Today William McCall Calhoun, the Georgia attorney who allegedly said he was among the first who “kicked in Nancy Pelosi’s office door” and that Pelosi would’ve been “torn into little pieces” if the mob found her during the Capitol siege, had a bail hearing. He was arrested on January 15 and charged with entering a restricted building or grounds; violent entry or disorderly conduct; and tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant for his role in the January 6th insurrection. It looks as though Calhoun will be staying behind bars as U.S. Magistrate Judge Charles Weigle denied his request for bail.
