The Houston Police Department has handed over its investigation into a former Biden administration official charged in two separate luggage thefts to the FBI. If the FBI finds he was involved in yet another luggage theft, it will be the third such case against Sam Brinton.

Brinton, a former official in Biden’s Department of Energy (DOE) seems to have been caught stealing the luggage of Houston-based Tanzanian fashion designer Asya Khamsin at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on March 9, 2018. The designer stumbled upon pictures of Brinton wearing what looks to be her designs and put two and two together.

At the time her luggage went missing in 2018, she and her husband filed a report with the metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police Department. They also filed a claim with Delta Air Lines, the airline they used to travel from Houston to Washington, D.C. The case was not solved. Since then, Brinton has found himself in trouble for luggage theft.

If the name sounds familiar, it’s because Brinton was a media darling until he was not. The Biden administration prides itself on all its diverse hires, the more boxes someone can check, the better. Sam is the first openly non-binary person to serve in a presidential administration. He’s a nuclear waste expert but the non-binary thing was the headline. The Biden administration is all about identity politics, much to its detriment. This guy looks like he was just one more bad hire for Team Biden.

Khamsin saw the media coverage of Brinton’s fall from grace and noticed his clothes looked like some of her designs that she lost in the missing luggage. She filed a complaint with the Houston Police Department in December. Now HPD has turned its investigation over to the FBI.

Will the FBI, which falls under the umbrella of the Department of Justice, charge Brinton with a third case of luggage theft if its investigation leads there? Merrick Garland is all-in with Biden’s obsession with identity politics, at least in his role as attorney general.

HPD reports that personnel from the department’s Criminal Investigation Division has met with FBI personnel at the airport about the luggage theft case. As a Houston resident, I can tell you that the story garnered a lot of local media attention when Khamsin went public with her claim against Brinton.

As I mentioned above, this is the third case to hit the press against Brinton’s habit of stealing luggage at airports to obtain women’s clothing. He has expensive taste. He was first charged in Minnesota with luggage theft from the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport after he was caught on video stealing a suitcase worth $2,325 last September. He made his first court appearance in that case last week. It didn’t go well for him. He faces up to five years in prison for the crime (alleged) and was released without bail.

The second case against Brinton is one in Nevada. He was charged with grand larceny of an item valued between $1,200 and $5,000 by prosecutors in December. I told you he has expensive taste. He isn’t stealing clothes purchased at Marshall’s or TJ Maxx. Only the designer pieces for him. The suitcase he stole (allegedly) at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas is worth about $3,670. This happened on July 6. He was released on $15,000 bail and the judge ordered him to “stay out of trouble.” Define ‘trouble’, your Honor.

Sam is shameless. He flaunts the alleged stolen clothes in pictures he posts on social media. “Look at me in expensive women’s clothing” is his intended message. The designer in Houston saw her designs on his social media posts. It’s kind of hard to argue against a theft charge when there are photos of him striking a pose in the clothes.

I may be wrong but I feel pretty confident in saying the third luggage theft case will probably not be the last one we hear about against Sam Brinton. It looks like he’s been doing this for a few years and with each theft, he likely grew more confident. I’m willing to bet that there are lots of other women who have lost luggage at an airport and are now pondering if Sam’s sticky fingers got their bags, too, as they search his social media posts.
