Sleazy Jan 6th Cop, Michael Fanone, Completely Loses His Mind During The Jack Smith Hearings, Starts Swearing At Everyone, Picks Fight With A Journalist

Capitol Hill hearings are usually a mix of long speeches, dramatic pauses, and people aggressively shuffling papers. This one? Completely different energy.

Former DC Metropolitan Police officer and January 6 media figure Michael Fanone caused a major scene during a committee hearing after a heated confrontation with January 6 defendant Ivan E. Raiklin — and witnesses say it escalated fast.

According to Ivan Raiklin, the situation started when he simply extended his hand to say hello. What happened next, he claims, was Fanone “flipping a switch” and launching into an explosive tirade. ivan Raiklin later told The Gateway Pundit that Fanone appeared completely unhinged, even suggesting he may have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol — though no evidence has been presented to confirm that claim.

Video and eyewitness accounts from the hearing show Fanone screaming profanities, shouting “Go f*ck yourself,” and repeatedly yelling “Do something!” while getting directly in Raiklin’s face. At one point, he warned, “Trust me, I’m using a lot of restraint right now,” as a large man restrained him and Capitol Police moved in to de-escalate the situation.

Fanone then made extremely serious accusations, loudly claiming that Raiklin had threatened his family and children, repeatedly alleging threats of rape. Those claims have not been independently verified, but the moment stunned people in the room and quickly drew attention online.

Adding another layer to the chaos: Fanone was wearing a T-shirt reading “Fighting Nazis since 1996,” a detail that did not go unnoticed as the confrontation unfolded.

The incident happened during a hearing connected to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation, where four January 6–related police officers were reportedly present in support of Smith’s actions against former President Trump and conservative lawmakers.
