In 1980 the conservatives, in what was referred to as the "October Surprise," handed the Iranians advanced missile technology that was reversed engineered to create the basis of IEDs now used by terrorists to kill American soldiers.
That act was completely illegal just as their support for the very same terrorists who attacked our embassy back then is now. The USSC has already ruled on this matter:
"The Supreme Court has ruled that any "advocacy performed in coordination with, or at the direction of, a foreign terrorist organization" is a crime." And the Patriot act also piles onto the legal issue:

Can there be any doubt that these criminals are guilty of high crimes? It makes you wonder when conservatives talk about the "rule of law" and the Constitution just what the heck they are referring to?
