Col. Douglas Macgregor is the hero of the pro-Russia set, and fear isn’t a quote from him, did you watch the 34-second video of him that is part of an interview with Judge Napolitano?

Sorry, no.

What do you make of the “leak”? Seems to me that something is very wrong in how the Biden regime is handling the matter.

Col Douglas Macgregor was the “squadron operations officer who essentially directed the Battle of 73 Easting” during the Gulf War.[5] Facing an Iraqi Republican Guard opponent, he led a contingent consisting of 19 tanks, 26 Bradley Fighting Vehicles and 4 M1064 mortar carriers through the sandstorm to the 73 Easting at roughly 16:18 hours on 26 February 1991 destroyed almost 70 Iraqi armored vehicles with no U.S. casualties in a 23-minute span of the battle.[5] He was at the front of the formation in the center with Eagle Troop on the right and Ghost Troop on the left. Macgregor designated Eagle Troop the main attack and positioned himself to the left of Eagle Troop. Eagle Troop Scouts subsequently followed Macgregor’s tank through a minefield during which his crew destroyed two enemy tanks.
