Lawyer Who Bragged About Storming Capitol Asks Judge If He Can Get a Drink with His Steak Tonight Colin Kalmbacher
Georgia attorney
William McCall Calhoun Jr. previously expressed no uncertain amount of pride for taking part in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol Complex. As a judge considered his release on Tuesday, however, Calhoun essayed a different note altogether.
“If I had to do it over again, I would not have gone into the Capitol,” he told U.S. District Judge
Dabney L. Friedrich. “I know that I messed up doing that. I apologize for being difficult.”
The judge ultimately okayed Calhoun’s bail request but not before the defendant made a remark that very well could have tanked his second bid for pre-trial release.
