Former Biden official Samuel Otis Brinton, a non-binary cross-dresser, was paid his six-figure government salary while facing felony charges in connection to an airport luggage theft.
Brinton was put on administrative leave last fall after becoming the suspect in two different luggage theft investigations. Working in the Office of Nuclear Energy in the Department of Energy, Brinton earned a salary of around $178,000.
According to documents obtained by Townhall, "the thieving "gender-fluid" federal government employee enjoyed regular pay and benefits for more than a month before he was given the boot by the Biden administration."
In an October memo addressed to Brinton, a DOE official wrote: "I hereby notify you that you are being placed on Administrative Leave, with pay, effective immediately."
Just last week Brinton was ordered to pay $3,670 to the victim in the Las Vegas robbery and the charges were downgraded from a felony to a misdemeanor.
The luggage theft investigation that occurred in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul airport in September 2022 is ongoing, but security footage clearly shows he swiped the luggage and proceed to travel to Europe with the stolen property. He could face five years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine.
He is also under investigation in a 2018 robbery after a fashion designer saw her unique clothes on Brinton after losing her luggage at the D.C. airport five years ago.
This is the quality of the Biden administration. Taxpayer funds continued to flow into this criminal's hands even as he sat at home not working and under multiple investigations.
Clearly, quality over quantity is not the sentiment of this administration; it's more like absurdity over normality.
