Sam Brinton's Instagram selfie showing off his 'nuclear pride' T-shirt led to his arrest warrant

As you know by now, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition Sam Brinton is on leave from his job after being arrested for stealing luggage — twice that we know of. The second incident that was reported happened in Las Vegas. The best part: Brinton was wearing a T-shirt with a pride flag beneath an atom illustration when he allegedly stole the bag, and that same day, he posted a selfie wearing that same distinctive T-shirt to Instagram.

"The distinctive tee — which Brinton sported in a selfie posted to Instagram that same day — led the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to issue a warrant for Brinton…"

Las Vegas police had been unable to identify the person who stole an expensive piece of luggage from Harry Reid International Airport in July, despite the subject’s unique t-shirt with a large rainbow colored atomic nuclear symbol.

But the Vegas officer investigating the theft got a break last month when he noticed the person seen on video walking away with a woman’s hard-sided luggage on July 6 looked an awful lot like 35-year-old Sam Brinton, President Biden’s genderfluid deputy assistant secretary of spent fuel and waste disposition.

Brinton’s image had been widely publicized following the revelation two weeks ago that he is facing felony charges in a Sept. 16 luggage theft case at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport. In that incident, Brinton is accused of walking away with a woman’s hard-sided Vera Bradley suitcase.

“On his page I located a post which was dated 07/06/22, the same day of the theft,” the officer wrote. “The post was a selfie picture of Brinton who appeared to be in an airport. Brinton was clearly wearing the same exact white T-shirt with a large, rainbow-colored atomic nuclear symbol design on the front as seen on video at Hairy Reid International Airport.”
