John Kerry, in sworn testimony before the Senate in April 1971, said he met with the North Vietnamese and Vietcong delegations in Paris in May 1970. He said they discussed their peace proposals —— especially the eight points of Madam Binh. Kerry strongly recommended that the Senate accept those proposals.
"I have been to Paris. I have talked with both delegations at the peace talks, that is to say the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government and of all eight of Madam Binh's points...
...I realize that even my visits in Paris, precedents had been set by Senator McCarthy and others, in a sense are on the borderline of private individuals negotiating, et cetera.

Thanks. So although Kerry is not seen in that photo of the traitor conference with North Vietnam in Paris, he has given sworn testimony that he was there.
And, as I recall, the evidence suggests that he was still in the military, and therefore was in violation of military regulations about dealing with the enemy, as well as simply betraying his country.
Of course we don’t know that 100%, since he has refused to release his military discharge papers. He PROBABLY did not receive an honorable discharge, since it’s hard to think of any other reason why he would have gone to such trouble—and compromised his presidential campaign—by covering them up against legitimate requests to see them.
