Sam Brinton is in a heap of trouble. The Department of Energy official was caught on camera stealing another suitcase in Las Vegas and now faces charges for stealing baggage from two airports.
Biden Energy Official Busted For Baggage Theft At Second Airport, This Time In Las Vegas
35-year-old Brinton, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition, has now been accused of a second baggage heist, this time a name-brand suitcase at a Las Vegas airport filled with valuables.
CCTV footage shows Brinton walking through Harry Reid International Airport with the stolen bag. The $320 Away-branded bag was allegedly filled with over $3,000 worth of items including jewelry, makeup, and clothes.
After landing on a United Airlines flight from Washington Dulles (IAD) to Las Vegas (LAS), a woman waited for her bag on the baggage belt. After she could not find it but United showed it had been unloaded, she filed a stolen suitcase report with airport police.
That led police to pull up CCTV footage, where Brinton was found walking away with the suitcase. Police made the positive match thanks to a unique shirt Brinton was wearing that matched a shirt posted on Instagram earlier from the United Airlines gate area between the C and D gates at Washington Dulles.
The footage revealed that Brinton checked the tag and looked around before taking the bag according to the police report:
“Specifically, Brinton pulled the victim’s luggage from the carousel and examined the tag. Then placed it back on the carousel, looking in all directions for anyone who might be watching, or might approach. Pulling it back off the carousel and demonstrating the same behavior by looking around before walking away with it quickly.”
Brinton uses the pronouns “they” and “them” and identifies as non-binary, marking the first such high-ranking individual in U.S. government history. Thus far, the Department of Energy has placed Brinton on leave, but stopped short of termination.
CONCLUSION
This is a sad matter. As a high-profile public figure, Brinton’s downfall will be used as a political weapon and a lynchpin for social division. Hopefully, Brinton will get the help needed to overcome what appears to be kleptomaniac tendencies.
He’s set the LGBTQ+ cause back considerably. Right wing social media is already using this to “own the liberals” and now will certainly double down on it. What a shame.
Liberals own themselves.
What an asinine comment.
Alphabet people set back their own causes because they enable child abuse/grooming and normalization of mental illness and attacks on women but TiMs and TiFs.
Evidence?
If you seriously need “evidence” you’ve been burying your head in the sand wayyyyyy too long.
Your thinking is similar to those who think that young people who “died suddenly” due to every cause possible except the C0v1d “vaccine” shot
Your lies kill. Straight people have done enough to screw up kids. Leave the letter people out of it. Your sick .
Here’s the truth about the right wing… the leaders love stories like this because it gives them someone to demonize. If they can get their anger filled followers to focus their pathetic hate and rage on someone like this guy, or minorities, or anyone else they think they are better than, then they don’t have to be accountable for the fact that they as a party have no vision for the future, no policy ideas other than tax breaks for wealthy, and no purpose other than antagonizing the left.
We don’t need stories we have statistics and they prove us right. Unlike you our ideology isn’t based on emotion or grievance politics.
Statistics you never produce
I find people who want statistics are intellectually lazy. Go find them yourselves or more importantly, stop only reading or watching the mainstream media sources that match your political ideology and do your own research.
Statistics say you are a moron, but I’m not going to give them to you. You are going to have to find them on your own because you’re lazy otherwise.
Jeez what an insanely idiotic argument. You’re saying I can claim that statistics say anything, but the onus is on the reader to verify that statement?
The real scandal isn’t about his lifestyle, gender, or sexual identity. The real scandal is that the Biden Administration hired him knowing he was crazy – because of, and not in spite of, his pathological behavior – and elevated him into a position which is allegedly of national importance and implicates public safety despite the fact that he’s not qualified (without PhD in Physics or any field or any relevant experience managing a large organization) over many vastly more qualified candidates who wouldn’t have given Biden an opportunity to distribute a political reward to his patrons. Let’s not get distracted by thinking this is about LGBTQ . . . this is a purely political scandal, and not remotely one revolving around sex or gender. It’s not about Brinton, but about Biden.
Well, this person did have a bachelors and masters in nuclear science and engineering. So he certainly knew something. Not phd sure, but certainly not a total igniramus with regards to nuclear issues.
A Masters might mean something in Social Work or Gender Studies, but I’m afraid it doesn’t mean much in the world of Nuclear Engineering. It’s just not a serious degree for a person leading a scientific regulatory agency, particularly when one is leading a staff of PhDs so that the putative Chief has fewer credentials than the Indians he leads.
…you could’ve applied your statement to Biden’s VP hiring as well…
Did you ask mother for approval before posting your message?
No…just yours
yeah. He’s much worse than Michael Flynn
He actually is.
Flynn is a hero.
Not at all.
Seriously – someone has to gall to compare a tr@ns klepto to Michael Flynn? unbelievable
LGBT is largely a physical illness / poisoning…and to a much lesser degree mental.
…microplastics in food chain/water (What are modern water distribution pipes made of anyway these days?), atrazine, soy/tofu, soybean oil everywhere in cooking /processed foods, EMF to weaken the system…the miniscule percent in the past can be linked to reincarnation and excessive pride.
It’s really better to shut up if you don’t study history in the slightest….day of reckoning coming within a decade.
And now for something completely different – its Monty Biden’s Flying Circus!
Imagine thinking that someone with such pronounced emotional issues is qualified to to do what he was doing.
Clearly he needs help and hopefully he gets it (I mean that sincerely).
But these days merely suggesting that someone get treatment for an obvious mental health issue makes you “hateful.”
Nothing to with mental health, just an idiot who steals stuff.
This is what the left wants to celebrate as the new “normal”.
Shameful.
The people of the middle-east are right.
It’s Las Vegas. Not Los Vegas.
Also I’m gay not LGBT. Frankly it should be Glbt and frankly maybe just G. I as gay don’t really see why I’m lumped with T. It’s totally different and I don’t feel any connection to T. Most people I know don’t either
That’s an interesting discussion that’s probably beyond the boundaries of tangential travel for the purposes of this blog. Do you ever read Andrew Sullivan?
I see him when I walk my dog and he’s walking his. We live in the same neighborhood. Well aware of him!
I didn’t know you lived in DC. I miss the District so much.
It’s great overall, but there are challenges here just like anywhere else.
Let’s get coffee next time you’re in town! I can show you some places.
Sure thing!
Matt, will you do a meet up next time you in DC?
I will consider it Mr. Justice.
Just like the above discussion is irrelevant to travel and beyond the boundaries of it as well. This type of “sensationalism “ doesn’t belong in a blog like this one. Shame, shame, shame!!!
Your own clickbait-y title of this piece betrays your claim not to want to be political about it. Any luggage thief should be prosecuted. Period.
The gay and lesbians are all that matter
Most B’s don’t even consider themselves Lgbt and the T’s are just mentally ill and an embarrassment.
So I’m with you up until the T part. I dont think they’re “mentally ill”, I just dont see why they’re lumped in with me and my bretheren. And they want vastly different things. I dont pretend to understand it fully, but I dont judge like that either.
@Matthew, just a thought. Do you see a future on this blog where we can register our name like on OMAAT? I post often, as do many others, and while I understand that there are a lot of people named Jerry, it’s a real shame seeing someone post transphobic stuff under my name. I know they’re not trying to imitate “ME,” but it would be cool if we could own our names.
Honestly, I was surprised to see that comment from “Jerry” and assumed it was you before seeing it was a different email address. I’m going to modify that name to avoid confusion.
I’ve read that many LG’s really don’t want to be tied into the rest of the “alphabet.”
As a card-carrying G, I can attest this is true. Privately, there’s a LOT of concern in the gay/lesbian community that a lot of the acceptance and rights we’ve earned in the last three decades is going to be undone by being lumped in with the Ts. We have very, very, very little in common, and the Ts are doing a terrible job ‘reading the room’ and understanding what society is ready to accept. They’re pushing to undo centuries of social norms in the space of a few years, and frankly, America isn’t ready.
Of course, we can’t say this out loud, because the one thing the Ts and their very vocal advocates are VERY good at is getting people canceled. But know there is a lot of angst in G and L circles right now about this.
I am also gay and agree almost 100%. I haven’t seen the angst, personally, that you mention, but I do hope you are right. The trans mess is out of control with groomers and indoctrinating minors, among many other concerns.
Angst also in the straight women circles. Lots of stuff written about that, and certainly causes quite a stir among some people, but there is absolutely a big contingent of women who have a major issue with some aspects of the particularly extreme versions of the T moment. I believe these women are called terfs (and to be fair, there are both L and straight in this group). It’s interesting.
As another card carrying G, I really don’t see what the issue is with trans people. Live and let live.
“Hopefully, Brinton will get the help needed to overcome what appears to be kleptomaniac tendencies.”
Help? No, Brinton needs jail. Brinton doesn’t appear to have an illness, Brinton appears to (allegedly) just be a simple crook.
Freak. Thief. Loser.
And the administration STILL hasn’t fired him? Proves time and time again that diversity hires are the top priority of this administration, no matter how dumb (VP) or degenerate (this one)
Not confirmed if fired or he left, but he’s no longer with DOE. They’ve confirmed.
The only help this criminal scumbag needs is a long prison stint.
This is a sad development. The man needs mental health help.
No, he doesn’t have mental health issues. Just a criminal who should be prosecuted.
The real crime here is naming the airport after Harry Reid, one of the biggest criminals and liars in government history.
It’s still McCarren to me and always will be.
As for this guy, no wonder I noticed a glory hole in a stall there last month.
they’ll be announcing the The Nancy Pelosi ‘For the People’ International Airport soon.
You ready for SFO = “Nancy Pelosi For The Children International Airport?”
oh yes, for the children, my mistake
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!! Well done sir.
“no wonder I noticed a glory hole in a stall there last month.”
You must have spent hours and hours using it.
After spending hours looking at hunter Bidens pics he couldn’t help himself
WTF is he wearing in the main pic? Beyond hideous
Pedophiles are disproportionately lgbt.
Proof?
Why is this even a travel blogger story? What value do I take from this? Don’t steal? Already got that one down. Oh, wait, how about “Brintin’s downfall will be used [by this travel blogger] as a political weapon and a lynchpin for social division?” Got it. Again, because as I recall, you milked this one last time it happened too.
It involves baggage theft at an airport. There’s a travel angle. I wish no harm on Brinton.
Then maybe work on cleaning up the comment section.
because there are facts you don’t like?
No, because your hate speech has nothing to do with facts.
facts don’t equal hate speech. Quit lying about this.
Its important to showcase that even in travel we’re affected by the Woke Mind virus.
I can’t wait to see its pronouns in jail. Dude will be treated well there. LOL!!!!! Too bad it was not in South America or in Asia. They have “very nice jails”.
in case you missed it.. Elon Musk tweets that his pronouns are ‘Prosecute/Fauci’ https://www.foxnews.com/politics/elon-musk-tweets-pronouns-prosecute-fauci
If only Musk died from COVID . . .
wow
It’s funny how angry hes made your lefties now that one of your propaganda echo chambers is gone.
No, there were more people like you on Twitter, spreading hate speech and misinformation. And it’s only getting worse…
But Musk didn’t die to Covid – just like the large majority of folks that spoke out against these v@x mandates. My body my choice my arse.
Why can’t you hard core lefties admit you were wrong on a lot of things instead of using the word “hate speech” and “racism” all the time? Disgusting.
What’s the over/under on a meaningful prosecution of this clown? Exactly. This is what happens when you don’t THOROUGHLY vet people and put them jobs because they check a box. That’s two thefts that we know of so far which means that either this was his first and second time doing this OR…..he’s been serially doing this for a long time. There ARE victims here. He’s not a “klepto” or any other phony name used to justify his behavior. He’s a thief who likes nice things and steals from others in order to obtain those nice things. In a just society, he’d be punished. This [whatever it chooses to be called today] sadly won’t be.
It’s almost as if people who are neurotic (or is it psychotic) enough to believe they are the wrong gender stent as stable as some would like to believe.
Friendly reminder the Paul Pelosi’s gay lover attacked him.
and that NBC News suspended one of their top veteran reporters for reporting the truth https://nypost.com/2022/11/15/nbc-news-reporter-suspended-over-retracted-paul-pelosi-story/
#fakenews
Not defending this idiot. Full stop they need to go and it has nothing to do with gender affiliation.
What I want to know is who checks jewelry. Both bags were said to have jewelry. Who does that? Has anyone done that? Curious
My grandma. Not only that, she also likes to wear them through TSA metal detectors and wake up the agents once in a while. God bless her
I hope you counsel Grammy about this! When I travel internationally whatever I might wear (rarely) I also have supporting documents photocopied to prove I’m not trying to avoid duty tax.
Let’s go Brinton!
Crazy comes in all colors, genders, religious persuasions, sexual orientations, and political ideologies. It just gives me much more pleasure when I see crazy coming from the ultra-conservative and “morally” holier-than-thou jokers.
The thief’s pronouns are sheit/shite, and behaves accordingly.
Love watching all the leftists defending this freak show.
Nobody is defending what he did. People are pointing out the hateful BS directed to that person for things that have nothing to do with what actually happened.
You people are defending his mental illness.
3000.00 worth of jewelry wouldn’t fill a purse let alone an entire suitcase, unless it was costume jewelry but I digress
He has been fired https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/non-binary-biden-nuclear-official-sam-brinton-fired-after-multiple-luggage-theft-charges-reports
Cool, I hope for no chance of bail. I want zero percent chance that this unstable person divulges nuclear info to other nations out of spite. Now I hope the administration hires someone who is qualified purely on merits and experience.
Extremely doubtful re: “I hope the administration hires someone who is qualified purely on merits and experience.” Biden appointed Gina Raimondo to lead Commerce.. she was formerly gov of Rhode Island, ranked dead in commerce last year over year over year by CNBC. can’t make this shit up.
dead last*
Am I the only one who thinks it’s hilarious that his idiotic woke shirt was used to identify him?
What else would you expect from an administration led by a senile fool and full of people who can’t even figure out if they are man or woman? The SOB should be thrown in jail.
