The President's personal lawyer gave a fiery speech on foreign soil before a group that the U.S. government as recently as 2012 had declared a terrorist organization.
We are now realistically being able to see an end to the regime in Iran, Giuliani told a crowd of about 4,000, many of them refugees and young eastern Europeans who had been bussed in to attend the rally in return for a weekend trip to Paris.
The mullahs must go, the ayatollah must go, and they must be replaced by a democratic government which Madam Rajavi represents, Giuliani said. Freedom is right around the corner ... Next year I want to have this convention in Tehran!

(27,995 posts)He's working against interests of US, aiding and abetting a terrorist organization. This group supported the US Embassy take over during the hostage crisis...Isn't this treason?

The UK took them off the list in 2006 and Canada did in 2012 following the Clinton decision. Bill Richardson was at the same rally that Giuliani was according to your link.

(32,064 posts)You said it was treason to appear at the rally.
The Obama administration clearly disagreed with you. They gave $20 million to help them resettle in Albania.
