He and his wife Diana, a teacher at a progressive private school, have been charged with violating the Atomic Energy Act&#8217;s prohibition on sharing nuclear secrets.<\/p>\n<p>The couple was busted by federal agents after delivering a memory card to a dead drop location in south-central Pennsylvania. They had allegedly proposed a payment of $100,000 in cryptocurrency in exchange for providing information to the foreign country, which has yet to be revealed.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Times<\/em> report described Ms. Toebbe as a &#8220;strong feminist and very liberal&#8221; academic who was &#8220;taken aback&#8221; by former president Donald Trump&#8217;s election in 2016, and &#8220;mentioned several times that she was considering moving to Australia.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Toebbe&#8217;s radicalization as a member of the anti-Trump #Resistance appears to have been a significant factor in compelling her to betray the United States. &#8220;She said she couldn&#8217;t stand the current state of politics,&#8221; one of her former students told the <em>Times<\/em>, which found no evidence that the couple was in financial distress, suggesting an alternative motive for their actions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politics &#8216;Strong feminist and very liberal&#8217; teacher threatened to move to Australia after 2016 election, New York Times reports  Andrew Stiles \u2022 October 12, 2021 2:30 &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-871598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=871598"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871598\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=871598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=871598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=871598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
