Lew Lukens, the highest-ranking U.S. official in London, is a piece of work. The Chargé d'Affaires, or acting U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom, undercut President Trump's criticism of London's Mayor Sadiq Khan in the wake of the recent terror attack by brazenly tweeting high praise to the leftist leader, whose hostility to Trump is well known.
Lukens's tweet, spotted as a retweet on former Obama deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes's Twitter feed, reads:
I commend the strong leadership of the @MayorofLondon as he leads the city forward after this heinous attack. – LLukens 3/3 https://t.co/p4dDZuCpyO

Just in time for U.K. elections, giving a boost to the fast rising Labor Party, it seems.
Electioneering or not, it was an unusually insolent act against the current U.S. president, a signed statement to undercut Trump, and evidence that the U.S. embassy is being managed as a Democratic Party outpost rather than a representation of the entire U.S. government.
A day or two ago, Trump tweeted this:
At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!"

So who is Acting Ambassador Lewis Lukens, anyway?
Turns out he's a career diplomat, with nearly 30 years' experience in assorted outposts. His most prominent positions, however, have been at the side of the person who must have served as a sort of mentor, then-secretary of state Hillary Clinton, serving as her chief administrative officer. In that time frame, he managed to reach the inner circle of Clinton's tight little circle of acolytes –

Q: And so what did you – did you propose a solution at that point?
A: So my proposal was to set up a computer on her desk, a standalone computer [not part of the State Department's system], for her to be able to access the internet to check her e-mails [privatized — and therefore not subject to FOIA requests or historians' investigations].
For what it's worth, Sundance at Conservative Treehouse points out that a mysterious fire that destroyed documents related to Clinton's illegal email server occurred at the State Department on administrative officer Lukens's watch, too.
Dear President Trump, IF you should happen to read this, this guy needs to hear: “YOU’RE FIRED” asap.

[ Rogue Envoy: Why is Hillary Clinton’s private server man running the US embassy in UK? ]
a) The Clintons still have crooked people in power?
b) It’s harder to extradite him from across the pond?
c) It’s harder to subpoena him from across the pond?
For gawd’s sakes . . .
DRAIN THE DAMN SWAMP !!
How can we get rid of this Deep State scum?
Recall this clown. NOW!
Ditto.
Because the SAME criminal DEEP STATE that had this man killed is STILL running stuff. Trump needs to start doing the “YOU’RE FIRED” thing thousands of times — AND FAST!!

Sounds like Joe Kennedy as FDR was desperately trying to alert the US to the dangers of Adolph Hitler.
Shouldn’t this guy be on the top of Hitlary’s Blame List?
Excellent comparison!

Joseph P. Kennedy’s correspondence shows a man entirely incapable of mediating.
