Former Navy Nuclear Engineer and Wife Arrested on Espionage Charges

Paul Bois 10 Oct 2021

A former Navy nuclear engineer who reportedly had access to military secrets has been charged with trying to pass classified information to a foreign government.

According to court documents unsealed on Sunday, the Department of Justice charged Jonathan Toebbe and his wife, Diana Toebbe, with violating the Atomic Energy Act by allegedly trying to pass along secrets pertaining to the designs of U.S. nuclear submarines. Toebbe reportedly had never actually been in contact with a foreign government and “unwittingly communicated with FBI agents and passed along sensitive military secrets, in a scheme that stretched nearly a year,” reports National Public Radio (NPR):

    The 42-year-old former lieutenant in the Navy and his wife, 45, sold restricted information “concerning the design of nuclear-powered warships” to someone they believed was a representative of an unnamed foreign power, according to federal law enforcement officials.

    The FBI picked up on Toebbe’s attempts to reach a foreign agent just after he had left the Navy, according to court records.

Navy nuclear engineer's wife arrested for selling secrets appears to support BLM, 'resistance' movements
Diana Toebbe's Facebook account has numerous BLM, feminism and anti-Trump posts

The Facebook account appearing to belong to the woman who was charged alongside her Navy nuclear engineer husband with selling secret information about nuclear submarines to an undercover FBI agent is filled with liberal talking points on the Black Lives Matter movement and feminism.

Fox News examined what appears to be Diana Toebbe’s Facebook page, Twitter account and Instagram page, and found repeated posts supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, including a profile picture reading, "Black Lives Matter," and a post last year celebrating the social media protest against racism called "#blackouttuesday."

Jonathan and Diana Toebbe were arrested Saturday in West Virginia, according to a criminal complaint detailing espionage-related charges. The government said Jonathan Toebbe sold information for nearly the past year to a contact he believed represented a foreign power, but was actually an undercover FBI agent.

Ooooh no!!!!  More fake news.  Milley and Austin have assured the world only conservative white "domestic terrorists" are of concern to the military.  These two obviously are not conservatives.

BLM founders were on YouTube claiming to be "trained Marxists", so no surprise these folks are on the wrong side on other issues as well.
