A Biden administration official is on leave after they were charged with stealing a Vera Bradley suitcase worth over $2,000 from a Minnesota airport
A Biden administration official has been charged with felony theft and is on leave from their post after being accused of stealing a mother's Vera Bradley suitcase from an airport in Minnesota, according to court documents and the federal government.

Sam Brinton, the deputy assistant secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition at the Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy, was accused of taking the luggage from baggage claim at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport on September 16, according to a complaint filed last month.

The 26-inch navy blue hard-sided roller bag and its contents were estimated to be worth $2,325, according to the court documents obtained by Insider.

Surveillance footage captured Brinton, 35, taking the Vera Bradley luggage from the carousel at around 4:45 p.m. after Brinton arrived at the airport on an American Airlines flight from Washington, DC, the court documents allege.

If guilty, very bad judgment of risk and reward.. Career, etc. If you are gonna steal, steal BIG.
I sigh in your general direction.

How completely strange.

But I'm sure that the right will manufacture all kinds of outrage over this.

BTW, no, it's not OK if a Biden official does it. (Since the accusation of double standards is often out there.)

Don't care who he worked for - if he did the crime, he should do the time. But hey man, there's cheaper luggage at the discount mall if you need some, just saying.

I'm sure there will soon be accusations he did it for some nefarious reason - maybe to obtain secret files that were hidden in the case for Hunter Biden. :roll:

I have no doubt McCarthy and Gym Jordan will launch a Congressional investigation into this.

Nah. I doubt it. It just embarrassing to the administration. Nothing more to it.

Democrats take responsibility, like me posting this and the person being suspended.

If he worked for trump he would have been promoted.

Hell, THG would have offered him a pardon provided Brinton give him the luggage which he probably would have used to carry secret documents to Mar-a-Shitload.

Some White House flunky steals a bag at the airport and is disciplined. Press writes about it.

If it's a Republican president: boys will be boys!

If it's a Democratic president: articles of impeachment are in order.

The media are whores.

The audience is brain damaged.

Its fine for YOU to lie, I see. I didn't defend it at all. But the right will try to make a huge deal of it. The Committee that will impeach Biden will take it up, I'm sure. They have to come up with SOME way to impeach him.

It's NOT a big deal for anyone but this low-level staffer, now is it? I mean, they'll probably go to jail.

What more do you think there is to the story?

Maybe part of a child-sex-slavery ring led by Hillary Clinton in a Washington Pizza Joint basement?
