This is a deeply unprofessional and illegal partisan statement from the Trump hack who's currently director of the CIA.
It's also deeply dishonest, because the decision to grant the shooter asylum here was made by the Trump administration.

NEW: Data on Russian forces’ rate of advance indicates that a Russian military victory in Ukraine is not inevitable, and a rapid Russian seizure of the rest of Donetsk Oblast is not imminent. Russian advances elsewhere on the frontline have been opportunistic and exploited seasonal weather. ⬇️🧵

Ashamed to say I'd never had sweet potato pie before today.
Tried three today: the well-known Patti LaBelle pie from Wal-Mart, a recipe that viewers suggested I make at home, and a slice from Denver's famous Welton Street Cafe.
(You're dismissed now, pumpkin pie. We're done.)

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?
