1 Jn. 2:1 (again)

I don't think the point is that He (Jesus, the PARAKLHTOS) is with the 
Father, as in the idea of Him being in heaven at the present time.  Most 
likely the point is that He is our advocate to the Father.  In other words, 
He makes the defense for us to the Father.  Our position as children in the 
family of God and our stance of holiness with Him are utterly dependent 
upon the fact that Jesus is our high priest.  He has gone into heaven on 
behalf of humanity, of whom He is the ultimate high priest and PARAKLHTOS.
