Samuel Brinton, a former senior Department of Energy official in the Biden Administration who was arrested late last year for airport baggage theft, was let out from the Hennepin County Public Safety Facility, a medium-security level county jail in Minneapolis, without bail last Wednesday.
Brinton was charged with stealing a woman traveler’s designer luggage worth $2,325 near the baggage claim area at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport on Sept. 16.
Brinton was dressed in colorful male attire as he strode confidently from the building with his lawyer last Wednesday, unusual for a person who is more often seen in public dressed in flamboyant women’s attire and red lipstick. Brinton views himself as non-binary, meaning he is comfortable as either male or female, or perhaps neither. It is unclear if he was held in the men’s or women’s unit.
Brinton was fired from the Department of Energy in December, where he had been in charge of spent nuclear waste. After his luggage theft arrests in Minneapolis and Las Vegas, he became an embarrassment to the Biden Administration, and was put on administrative leave and eventually fired.
Although his court date was originally Dec. 19, the hearing was postponed at his lawyers’ request. The judge, who referred to the defendant as Mx. Brinton, ordered the alleged luggage thief to not have contact with his victims, according to the Washington Examiner. If convicted, Brinton could face up to five years in federal prison and a $10,000 fine.
A year ago, the Biden Administration lauded Brinton for becoming the first “gender-fluid” person at a high level in the federal government. Brinton had top security clearances, as the person responsible for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste, all of which could be weaponized.
By October, he was charged in Hennepin County with felony theft when a woman at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport reported her suitcase missing from baggage claim, a theft that occurred on Sept. 16, and which was caught on airport security video.
Other video shows him taking that into the Intercontinental Saint Paul Riverfront hotel.
Later, he was charged with another felony grand larceny charges in Nevada, for a different luggage theft at the Harry Reid International Airport that occurred in July. Authorities were able to track him down after news of the Minneapolis theft became public and investigators reviewed security camera footage, which show a person who looks like Brinton stealing a bag from the Harry Reid airport.
When contacted by police, Brinton eventually admitted taking the bag from the Minneapolis airport. Later he checked the bag onto a flight he took back to Washington, D.C.
Brinton started a group called the Trevor Project, which advised the Anchorage Assembly on passage of an ordinance that makes it illegal for any therapist in Anchorage to try to dissuade a youth client from acting on his or her gay sexual impulses. The Trevor Project’s secret dealings with the Anchorage Assembly have never been fully revealed, as the Assembly and Clerk have redacted the documents heavily, claiming attorney-client privilege, even though there was no contractual arrangement with the Trevor Project.
He also led seminars in sado-macochistic sex.
Sam Brinton also was instrumental in drafting school policies used in several states that instructs played a key role in developing a policy adopted in various states “that instructs school districts to keep ‘”‘unaffirming'”‘ parents in the dark about a potentially suicidal child’s gender identity or sexual orientation, Fox News has since reported.
Brinton still has information about the country’s nuclear disposal systems and could be seen as a danger to national security, but at this point he is only being considered to be a garden-variety thief.
