"She was seen with him in a photo while visiting Chicago."
And she was seen with in a photo with Barbara Bush, too.
Ever hear of John Wayne Gacy? Is everybody who ever had his or her picture taken with him guilty of his crimes?

Some portions of the Catholic Church are dirty and Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz was not about to help clean it up. Historians who say that 10 to 15 percent of the church’s priests in Poland served as SB informants. Including 39 senior clerics.
Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz and his friends actually wanted the old SB records burned so the truth couldn’t come to light.
Fortunately people are smart enough to know 85% of the clergy bravely refused to cooperate with the communists and priests like Rev. Tadeusz Isakowicz-Zaleski saved the churches position in Polish society. The hierarchy of the church mishandled the situation with a sloppy attempt at a cover up.
What was Jolanta Kwasniewska doing there, was the pathetic communist whore looking for forgiveness from the Pope? Lets not forget this bitch had access to the special stores for the privileged comrades while decent Poles sat at home with little heat in the winter and only meagre rations for their children.
Recent claims to fame:
She testified before a Parliamentary Investigation Committee about her ties to PKN Orlen. Kwasniewska never released the list of the donors to her Foundation. While opening the foundation and getting the first donations, she used her husband's political influence
She was also questioned by the committee about her relations with a Polish businessmen living in Chicago, Edward Mazur, who was accused of killing the chief of Polish police General Marek Papala. She was seen with him in a photo while visiting Chicago.
