New Pentagon adviser said Pompeo, senior officials made rich by ‘Israeli lobby’
Douglas Macgregor, aide to new Def. Sec., claimed in 2019 that Bolton was ‘man on the ground’ for Israel lobby at White House, secretary of state ‘has his hands out for money’
A newly appointed senior adviser at the Pentagon has said on at least two occasions that “Israeli lobby” money is responsible for Washington’s support for Jerusalem, and accused high level officials, including US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, of becoming “very, very rich” as a result of their support for Israel, CNN revealed Friday.
Douglas Macgregor, a retired army colonel, was asked in September 2019 whether then-national security adviser John Bolton and Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham wanted war with Iran.
“You have to look at the people that donate to those individuals,” Macgregor said.
“Mr. Bolton has become very, very rich and is in the position he’s in because of his unconditional support for the Israeli lobby. He is their man on the ground in the White House,” said Macgregor.
“The same thing is largely true for Mr. Pompeo, he has aspirations to be president,” Macgregor said. “He has his hands out for money from the Israeli lobby, the Saudis and others.”
Macgregor was named as an adviser to acting defense chief Christopher Miller, who replaced Mark Esper when he and other top Pentagon officials were fired this week by US President Donald Trump and replaced with loyalists.
In a 2012 interview with the Russian state outlet RT, Macgregor said the pro-Israel lobby had “enormous influence” and wanted military action to be taken against Iran.

Is anyone shocked at all ?
Bolton is infamous for being ultra hawkish against Iran, wanting to wage war against them. Trump said just this.
Pompeo has also been very supportive of hawkish Israeli, recently stating the Golan Heights is Israeli land.
Huge props to McGregor for having the courage to expose these Israel shills. McGregor sounds like a real Patriot.

Also:
No MSM or Fox is featuring thsi news prominently. It takes an Israeli paper to bring it to attention. If you want to see criticism of Israel, look at Israeli papers liek Haaretz. American media will never report on 10% of what Haaretz features.
