I think the you-know-what is about to hit the fan.
Mr. Lukens, a former ambassador to Senegal, was the leadoff witness in the Judicial Watch depositions. He served as executive director of the State Departments executive secretariat under Mrs. Clinton until 2011, providing her with logistical, administrative and travel support. Judicial Watch said it was seeking his testimony because records that have already been released indicated that he had emailed Ms. Mills and others about Mrs. Clintons private email server.
Thomas Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, who took part in Mr. Lukenss deposition, said afterward that he could not discuss the substance of the testimony because of the ground rules set by Judge Sullivan.
But Mr. Fitton predicted that once the testimony is publicly released perhaps as early as next week it would show why the State Department and Mrs. Clinton have slow-rolled this and withheld a complete explanation of what went on with her email system. What we learned is going to be embarrassing to Mrs. Clinton and the administration maybe more than embarrassing.

Pathetic for a "dem" (supposedly) to resort to ageism. And don't pretend it's not. We see you.

There is no even passing interest in unity, it's all about submission and fitting collars.
