[quote=Anonymous]‘Breitbart Embassy’ on Capitol Hill suddenly has more cachet
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/reliable-source/wp/2016/11/16/breitbart-embassy-on-capitol-hill-suddenly-has-more-cache/
The stately mansion located near the Supreme Court holds offices sometimes used by the right-wing media organization — which was (is? the ties are still unclear) led by Stephen K. Bannon, the top campaign aide to President-elect Donald Trump who was named the incoming president’s chief strategist and senior counselor.

Work aside, the brick dwelling also functions as a party house for the city’s conservative class.

Annual soirees include those timed near the Conservative Political Action Committee’s conference and the White House Correspondents’ Association’s glitzy dinner, plus the odd book party celebrating a conservative author. Many of the festivities at the formally decorated (think ornate chandeliers, swag curtains and oil paintings) venue are extravagant affairs: the 2014 CPAC party featured “speakeasy” theme, along with a 17-piece swing band, free-flowing champagne and cigar rollers.

In addition to offices in the carriage house and the basement, there are living quarters there, and Bannon reportedly uses the upper levels of the four-bedroom residence as his Washington crash pad. According to D.C. property records, the house is owned by Moustafa el Gindy, a former member of the Egyptian parliament who is now a member of the country’s opposition party. It has long been unclear what, if any, his relationship is with the Breitbart crew, other than that of landlord.[/quote]
