“Sam Brinton is no longer a DOE employee. By law, the Department of Energy cannot comment further on personnel matters,” the department spokesperson said in an email.Prior to Monday's report, the department claimed that Brinton, who is nonbinary, was placed on leave but refused to comment on whether the leave was paid. It is not clear whether Brinton resigned or was fired from the department.
Brinton, who served as the Energy Department's deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition, is facing two grand larceny charges after allegedly stealing luggage from the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in Minnesota. Both suitcases and the items inside were worth over $2,000 each.
Brinton was identified as the alleged perpetrator in Las Vegas after law enforcement announced charges in Minnesota, despite the alleged theft in Las Vegas occurring first on July 6. A detective in Las Vegas claimed that it was the shirt design of a rainbow-colored nuclear symbol that confirmed Brinton's identity after spotting Brinton in the same shirt in a social media post.
Brinton's exit comes a week after Republican lawmakers demanded the former Biden administration official's resignation. The lawmakers claimed that a U.S. official should not violate the laws of the land he or she represents. "We demand the resignation of Sam Brinton, and we implore you to set aside petty politics and appoint only the most qualified and dedicated individuals to influence America's energy sector," the letter read."As an appointed official, Sam Brinton represents both your Department and the United States. It is simply not possible for an individual to represent American values and simultaneously violate the felony laws of the land.
Imagine my surprise
nbehm Like we didn't see this coming huh?
Pretty sure he kept his security clearance after the first offense too.
Come steal my dirty luggage and wash it for me while your at it
BDSM and animal fetish tomfoolery was kosher but stealing luggage was a bridge too far? 🤡🌎
The more relevant question is why did he ever work for the Department of Energy? Ever?
This transgender shit is way out of control!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬❣️
Sammy the bull
No scandal….
Quick question: Why the hell did he work there in the first place?
Okay. Now stop showing that hideous face
Biden administration is a failure
A shiny nickel says he’ll be back in the administration in 6 months.
He should have never been there to start with.
Biden's new chief of staff.
What? Fired.. that sounds like Biden is..... Transphobic
' Pack your bags'
Matt Damon better make that movie quick
It should never have worked for DoE
I thought his job was stealing luggage - he seemed to be pretty good at it - that luggage must’ve been expensive cuz we all know under $900 ain’t a crime
SAD. She was such a class act and role model for young girls.
Yes, unfortunately he had way too much baggage
In the words of Smokey, 'You got to be a stupid MFker to get fired on your day off.'
Where is that blue lipstick now Sammy?
Fortune 100 companies are lining up to hire this oddball. He’d be a monumental DEI, equity, LGBTQ1A+, Heinz 57 genders hire.
He'll pop up in another department. They take care of their own
When are they going to arrest this thieving pervert.
You mean he got a promotion in another department.
Probably applying for bellhop jobs in DC
Just a virtue hire; HE should have NEVER been in that position IN THE FIRST PLACE!
I am so looking forward to Matt Damon’s film about this adventure.
A degenerate like him should have never been hired in the first place.
If they give lesson in kink 101 dog lessons luggage their imagine what else they do behind closed doors. They have the nations secrets good job America
ChrisLannon7 Sam Brinton is a Kleptomaniac who stole twice from Federal Airports. He was also allowed to keep his Top Secret Clearance after the first theft.
Did he ever work?
Geez, I wonder what the first clue was that he may be a horrible hire and a tad NUTS? I can't seem to put my Hermès Birkin Bag on what the clue might have been.
Good riddance
Maybe Mayor Pete will hire him at DOT.
Thank god
Qué es eso ?
Decency is on the ballot
They told him to pack his bags and go! (but only his bags)
I bet the little sheeple people are SO very proud
He/she is an embarrassment and glad he was fired.
He hired trash to deal with waste. That worked out great.
Hello CNNPolitics ? New employee ☝️☝️
What is it with the Biden administration and panties?!!
Finally.
Never mind the stolen goods...its the high heels that gives me the creeps!
Moved to the Department of Transportation
Non-binary freak now a non-employee.
Yaaaaaay !
I'm guessing the wokesters in HR at DOE bent over backwards to try to keep this member of Biden's freak menagerie on the job, but it's hard to justify continuing a security clearance for someone under multiple felony investigations.
Biden's new chief of staff.
Is it’s security clearance revoked?
What took so long
Investigation reveals he committed crimes, and he should be prosecuted.
Whoever hired him, whoever did his background check and their bosses need to no longer work for the Department of Energy.
Note to future employers, he comes with a lot of baggage
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Is the son of Matt Damon AND a cone head.
What sort of deranged person steals other people’s luggage at the airport?
Not to get rid of the entire freak fraudulent anti-America administration.
