One of the negatives of being out and proud is that stories like this one about you will get media attention just because of who you are. We admit it — we wouldn’t care about this if it weren’t about Sam Brinton, the guy from the Department of Energy who dresses like a woman when he’s not dressed up like a leather dog. It’s a weird story, though, so that also brings some interest.
Sam Brinton, below, was charged with felony theft in Minnesota in late October for stealing luggage from an airport baggage claim area in September, according to reports today. https://t.co/2yvTdY1D8z

Brinton has been on leave from DOE for at least a month, according to reports. Now we know why….https://t.co/5wM3Z6TrtE

So, Brinton says he accidentally picked up the wrong bag, and instead of owning up to his mistake, he said he just left the bag and all its contents in his hotel room.
The criminal complaint states that "no clothing was recovered from the hotel room." pic.twitter.com/bV1LiqasdF

Shit happens! If you pick up the wrong bag at the airport, just bring it back to the airport!

But wait, there’s more, courtesy of Alpha News:
This story is somehow far, far, far crazier than even the headline. Dude didn't check baggage for a flight, yet went to the carousel, took a woman's Vera Bradley rollerbag, and checked it on his next few flights. https://t.co/ZPhJOAfWpN

I'm sure you are as shocked as I am that this guy is not exhibiting the type of decision-making you might want for a career bureaucrat in charge of the nation's nuclear spent fuel programs.

I have a feeling this isn't the first time he's done something like this.

Brilliant.
He also took the tags off the luggage and put them in his purse, then quickly left the airport. There’s no way it was a mistake.

This is weird. He took the bag back to the hotel and when confront, he lied and said it was his, then later finally admitted to leaving the clothes at the hotel and still taking the bag with him back to DC…He then said he did that because leaving the stolen bag would look weird

He’s obviously VERY concerned about looking weird.

Hey, what do you mean by that?
Reporters should catch Admiral Rachel Levine and ask if she regrets posing for a photo with Brinton.
