Va.—Sam Brinton is a free man. The disgraced former Department of Energy official pleaded guilty to petit larceny as part of a sweetheart deal that will see him serve no jail time after facing felony charges that carried a sentence of up to 20 years.
State prosecutors quietly announced the plea deal during a hearing last week in Arlington General District Court, which is just an eight-minute drive from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport where Brinton stole a Tanzanian female fashion designer's luggage containing her custom designs six years ago.
According to prosecutors, Brinton entered into an adult diversion program, which requires him to undergo mental health treatment, write a letter of apology, and complete 50 hours of community service helping the elderly. As part of the deal, the charges against Brinton were amended from grand larceny, a felony offense, to petit larceny, a misdemeanor.
The agreement allows Brinton—who made headlines in June 2022 as one of the first-ever nonbinary gender-fluid federal appointees—to escape jail time in a case that could have resulted in as many as 20 years imprisonment, according to Virginia sentencing guidelines for grand larceny. The agreement marks the third time Brinton has been able to escape serving any jail time for stealing women's luggage from airports.
While the agreement was finalized last week, the case remains open. A follow-up hearing in the case is slated for June 2025 to review Brinton's progress. The case may then, at that point, be closed.

So he’s joining Biden’s staff again?

We can hope.
He's not, after all, a felon.

Tell me again who must be stopped? The list seems to have grown exponentially.

Yet it said ‘state prosecutors’ and VA has a Republican DA.
LD - any back story? Maybe he had pictures of Youngkin?

Nope…
Though, except for the fashion designer, this never approached grand larceny, and it clearly was a mental illness

Right. It probably made sense to slap him on the wrist the first time.
But the third? Seems absurd.
Though maybe the victim accepting the apology and forgiving him carries weight in VA.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t think he was actually caught for the first 2 until he got busted for the third. Police saw the news of the third incident and were able to put his face and name to older cases? In that type of situation, it’s not like a 3 time loser.
