Note: Now a day later, DDC Judge Friedrich has just ordered Calhoun freed based on lack of history of violence, and ties to community. #insurrectionBlues
Calhoun proceeding not over - the proposed Internet monitoring, it seems, would intrude on attorney client privilege. So they are asking Calhoun to agree not to use social media at all, even the read the news.
Calhoun: YouTube is not social media, there's how-to
Calhoun: I think Steve Bannon's channel is on YouTube, and Rumble. Is that social media or news?
They have arrived at a "no posting" condition, saying it could be re-visited.
Calhoun: I am sorry. I will never enter the Capitol again. But I have been playing music for 15 years. I'm transitioning to that. I'm a freelance bass player.
Calhoun: My law practice is over - no one is going to hire someone for a serious felony case someone who might be going to jail. I might re-open it later. I can play music and make money.
Judge: That's aspirational. No need to broaden conditions at this point.
Calhoun has friends in DC to drive him to Georgia today into tomorrow, he says. It will take nine hours to Georgia border, then three hours past there. They might stop to sleep. He'll stay at his sister's, not in the public record. Stay out of DC. No guns.
Calhoun: Can I still go into court for clients?
Judge: Yes.
Calhoun: I'm going to put my law office building up for sale. I'll have help from my sister in Americus, but --
Judge: Come back to me.
Calhoun: My friends are gonna wanna take me out for steak and wine

Judge Castel has taken the bench, says to bring the jurors. Geovanny Fuentes is sitting at the defense table, with two U.S. Marshals citing six feet behind him. The prosecutors are the table in front, closest to the judge.
Judge Castel says the open arguments will begin in approximately 15 minutes. It is slower than usual, moving jurors around the courthouse given Covid protocols. There is a plexiglass booth for which ever lawyer is questioning, and another box for the witness.
