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.
