Chris Miller Knew
Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller not only cooperated with the plan to overthrow the US government on January 6th, he halted cooperation with the Biden transition to prevent the new administration from finding out.
Chris Miller made this “shocking” move while Mike Flynn and his allies were conspiring with Donald Trump and Mark Meadows in the White House on the evening of 12/18/20.
Background
Parts I-IV of this series exposed that there were two major plans to overthrow the government after the 2020 election.
“Plan A” was to use Executive Order 13848 regarding foreign interference in elections to create a fraudulent reason to rerun the election in swing states. “Plan B” was to prevent the peaceful transition of power through a violent insurrection at the Capitol.
“The Meeting” at the White House on December 18th, 2020 is one of the most consequential moments in US history. In the first part of the day, the former President, along with Mike Flynn, Sidney Powell, Patrick Byrne, Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows failed in their attempt to convince White House lawyer Pat Cippolone to go along with Plan A.
It is now clear that in response to Cippolone’s refusal, Flynn, who boasts about his credentials “taking over countries” and “running elections,” presented a plan to Trump to violently prevent the peaceful transition of power through a violent insurrection.
At an historic Congressional hearing last week, Meadows’ Chief of Staff Cassidy Hutchinson said her boss had spoken to both Roger Stone and Mike Flynn on January 5th, 2020, and that Meadows had taken calls in his limo that she was not allowed to overhear on January 6th itself. There was a clear inference that it was Stone and/or Flynn in communications with Meadows on the day of the insurrection.
During Hutchinson’s testimony, the January 6th Committee took the time to play Mike Flynn’s “testimony” in which he pled the Fifth Amendment to a question about the peaceful transition of power.
Chris Miller
Seditious Conspiracy
One of the more elusive figures in the conspiracy to overthrow the government on January 6th is then-Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller who was installed by Trump, along with Ezra Cohen-Watnick, Kash Patel and Anthony Tata on November 9, 2020 — after Trump lost the election.
Chris Miller was unqualified for the position, inept and corrupt but Miller not only knew about the plan for sedition, he was willing to actively take steps at the Pentagon to operationalize it.
On the night of December 18th, 2020, Chris Miller “ordered a Pentagon-wide halt to cooperation with the transition of President Joe Biden, shocking officials across the Defense Department.”
The fact that this happened at night is extremely significant. That timing would place this “shocking” action at the precise moment that Plan B was set into action. Hours later Trump would tweet that there would be a “wild protest” on January 6th.
It is of critical importance that all communications between the White House, Trump, the participants of The Meeting, Miller and his co-conspirators at the Pentagon on December 18th be subpoenaed and investigated.
Who called Chris Miller that night to order him to shut down the transition?

Not only did Miller order the halt to all communication with the Biden transition, he lied about it. This statement was false and he knew it. Miller’s job was prepare the battlefield for the insurrection which included ensuring that the Biden transition could not find out.
Leading up to the insurrection, the Biden transition repeatedly warned that they were being blocked from all meetings and information transfer from the Pentagon and that all communication had completely stopped on the night of December 18th, 2020.
Then, as discussed in Part IV of this series, on January 4th, two days before the insurrection, Chris Miller signed the smoking gun. This memo explicitly set the conditions for Chris Miller, Mike Flynn’s brother Gen. Charles Flynn, Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy and others to delay the deployment of the National Guard for hours, while they waited to see if the insurrection would succeed.
Who is Christopher Miller?
Chris Miller served in the military for decades, but nothing in his background would qualify him to be the man in charge of the most lethal force in the history of the world.
It should be noted that part of Miller’s military background included serving in the DC National Guard.
Miller was a Green Beret and served in special forces in Iraq and Afghanistan at the same time as Mike Flynn before retiring at the same time Flynn was fired in 2014.
A few months after the insurrection Chris Miller started a “think tank” called Boundary Channel Partners that offered a dizzying array of services from “thought leadership” to “mergers and acquisitions” to “cold and dry logistics.”
The executive team of Boundary Channel Partners that Chris Miller gathered is notable. They include Amanda Milius, daughter of a the famously right-wing director of Conan the Barbarian.
Milius is currently one of the leaders of “Dark MAGA” which is a particularly toxic strain of Trumpism that urges MAGA to get more extreme. She is also a prolific Big Lie propagandist and directed the fraudulent film “The Plot Against the President.
Miller’s executive team also included Barbara and Jordan Hayley both of whom are deeply involved in christo-fascist activism — including Liberty University. Jordan Hayley worked for Christopher Miller at the Pentagon and before that as an intern at the White House.
Chris Miller appears to have downsized Boundary Channel Partners which is now only himself and another seditionist who was installed at the Pentagon with Miller, former Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, white nationalist extremist Anthony Tata.
More recently, Chris Miller has thrown his influence into the political ring, which is his right as an American. However, the people he endorses and the people he associates with in the process are relevant.
For example, Chris Miller endorsed white nationalist Congressional candidate Joe Kent, who was also endorsed by Mike Flynn. The host committee for Kent’s fundraising event included:
Chris Miller
Long-time memelord and white nationalist troll Matt Braynard who organized Big Lie events including an event last September near the Capitol
Chris Cruden who was an executive of Boundary Channel Partners and an advisor to Ezra Cohen-Watnick at the Pentagon on 1/6
Amanda Milius
Mike Flynn operative Ivan Raiklin who helped plan and execute the insurrection and continues to run criminal missions for Flynn
International terrorist Erik Prince
Neo-nazi Russian propagandist Jack Posobiec who has been working with Mike Flynn since 2016
The Attempted Cover-up
A few days after Biden’s inauguration, Vanity Fair published this story by Adam Ciralsky, who was fired from the CIA over 20 years ago for lying about his relationship to Israeli intelligence.
Here are a few other stories written by Adam Ciralsky which seek to elevate Israeli intelligence special forces and protect their American assets Erik Prince and Peter Thiel.
In his intentionally deceptive story about the insurrection, Ciralsky white-washes the involvement of Chris Miller and his co-conspirators at the Pentagon including Cohen-Watnick, Patel and Tata by name.
However, Ciralsky does offer this observation, which contains an element of truth. Miller is the bumbling frontman who seems like he could never pull anything this complicated off — which is true. It was Cohen and Patel, two of Mike Flynn’s closest allies, that executed Flynn’s treasonous mission. But Christopher Miller knew and he did his part.
Since then, Christopher Miller has clumsily deflected, denied and complained his way around any accountability for his seditious conspiracy leading up to January 6th including his testimony before Congress in the months after the insurrection. Miller repeatedly says he feels no regrets about his actions and has “not lost a single moment of sleep.”
In this interview on Jill Wine-Banks’ show, Chris Miller whines, badgers and evades any questions about his involvement. When asked directly if he knew what would take place he says he had “not a clue.”
In this June 6th, 2022 interview on Hannity, Chris Miller and Kash Patel do their best to cover up for their actions and blame anyone else. Chris Miller is objectively not in command of all his faculties at this point. He’s agitated, disordered and seems, well, very nervous.
Here are several different stories by Chris Miller and Kash Patel surrounding the events of January 6th.
In the Hannity interview Patel and Miller disclose that they had a meeting on January 4th with Trump and Gen. Milley where Miller claims Trump authorized 20,000 National Guard troops. The problem with that is that he explicitly said it was to “protect pro Trump people.” As we now know, Trump wanted to lead those armed “pro Trump people” into the Capitol itself.
Finally, the DOD Inspector General’s Report that came out a few months after the insurrection was factually wrong and obviously relied on the false testimony of the same men who were installed at the Pentagon to enable the overthrow of American democracy.
The former Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy and the current Commanding General of the US Army Pacific Charles Flynn, both of whom conspired with Chris Miller to ensure the Capitol was undefended on 1/6, were called “absolute liars” by the head of Chris Miller’s old assignment, the DC National Guard.
Chris Miller Must Testify Before the January 6th Committee
Christopher Miller had control the United States military. He was entrusted with the most powerful destructive force on earth with hundreds of thousands of service members and trillions of dollars of weapons including thousands of nukes under his command.
Chris Miller not only failed in his duty to defend the Constitution, he actively tried to cause a constitutional crisis, keep an illegitimate president in power, and destroy the country he took an oath to protect. He intentionally paved the way for tens of thousands of armed insurrectionists to go into the Capitol to murder politicians and police officers.
The scale of Chris Miller’s treason cannot be ignored. We must not let this man or his co-conspirators in the Pentagon live one more day as free men — much less pay one more taxpayer dollar to the disgrace they have made of themselves as veterans.
Recall them, court martial them, and put them in prison.
