Maryam, Reza & a prostitute named Rudy/picture

What would be a descriptive moniker in describing public persons who are simultaneously for and against an issue of outmost importance?

Here is an example:

Rudolph William Louis "Rudy" Giuliani publically supports the peoples Mujahedin of Iran, MKO, who are dedicated to the overthrow of the unreformable, warmongering Islamist fascists ruling over Iran.

Rudolph William Louis "Rudy" Giuliani publically supports Reza Zarrab, the accused money launderer who is dedicated to the preservation of the rule of the unreformable, warmongering Islamist fascists ruling over Iran.

In other words; Maryam Rajavi, Reza Zarrab & a prostitute named Rudy.

Sanction works, U.S. Senate, get to it.

Why it is wrong to call Ruddy Giuliani names.

1. In democracies law demands defendants or plaintiffs be represented by a defense attorney. US is a democracy and court procedures demand the defendant be represented by a defense attorney.

Note: The defendant or plaintiff may choose Pro se legal representation or self-representation.

2. Defending a case does not necessarily mean winning it.

3. If Giuliani doesn't take the case, someone else will. Or the judge will appoint a defense attorney.

4. By accepting cases in the courts of law, attorneys accept to legally advocate for their clients and are not necessarily emotionally involved in the case.

5. This is a business decision.

6. Lawyers are sworn in to do their jobs to the best of their ability.

7. While this case requires professional/legal expertise, defending a political organization is a personal/emotional/political choice.

Last but not least, many Iranians are working for stare-run institutions in Iran and their work benefits the regime, in one way or another. Should they all quit their jobs only because they don't agree with the policies of the regime.

A Reminder:

Bernie Madoff's lawyer was criticized and threatened by some of Madoff's victims. Was that a right thing to do?

The New York Times

Madoff Lawyer Absorbs Part of the Rage

By Diana B. Henriques

March 10, 2009

“As one Jew to another, I deeply regret that the Sorkin family did not perish in the Nazi death camps.”

"That is just one of the angry messages that have poured in to Ira Lee Sorkin since he became lawyer for Bernard L. Madoff, expected to plead guilty this week to a fraud that prosecutors call a giant Ponzi scheme.

Soon after he took on the case in December, Mr. Sorkin received one message so threatening that he said he had to refer it to the F.B.I.

Ike Sorkin, as he is known everywhere but on his business card, provokes strong feelings ― among those who like him and those who do not. And he has done so for a long time.

On a shelf in his corner office at the Manhattan law firm of Dickstein Shapiro, he keeps a yellowed newspaper clipping about the first death threat against him, by an alcoholic stock swindler back in his days as a prosecutor in 1975."

GR,

Making money from two opposite sides is the reason for his prostitution label.

Question:

How is Irving H. Picard different from Bernie Maddoff?

The New York Times

Madoff Case Is Paying Off for Trustee ($850 an Hour)

By Andrew Ross Sorkin

May 28, 2012

Irving H. Picard, the court-appointed trustee seeking to recover funds for the victims of Bernard L. Madoff’s multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme, has been described as a modern-day Robin Hood. For nearly four years, he has been working to pay back those who were swindled by Mr. Madoff, some who lost their entire life savings.

Yet a look at recent court filings shows Mr. Picard has had much more success collecting money for himself and a dozen law firms and consultants than any victim of Mr. Madoff’s crime.

So far, Mr. Picard’s efforts have created a whopping $554 million in legal and other fees. How much have Mr. Madoff’s victims actually received from all of the cases and motions he’s made? Only $330 million. And how much does Mr. Picard estimate the fee spigot will pour out by 2014? A mere $1 billion.

At $850 an hour, Mr. Picard and his law firm, Baker & Hostetler, are starting to look more like the princes of the Full Employment Act for Lawyers than storybook heroes.

In the last several years, Mr. Picard has brought more than 1,000 cases seeking more than $100 billion on behalf of victims, despite acknowledging that only about $17.3 billion had actually been invested by customers. (The entire Ponzi scheme has been estimated to be worth $65 billion, but much of that is the result of made-up profits recorded by Mr. Madoff.)

Fred,

I am aware that Mr. Giuliani has received money from MKO.

However, this is a legal case involving an individual arrested and imprisoned in the US.

The legal system in the US permits lawyers to represent defendants or plaintiffs regardless of the case or nationality.

By simply accepting this case Rudy Giuliani is not supporting the regime in Iran.

Again, accepting this case does not necessarily mean winning it.

And you don't think that there is a remote possibility that mr. Giuliani was by any chance selected for this case?
why him? why not someone else? Do you even think there was a process whereby qualified lawyers would step up and bid for the job?

Doc,

How Rudy Giuliani got the case does not concern me at all.

And if you ever come across anyone who offered you the opportunity to make some real money and you didn't want to take advantage of that opportunity, let me know.

You are not answering my question Dear friend.

Why was this case given to Him and not anyone else. You claim that any lawyer coud have taken the case ragardless of his background, Fine, But did anyone step up and do we know how they were treated and why were they not allowed to take this case?

If you can't give me a convincing replies to any of the above issues, then it is perfectly logical to make the assumption that he was hired by non other than the IRI.

Replacing the IRI with MEK is like trading brain cancer for Leukemia! An old cultrue like Iran, however corrupt and imperfect, can and should do better than these institutions of murder and oppression!

Doctor Jaan,

If I understand your hypothetical question correctly, it implies two things, 1. US courts are prone to corruption. 2. Continuity in the US foreign policy.

Here too it does not make any difference who represents the defendant simply because, in the overall scheme of things, I see this case as a very insignificant one.

P.S.

From what I have read, Giuliani is the best attorney RZ and Erdogan could wish for.

GR!!!

Not sure where you are going with your argument but...

1- Yes. Corruption is a given in any country's legal system. No surprise there.

2- WHAT???!!!:)

I respect your opinion, But that is not how i see it. It is not only about being the best, it is about having somebody who can make things happen for you, in the shortest possible time.

Doc,

That's exactly what I meant. Giuliani is "somebody who can make things happen for you." Otherwise, he wouldn't have been retained by the defendant(s).
