A Firsthand Account of the Jan. 6 US Capitol Attack from the ONLY Federal Prosecutor Who Was There

There was one federal prosecutor who was assigned by the Department of Justice to be present at, observe, and work the protest-turned-insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6th, 2021. Former federal prosecutor Alyse Adamson (Constantinide) is that person. For the first time, Alyse tells her story on air, and it is a riveting account of what she witnessed and experienced on the grounds of the Capitol on January 6th. As she watched the brutal attacks on law enforcement and experienced the pepper spray/bear spray first hand, she told her DOJ supervisors, "This is terrorism!" After spending January 6th, 2021, watching the Trump-incited mob trying to stop the certification of Joe Biden's election win, Alyse spent January 7th representing the people of the United States in court as the first rioters to be arrested in connection with the Capitol attack were arraigned in court for the the crimes they committed the day before.
