Again, it should be known by now whether or not he had a suitcase that could be mistaken for the one he took, and what happened to it when not claimed.
Long on innuendo, short on facts. Junk journalism.

Well, first and foremost they have him removing the name tag on video. Second, he didn’t call the airline when he opened the suitcase and discovered the wrong clothes. Third, he initially lied to the police? Those are three pretty damning facts and not innuendo.
Beyond that? Why on earth would anyone travel with $2350 suitcase? Have you seen how they are treated by the airport porters? No way. I’ll invest a little bit for something durable, but $2000 for a fashion piece? Sheesh…

I agree those facts are damning, but still incomplete. Junk journalism.

https://alphanews.org/biden-admins-sam-brinton-was-in-town-for-conference-when-he-stole-luggage/
When Brinton arrived in St. Paul for the conference, he allegedly went to baggage claim and stole a woman’s blue Vera Bradley roller bag, ripped the luggage tag from the bag, and then left the area at a “quick pace.”
He didn’t check a bag and therefore had no reason to stop at baggage claim in the first place, according to the complaint.
Brinton used the stolen bag on his return trip to D.C. and during an October excursion to Europe, the complaint says.
He wasn’t charged until Oct. 27. The bag and its contents were worth an estimated $2,300.
Brinton initially denied taking someone else’s luggage but later told police that he was tired and thought the bag was his, the charges say.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Agree. This person has already been suspended from official duty before the second incident. Most likely it's just a matter of time for formal dismissal.

Samuel Brinton — who has served as the Energy Department's (DOE) deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition since June — allegedly stole a suitcase with a total estimate worth of $3,670 on July 6 at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, according to a declaration filed by a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) detective on Wednesday. The bag contained jewelry valued at $1,700, clothing worth $850 and makeup valued at $500.
The detective wrote in the report that a woman traveling from Washington, D.C., to Las Vegas on July 6 reported one of her checked bags missing shortly after the incident. Police then reviewed security camera footage and observed "a white male adult wearing a white T-shirt with a large rainbow colored atomic nuclear symbol design" removing baggage that matched the victim's description of her missing bag before quickly exiting the airport.
Police closed the investigation, though, after they were unable to identify the person who took the suitcase.
However, on Nov. 29, after media reports highlighting Brinton's alleged theft in a Minnesota airport surfaced, investigators reopened the case since the suspect matched Brinton's description. Upon viewing the news articles, the officer who had closed the case months earlier "immediately recognized" Brinton "as the suspect pertaining to this case."
Police were then able to confirm that Brinton traveled on the same flight to Las Vegas as the victim on July 6 and found an Instagram post in which Brinton posted a selfie wearing the same rainbow-colored atomic symbol shirt.
Seems that the "second bag" was actually the first.
"Brinton demonstrated several signs of abnormal behavior while taking the victim's luggage which are cues suspects typically give off when committing luggage theft," the LVMPD detective wrote in the report. "Specifically, Brinton pulled the victim's luggage from the carousel and examined the tag."
"Then placing it back on the carousel, looking in all directions for anyone who might be watching, or might approach," it continued. "Pulling it back off the carousel and demonstrating the same behavior by looking around before walking away with it quickly. Brinton only having checked one piece of luggage, which Brinton had already claimed from the carousel, had no reason to be examining and taking any other pieces of luggage."
