Geraldo Rivera on ICE Shooting, Comey Indictment, and Ukraine War

ICE Facility Shooting

• 🎯 The shooter at the ICE facility in Dallas was motivated by an irrational hatred of ICE and a clear intent to kill federal officers.
• ⚠️ Despite the shooter's intentions, he inadvertently killed a detainee and critically injured two others, failing to achieve his stated goal.
• 🔒 The incident highlights the need to harden ICE facilities due to the increasing risk of such attacks.
• 😔 ICE officers are performing their duties and should not be targeted for policies made in Washington.

Political Rhetoric and Division

• ⚖️ Crockett also expressed skepticism about the official narrative of the ICE shooting, suggesting potential political propaganda and demanding full transparency from Dallas PD.
• 📉 The exchange underscores the deepening political division and the role of inflammatory rhetoric in fueling violence.

Potential James Comey Indictment

• 🏛️ The former FBI Director James Comey may face indictment, with a grand jury considering the case.
• 🚫 Trump expressed a strong negative opinion of Comey, calling him a "bad person" and "sick guy."
• 🤔 Rivera doubts a conviction is legally possible due to the complexity of the Russia investigation and the difficulty of proving intent.
• ⚖️ He hopes the grand jury will issue a "no bill" to avoid further fueling partisan fires.

Ukraine War and Turkish Relations
