DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - How the denial works: a three-entity structure.
NCRI-US (the DC office Jafarzadeh runs) -- FARA registered. The filing reports $0 in speaker fees and $0 in payments to individuals.
NCRI Paris/Albania (the foreign principal) -- this is what's listed on Pence's financial disclosure as the source of the $190,000. This entity pays the speakers directly.
OIAC (domestic 501(c)(4)) -- organizes U.S. events. No FARA registration was identified for OIAC in the DOJ FARA database. As a 501(c)(4), OIAC is not required to publicly disclose donors. Paid Pence separately.
Each entity can deny what the others do. That's how "absolutely not" works.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Now, you will find reporting from left-wing groups critical of MeK paying Republicans. This is because Communists are aligned with the IRGC, and MeK does oppose IRGC.
But "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" mentality is exactly what has gotten us into GWOT and quagmires.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - MEK's entire value proposition is regime change. They're selling themselves as "the democratic alternative"; Rajavi is "president-elect" of a government-in-waiting.
Trump's current Iran posture is negotiation, not regime change. (Side note - IMO, true regime change is probably impossible without a land war, which is a nonstarter.)
That'd explain why Pence, Pompeo, Short, and that entire crew are counter-signaling a peace deal.
