Biden's non-binary nuclear official Sam Brinton is arrested as a 'fugitive of justice' - six months after being fired for stealing women's clothes at multiple airports

The former Biden administration nuclear energy official Sam Brinton has been arrested as a 'fugitive of justice', six months after being fired for stealing women's clothes in airports. 

Brinton was picked up at home in Maryland. The non-binary, drag-queen was fired after admitting to taking a stranger's suitcase from the luggage carousel during a work trip. 

The Biden administration had proudly announced Brinton's hiring, one of the first non-binary, LGBTQ hires in government.

---

For the luggage thing:

(...)

Brinton, who attracted attention as one of the federal government's first non-binary officials, was first charged last month for nabbing a woman’s suitcase from the baggage carousel at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in September. They initially denied taking the bag—which was reportedly worth more than $2,500—but later said they had grabbed it by mistake.

(...)

Then last week a second set of charges were filed in Las Vegas for Brinton—with police sharing surveillance footage of them leaving the Harry Reid International Airport with another woman's bag—this one worth an estimated $3,670, according to court documents.

(...)

The court documents said an officer with the Las Vegas Metropolitan department viewed video footage showing Briton looking around suspiciously—placing the bag back on the luggage turnstile before snagging it a second time as it came around.

Not his first offense of that kind since

Female fashion designer alleges Sam Brinton wore her clothing that disappeared from airport in 2018

Tanzanian fashion designer Asya Khamsin tells Fox News Digital: 'He wore my clothes which was stolen'

[coochiequeens]

By Jesse O’Neill

Published Sep. 20, 2023,

A Tanzanian fashion designer has finally been reunited with clothes that were allegedly swiped from her in 2018 by Sam Brinton, the ex-Department of Energy official with a penchant for stealing women’s suitcases from airports.

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police Department on Wednesday confirmed the development, which was first reported by Fox News.

“The MWAA Police Department can confirm we returned the victim’s property and police retained photos of the evidence for prosecution. The case is still under adjudication and we cannot release more detailed information,” a spokesperson said.

One-time nuclear official Brinton was charged with grand larceny in February for allegedly taking designer Asya Khamsin’s luggage from Arlington, Va.’s Ronald Reagan National Airport, after pictures emerged showing them wearing a brightly colored, one-of-a-kind frock that had been in the case.

Khamsin, who spoke to The Post about the luggage heist earlier this year, did not immediately return a request for comment, but her lawyer issued a scathing statement that noted the returned clothes were not “immediately either wearable or saleable, as the result of his use of them.”

Attorneys Peter Hansen and Ben Akech noted that his client last week filed a lawsuit against Brinton, who is non-binary and uses “they/them” pronouns, to be reimbursed for “the stolen items, the larger business harm done to her by the theft, and the public subordination of her business brand to Mr. Brinton’s personal brand,” he continued.

“Mr. Brinton’s theft wrongfully put Asyakhamsin [sic] in a bind. She could watch her stolen designs be used and celebrated without attribution to her, or she could call out the wrongful taking, but then watch both her and her work be publicly linked to Mr. Brinton without her consent,” the lawyers continued, repeatedly referring to Brinton as a man.

Brinton was fired last year after being caught red-handed in a string of other luggage thefts.

They were also jailed in Virginia for about two weeks in relation to the Khamsin theft before being bonded out ahead of a December preliminary hearing.

The former deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste at the Office of Nuclear Energy allegedly snatched another woman’s suitcase while on a taxpayer-funded trip to Las Vegas last July, according to documents reviewed by The Post.

Brinton eventually pleaded no contest in that incident and was sentenced to a 180-day suspended jail sentence and made to undergo a mental health evaluation and pay $3,670.74 in restitution.

Two months later, the ex-Biden administration official allegedly stole a $2,325 designer suitcase from the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport baggage claim and was then seen using it on two different occasions.

To resolve that case, Brinton agreed to participate in an adult diversion program for first-time, nonviolent offenders and undergo a mental health evaluation, write a letter of apology to the victim, return any stolen property and perform three days of community service.

In February, Khamsin revealed how she had to cancel a fashion show after her bag of 30 original custom-made pieces was swiped from the airport, only to see the dresses be worn by Brinton at public events.

“I was thinking, ‘Who took my bag, where is it?’ for a long time. Then I see images of the outfits [being worn by Brinton] and I was so confused and upset,” said Khamsin, who splits her time between Houston and Tanzania.

“I don’t know if I would like the clothes back,” she said at the time.

“The investigation is in good hands with the FBI. I’m waiting on them, they will do the right thing.”

ides of march

well, its tumblr's favorite holiday and who can blame us? The assassination of Julius Caesar is probably one of the only group projects that ever went down the way it was supposed to with, well, not complete group participation (there were said to be upward of 60 people involved but only 23 stab wounds - obviously someone was not carrying their weight) but at least a good effort was made at it. But lets take a moment, between our jokes about salad and Animal Crossing butterfly nets to look at what else has happened in history on the Ides of March. For instance, did you know, on March 15th:

1493 - Columbus returned to Spain after 'discovering' the new world.

1580 - Phillip II of Spain put a bounty on the head of Prince William I of Orange for 25,000 gold coins for leading the Dutch revolt against the Spanish Hamburgs

1744 - King Louis XV of France declares war on Britain

1767 - Andrew Jackson, who would go on to be the seventh president of the US, was born.

1820 - Maine became the 23rd state in the US

1864 - the Red River Campaign, called 'One damn blunder from beginning to end' started for the Union Forces in the American Civil War

1889 - a typhoon in Apia Harbor, Samoa sinks 6 US and German warships, killing 200

1917 - Czar Nicholas II abdicated the Russian throne, bringing an end to the Romanov dynasty

1955 - the first self-guided missile is introduced by the US Air Force

1965 - TGI Friday's opens its first restaurant in New York City

1991 - in LA, four police officers are brought up on charges for the beating of Rodney King

2018 - Toys R Us announces it will be closing all its stores

2019 - a terrorist attacks two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, killing 51, and wounding 50 others

Oof! Pretty bleak, isn't it? It would almost make you think that the day is just bad luck, start to finish and its probably just as well, we're all focusing on assassination instead of other horrors. But wait - its not all bad news! The Ides of March has some tricks up its sleeve yet (joke intended). I'd be telling you only half the story if I didn't add:

1854 - Emil von Behring is born and will eventually become the first to receive the Nobel Prize in medicine for his discovery of a diphtheria antitoxin, being called 'the children's savoir' for the lives it saves

1867 - Michigan is the first state to use property tax to support a university

1868 - the Cincinnati Red Stockings have ten salaried players, making them the first professional baseball team in the US

1887 - Michigan has the first salaried fish and game warden

1892 - the first automatic ballot voting machine is unveiled in New York City

1907 - Finland gives women the right to vote, becoming the first to do so in Europe

1933 - Ruth Bader Ginsberg is born and will go on to become a US Supreme Court justice

1934 - the 5$ a day wage was introduced by Henry Ford, forcing other companies to raise their wages as well or lose their workers

1937 - the first state sponsored contraceptive clinic in the US opens in Raleigh, North Carolina

1946 - the British Prime minister recognizes India's independence

1947 - the US Navy has its first black commissioned officer, John Lee

1949 - clothes rationing ends in Britain, four years after the end of WWII

1960 - ten nations meet in Geneva for disarmament talks

1968 - the Dioceses of Rome says it will not ban 'rock and roll' from being played during mass but that it deplores the practice - also in 1968, LIFE magazine titles Jimi Hendrix 'the most spectacular guitarist in the world'

1971 - ARPANET, the precursor of the modern day internet, sees its first forum

1984 - Tanzanian adopts a constitution

1985 - symbolics.com, the first internet domain name, is registered

The Ides of March turns out to just be a day, like any other day in history.

Unless you're us. In which case -

Tanzania: Indigenous Maasai Being Forcibly Relocated

Consult Communities, Restore Social Services in Ngorongoro Conservation Area

(Des Moines) –Tanzania’s government is forcibly relocating Indigenous Maasai residents from their homes and ancestral lands in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA), Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. Before further relocations are planned or carried out, the Tanzanian authorities should restore essential public services and consult affected communities to seek their free, prior, and informed consent.

The 86-page report, “It’s Like Killing Culture,” documents the Tanzanian government program that began in 2022 to relocate over 82,000 people from the NCA to Msomera village, about 600 kilometers away, to use their land for conservation and tourism purposes. Since 2021, the authorities have significantly reduced the availability and accessibility of essential public services, including schools and health centers. This downsizing of infrastructure and services, coupled with limiting access to cultural sites and grazing areas and a ban on growing crops, has made life increasingly difficult for residents, forcing many to relocate.

“The Maasai are being forcibly evicted under the guise of voluntary relocation,” said Juliana Nnoko, senior researcher on women and land at Human Rights Watch. “The Tanzanian government should halt these relocations and respect the rights of Indigenous people and rural communities by ensuring their participation in decisions affecting their rights and livelihoods through genuine consultation, access to information, and consent of Indigenous groups.”

The NCA, a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization World Heritage Site is managed by the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA), a government entity. The area has been home to the Maasai for generations.

TANZANIAN WOMEN : The Most FEMININE Women in the WORLD.

[beardedmrbean]

A police commander in Tanzania's capital, Dodoma, has been removed from her post following controversial comments in which she linked an alleged gang-rape victim to sex work.

Earlier this month, a video appearing to show a young woman being assaulted went viral, prompting an outcry in the East African nation.

Four men on Monday denied charges over the alleged attack.

On Sunday, the police commander in the capital, Dodoma, was quoted in a Tanzanian newspaper as saying the "woman in question appeared to be engaged in sex work".

Following a backlash and accusations that the comment minimised the woman's ordeal, Tanzania's national police force apologised and said the commander had been transferred.

"The police force would like to apologise to everyone who was touched and offended by the statement circulating in the media while monitoring is being done to find its accuracy," national police spokesperson David Misime said on Monday.

Mr Msime added that in her comments to local newspaper Mwananchi, Dodoma Regional Commander Theopista Mallya had said that even if the woman was a sex worker, "she did not deserve to be treated that way".

These words did not appear in Mwananchi's report - the BBC has contacted the newspaper for comment.

In response to Mwananchi's report, lawyer Peter Madeleka said on social media platform X that Ms Mallya's comments were "proof of police cruelty to women's rights".

Fatma Karume, a lawyer and prominent activist, also expressed outrage on X, writing: "Those who sell themselves can not be raped in this country?"

In the video that appeared to show the woman being raped, the suspects reportedly interrogate her, forcing her to apologise to someone referred to as "afande".

In Tanzania "afande" is often used to refer to a soldier or police officer, so many activists and social media users expressed outrage that a sexual assault could have been carried out on the orders of a member of the security forces.

"The investigation revealed that the youths were not acting on orders from any officers; they were merely under the influence of alcohol and drugs," Ms Mallya told Mwananchi.

"However the woman in question appeared to be engaged in sex work," she said.

Following the public backlash over Ms Mallya's comments, Tanzania's national police said she had been transferred to the police headquarters, though it is not clear whether this is temporary or permanent.

It is also unclear when the viral video was filmed but the victim was reportedly a resident of Yombo Dovya, a suburb in the country's largest city, Dar es Salaam.

Four suspects appeared in court on Monday afternoon and were charged with gang rape and engaging in unnatural acts.

The individuals pleaded not guilty and will remain in police custody, local media reported.

Here's a list of trans woman though who I'd LOVE to see used for a character like that.

Did you all hear one of the luggages Sam Britton stole belonged to Asya Idarous Khamsin, a Tanzanian fashion designer and they have been seen wearing Khamsin’s missing clothes and jewelry 💀 I mean I support Sam as a non-binary person but this seems to be a problem. Like a serious disrespects women of color problem. The designs and jewelry were so clearly unique and culturally situated and NOT THEIRS.

How old were you when you found out stealing is problematic and thieves don't care about hurting who they steal from cuz anon was today years old.

"idk is stealing wrong if you're non-binary?"

Are you serious?

TERFs are so braindead get out of my asks and quit trying to tie behavior to gender. You're trying so hard to seem like a non-bigot asking a genuine question that you look stupid.

Anyway white people have been doing that since day 1. So why don't you clutch your pearls about all our broken treaties and show up to Landback protests since you care so much instead of sending me this absolute nonsense.

State visit from Tanzania: His Majesty The King´s speech

President Samia Suluhu Hassan, Ministers, Excellencies, Distinguished guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Karibu, Madam President! 

It is a great pleasure for the Queen and I to welcome you to Norway.

We have fond memories of our visit to Tanzania in 1981, which was our first visit to Africa. We had the honour of meeting then President Nyerere, and the beauty of your country made a deep impression on us. 

From the Serengeti plain to the Swahili coast, it was a wonderful introduction to the continent. And unforgettable – in so many ways. I can assure all of you:

If you ever experience to be chased by a rhino, you will never ever forget it – just ask the Queen. But we don’t blame him: We were after all not-invited visitors on his turf.

We left Tanzania with a great appreciation of the hospitality of the Tanzanian people – and most of the animals. 

Your visit brings warmth into our cold Norwegian February. Your visit also coincides with the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between our two countries.

In the years after independence, Tanzania led the way as a champion for the independence of all African nations, and Norway was proud to stand with you. Tanzania has always been a central meeting place, where people have come together in the spirit of unity. This has forged a uniquely hospitable culture – and Kiswahili as a language now connects people across national borders.  

Tanzania and Norway seek to reach decisions in the spirit of equality between nations. Both our countries support a multilateral system where all voices are heard, a system that is essential for maintaining peaceful relations between countries. 

Madam President,

You are known for your devotion and service to your people.  

You have shown great leadership and dedication in ensuring that all voices can be heard, including the voices of women and girls.

Your work to ensure the right of girls to an education is commendable. Tanzania and Norway share a commitment to safeguarding the rights of women and girls.

The prosperity of our nations is based on our natural resources, and climate change is a key challenge for both of us. In 2023 our countries agreed to continue to deepen our cooperation on climate action.

Both countries are blessed with abundant renewable and fossil energy resources. It is critical to find sources of energy to meet the needs of a growing global population while implementing a just and sustainable green transition.

The need for clean cooking solutions is another area of critical importance, and we would like to congratulate you on the launch of the African Women Clean Cooking Support Programme this past December.

I am also pleased to see that major Norwegian companies are showing an interest in increasing cooperation with Tanzania in the area of green energy.

Madam President,

Tanzania and Norway are both fantastic tourist destinations, and the tourist industry is vital to our economies.

At this time of year, I am confident that sun-worshippers dream of Zanzibar’s beaches – whereas Norway can offer passionate skiers and snowboarders fulfilment of their dreams.

Tonight, we have gathered here in Oslo in recognition of our deep respect for each other – and with an optimistic view on what we can achieve together.   

I ask you all to join us in a toast to Her Excellency President Samia Suluhu Hassan, to the people of Tanzania and to the close and friendly relations between our two countries.

Skål!
