A few weeks ago, prominent J6 activist Ivan Raiklin criminally referred former police officer Michael Fanone on seven counts.
Violations range from making false statements to Congress, obstruction of official proceedings on Capitol grounds, assaulting and impeding certain officers and employees, and unlawful activities on Capitol grounds. Raiklin submitted this referral to the acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche.
Fanone was at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and claimed to be unconscious to further push the left’s anti-J6 narrative. He then testified at a January 6 committee hearing on July 27, 2021.
Raiklin, however, did not stop with just Fanone and has submitted several new criminal referrals.
Raiklin submitted one criminal referral to the Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro and FBI Director, Kash Patel. This referral deals with alleged federal criminal violations arising from January 6 investigations and related proceedings.
The referral ranges from perjury and false statements made by Officer Harry Dunn during his J6 testimony, perjury for Officer David Lazarus during an encounter with the Oath Keepers on October 31, 2022, Officer Michael Byrd in the death of Ashli Babbitt, Officer Lila Morris in the death of Rosanne Boyland, and Officer Jason Bagshaw’s excessive force used against Victoria White.
The second criminal referral was submitted to Blanche, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., requesting an investigation into the Department of Defense COVID-19 vaccine guidance, it’s implementation, and resulting violations of federal law.
On September 14, 2021, the Department of Defense issued an unconstitutional vaccine mandate for members of the armed forces. Hegseth overturned this unconstitutional vaccine mandate early last year.
The Gateway Pundit spoke to Raiklin in an exclusive interview, with Alicia Powe asking the questions. Raiklin decided to make the interview theatrical by presenting these referrals to TGP in front of reporters and correspondents of various legacy media outlets such as CNN, Fox News, NBC, and CBS so they could hear what he had to say and to “educate” these legacy outlets.
Three Criminal Investigation and Referral Requests of the Hon. @DAGToddBlanche:
I request the DOJ open criminal investigations and referrals on these three matters upon confirmation as the next United States Attorney General:

Raiklin begins the interview by recapping the original criminal referral he submitted for Fanone.
Raiklin highlighted a recent court case that forced the release of the body cam footage on J6, a huge victory and one step closer to achieving justice:
“Just a few weeks ago, Tom Fitton’s Judicial Watch actually won a court case in the District of Columbia that forced the release of the body-worn camera of the DC Metropolitan Police Department,” Raiklin told TGP.
In addition to Raiklin’s referral, Fanone is also being investigated by the Fairfax County, Virginia Police Department for a potential role Fanone had in motivation potentially of individuals to “threaten” Raiklin.
Raiklin continued by presenting his next referral and began listing the names in it.
UPDATE: @IvanRaiklin has filed several criminal referrals ranging from violations during COVID, the police officers that murdered civilians on J6, and his original referral on Michael Fanone.

“The first one, Mr. Harry Dunn. Why? On July 27, 2021, similar to Mr. Fanone, he made false statements,” Raiklin told TGP.
“He also, on October 31, 2022, along with David Lazarus U.S. Capitol Police Officer, I allege committed perjury.”
The next name that Raiklin presented was Michael Byrd, Ashli Babbitt’s killer:
“This is a criminal referral for the proposed charge of murder, 18 USC Section 1111, and that’s for January 6, 2021,” Raiklin told TGP.
“Referring to Michael Byrd expending a round into Ashli Babbitt, resulting in her death. The undersigned requests that the Department of Justice investigate whether Lieutenant Byrd at the time unlawfully caused the death of Ashli Babbitt.”
Raiklin also points out that the referral alleged that Babbitt was unarmed and did not pose an imminent threat at the time of her murder.
The next name on Raiklin’s list was Lila Morris, Rosanne Boyland’s killer:
“Officer Morris struck Rosanne Boyland multiple times with a baton while Ms. Boyland was on the ground in a vulnerable position on January 6,” Raiklin told TGP.
Boyland was already unconscious at the time of her murder as Morris continuously beat her with a baton.
The final name on the referral was Jason Bagshaw, who attempted to murder Victoria White on J6. In July, 2022, Bagshaw also fatally shot Lazarus Wilson at the Wharf in Washington, DC.
“The DOJ should investigate further whether Jason Bagshaw committed attempted murder of Victoria White,” Raiklin told TGP.
“Open a formal criminal investigation review all identified documentary, video testimony, and forensic evidence, and present any supporting violations to a federal grand jury.”
Raiklin then took the opportunity to call out the mainstream media outlets in the room for failing to do their jobs:
“And the the reason why nothing has been done is if you could pan to this entire hallway, this is the reason why nothing has been done. Because none of these journalists from the mainstream disinformation purveyors, if you will, have reported on the factual evidence of what took place on January 6th.”
Raiklin then praises The Gateway Pundit and Lindell TV (who are also present nearby in the hallway) for “being at the forefront of exposing the truth related to the most censored issues over the last six years,” and January 6 is one of them.
Raiklin compared Blanche’s work as Acting Attorney General to Pam Bondi, the former Attorney General. Blanche “seems to be moving at a light year’s faster pace than Pam Bondi.”
Raiklin ended the interview by presenting his final criminal referral, which involves a request for an investigation on the Department of Defense for implementing it’s unconstitutional vaccine mandate back in 2021:
“So what am I trying to get the Department of Justice to do is to read all the evidence that’s already been presented through Senator Rand Paul’s, R-KY, committee, through Senator Ron Johnson’s, R-WI, subcommittee on investigations underneath Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, and all the evidence that has been put forth and put together of the unlawful Department of Defense COVID-19 jab implementation memo.”
Raiklin is hoping to hold Anthony Fauci accountable for his role in the COVID-19 “plandemic.”
Michael Fanone did not respond to The Gateway Pundit’s request for comment.
