regarding the 2004 protocol resulted in the ushering in of the current Nebraska protocol, calling for a 20-second application of current at 2,450 volts.
“Prior to the 2004 protocol change, an initial eight-second application of current at 2,450 volts was administered, followed by a one-second pause, then a 22-second application at 480 volts. After a 20-second break, the cycle was repeated three more times.”
One execution took 15 minutes
Aldrich Ames, Robert Hanssen, Eddy Snowden all got away with it and lived - the later even managed to skip prison time after fleeing to China.
But was she at least vaccinated???
Surprised Hollywood hasn’t put out “Julius and Ethel - A Love Story” yet.

Not good without photos! A sub just doesn’t express the dirty deeds of these traitors.
This is disgusting.

Bring back DC executions.
Someone seems to be scrubbing sites, but https://www.facebook.com/diana.toebbe still has some footprints, including as an Upper School Teacher, The Key School, Annapolis (a self-described “progressive” school).
He worked for Naval Reactors. If you’ve ever had anything to do with the nuclear navy, you know what they do.
“Naval Reactors (NR), also known as the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program,[1] is an umbrella term for the U.S. government office that has comprehensive responsibility for the safe and reliable operation of the United States Navy’s nuclear propulsion program. A single entity, it has authority and reporting responsibilities within both the United States Department of the Navy (Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, OPNAV, and the Naval Sea Systems Command, NAVSEA) and the United States Department of Energy in its National Nuclear Security Administration.[2]”

At least there will be some new faces in the annual OPSEC training.
I wish we would return to justice where these people if convicted would be EXECUTED!!..... and don’t forget about Hillary????
That point - when they had stopped using the Chair in many states, but before it was entirely phased out by SCOTUS, crime and murder rates skyrocketed or seemed to without looking at damned statistics. Now of course, murder is common place because the worst that can happen is to get free room, board, medical, gyms entertainment for life.
Good points—we need a real deterrent for criminals—and I think I have an idea.
Mandatory Covid vaxxes for prisoners—including every booster as long as they are in prison.
In public. Not behind a prison wall. Optics, ya' know.
Big shock. /s
wonder if prisoners across our country are being forced to get the experimental shots to protect the rest of the population in jails...
Hang’em high.
