Navy Nuclear Engineer And Wife Charged With Selling U.S. Nuclear Secrets (They Also Ruined Peanut Butter) – The Lid

Sometimes the acts of people in the news hurt the people’s perceptions of everyday products and activities.  After the news about Bubba Clinton and Monica came out, I stopped asking friends to pick me up a good Cuban Cigar on their way back from Canada. For a while, after the  O.J. Simpson murder trial, I could play golf without people asking me if I was searching for the real killers, and the weak coverage of Joe Biden by the M.S.M. makes my stomach churn every time I look at ice cream.  Now a married couple who were arrested trying to sell America’s nuclear submarine secrets may have ruined peanut butter sandwiches, my favorite lunch.   

Jonathan Toebbe and his wife Diana are charged with attempting to sell U.S. submarine nuclear secrets to a foreign power. On Saturday, they were arrested by the F.B.I. and NCIS in West Virginia.  The couple lives in  Annapolis, MD, and are charged with violations of the Atomic Energy Act [42 U.S.C. § 2014(y) Communication of Restricted Data]. The full D.O.J. complaint can be read here. Jonathan Toebbe was a U.S. Navy nuclear engineer with access to restricted data. They are both set for their first appearance on Tuesday in Martinsburg, WV.
