Samuel J. Fisher
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageSamuel J. Fisher is a New Yorker who built a public life on the Upper East Side, working as a dating and confidence coach under the name Brad Holiday. FACT: His January 6 charges in the District of Columbia were misdemeanors, entering the Capitol and disorderly conduct in a restricted building. (Court record; DOJ.) Charges are charges, and we state no guilt beyond what a court found. FACT: Separately, and in a different court, New York State prosecutors charged him with weapons possession after a search of his apartment. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced in 2022 to three and a half years on that state gun case. (Gothamist; Rolling Stone; Bloomberg.) That is a distinct New York matter, not the January 6 case, and we keep the two clearly apart. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. A coach who spent his career telling other people to be bolder now has his own comeback to write. If this is Samuel, his side belongs here. THE RECORD Case No. 1:21-cr-142, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (January 6 case). Arrested 01/20/2021. Charged by information 02/19/2021. Pleaded guilty 07/06/2022. Sentenced 10/07/2022 on the DC case to 120 days, 12 months supervised release, 60 hours community service, 500 dollars restitution. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
