There was a congressman’s birthday gala, a senator’s fundraiser at a billionaire’s home and a breakfast to discuss ‘homeland security’

In January 2011, Jeffrey Epstein received an email inviting him to join a freshman congressman for breakfast at a luxury hotel in midtown Manhattan.

The billionaire pedophile was promised the chance to rub shoulders with Rep. Allen West, a “rising star” Florida Republican, whose district encompassed Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion.

For Epstein, this type of offer was far from unusual. After he pleaded guilty to procuring a minor for prostitution in 2008 and served a 13-month stint in jail, the convicted sex offender received offers to meet with over a dozen current or former members of Congress, according to The Independent’s analysis of documents released by the Department of Justice.

    For Epstein the Grand Old Pedophiles, this type of offer was far from unusual, but even Democratic leaders were glad to rub shoulders with the convicted pedophile:

    Over half the lawmakers involved are from New York, New Mexico and Florida — states where Epstein owned sprawling properties. Notable names include House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Martin Heinrich.
