One theory I saw was that it’s France, they cooperated with the investigation, and that’s why they were so pissed off about the Australian deal.

France is an ally. I believe this idiot was stupid enough to hand it off to Russians, or try to, like that girl who stole Nancy Pelosi's laptop during the Jan. 6th riots.

The court papers say that in December 2020, an FBI official received a package that had been sent to the foreign country containing U.S. Navy documents, a letter and instructions for how to conduct encrypted communications with the person offering the information.

The letter in the package said: “I apologize for this poor translation into your language. 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.”

It’s not Russia or China. The foreign country handed the package over to an FBI legal attaché in that country, which neither China nor Russia would do. The FBI also got assistance from the country’s embassy here, which neither Russia nor China would do.

Fascinating. Probably Israel.

But why send it to France in the first place? Seems more likely to be a country that’s not someone we would think of as a close ally but that’s close enough to turn him over to us.

That country didn't turn him over. The idiot sent the package to an undercover U.S. FBI agent by mistake. Presumably someone with embassy connections or connected to it in some way.

Yes, they did. From NYT:

“ According to the court documents, the investigation into the Toebbes began in December, when the F.B.I. obtained a package that had been sent to another country with operational manuals, technical details and an offer to establish a covert relationship. The package was intercepted in the other country’s mail system and sent to an F.B.I. legal attaché. The agency has such attachés in 63 countries.”

$100K is not that much money to throw your child’s life away.

He'd been planning to sell state secrets for years though...the first letter that was intercepted was mailed in April 2020. And did a dead-drop in June 2020. Again well before Trump lost.

Bye-bye to their middle-class lifestyle.



Toebbe, 42, has worked since 2012 for the Navy. He and his wife, 45, live in Annapolis, Md., where she works as a high school humanities teacher. They were arrested after they allegedly placed another data card at a secret dead-drop site. After the arrest, their home was searched by FBI agents and Navy investigators, according to officials.

In total, Toebbe allegedly provided thousands of pages of documents, and officials said his espionage ambitions had been building for years.

“The information was slowly and carefully collected over several years in the normal course of my job to avoid attracting attention and smuggled past security checkpoints a few pages at a time,” Toebbe allegedly wrote to the foreign country, adding that he no longer had access to classified data but could answer any technical questions the foreign country might have.

He and his HS teacher wife are really going to enjoy that maximum security lock-up. The FBI had evidence he planned this over years. His execution was stupid but his clear guilt is undeniable.

Did they not think this through? Their kid will be raised by someone for the rest of its life, that's if a kind family agrees to adopt it, and they will be in prison as traitors.

I wonder if it was worth it to be the new Rosenbergs?

Jonathan and Diana will have to tell us.

Authorities say Jonathan Toebbe, who has a top-secret clearance, “has passed, and continues to pass, Restricted Data as defined by the Atomic Energy Act . . . to a foreign government . . . with the witting assistance of his spouse, Diana Toebbe,” according to a criminal complaint filed in West Virginia and unsealed Sunday.

That story is completely bonkers. So curious to know which country.

So who knows them? Come on, DCUM, give us the inside scoop. He was a Navy nuclear engineer and she seems to be an official at the tony Key School in Annapolis.
