Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky's husband, already indicted, arrested at protest

I'm picking up on some odds and ends that I've been meaning to post, but I wanted to focus on the Klocek/DePaul case since the defamation suit was filed on Tuesday.

This comes to Marathon Pundit via Obiter Dictum:

The notorious Robert Creamer, husband of Jan Schakowsky and erstwhile IPAC (Illinois Public Action Council) head, was arrested last week on charges stemming from a "demonstration" at which he was present, protesting privatization of social security. He was detained over night after allegedly having crossed a police line and assaulted someone.

Terry Armour of the Chicago Tribune has more details here, as he writes that Creamer "charged officers as Bush's motorcade pulled up."

Creamer, for those who don't know, was indicted last year because he was allegedly kiting checks while serving as Executive Director of the Illinois Public Action Council. His wife, Congresswoman Jan, D-IL, does matter in this case--she was on the IPAC's Board of Directors while this hubby was running the show.

Jan, a Democrat from Evanston, is also known for her far-left views
