He also advised Trump in 2016
Expected to maintain role as a Trump advisor
He is leaving to join a tech start-up company
Company said to own social media platform under 'consideration' by Trump
Trump scuttled his 'From the Desk of' web site
He was banned from Twitter and Facebook after Jan. 6th Capitol riot
Miller has used his own social media presence to blast out Trump statements
Miller will become the CEO of the company – which Trump is reportedly considering for his own use. The former president has been hunting for a new media platform amid ongoing bans by Twitter and Facebook.
Miller will continue to operate within Trump's circle, a source told DailyMail.com, adding that there isn't an immediate start date or official announcement. The unidentified company owns one of the social media platforms Trump is said to be considering for his next move.
Politico reported the move late Thursday Thursday.
Miller has fielded queries on Trump's behalf since Trump skipped Joe Biden's inauguration and decamped first to Mar-a-Lago then to his private club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
He also served as a senior advisor to Trump's unsuccessful 2020 reelection campaign. Since January, he has helped develop statements Trump fired off from his 'Save America' PAC that frequently skewered President Joe Biden, in a break with tradition for recent ex-presidents.

Michigan Supreme Court Deals Blow to Crooks and Cheaters – Rules in Favor of Pathway to Repeal Whitmer’s Emergency Powers of Governor Act
By Jim Hoft Published June 12, 2021 at 11:54am
The Michigan Supreme Court dealt a blow to the lawless Democrat leadership in the state.
The court ruled in favor of a pathway to repeal Governor Whitmer’s emergency power grab from 2020 that allowed Democrats to use any measure possible to cheat legal voters in the state.
The Board of State Canvassers must certify a voter initiative to repeal the Emergency Powers of Governor Act, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled in a Friday order.
That means that once the board acts on the court’s order, the Republican-controlled Legislature can repeal the law with majority votes in each chamber, and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer will be unable to veto the measure.
The Printing Companies that Supplied Ballots in the 2020 Election May Be As Guilty as Voting Machine Companies in Potentially Altering the 2020 Election Results
By Joe Hoft Published June 12, 2021 at 12:30pm
Ballot printers must be certified by voting machine companies in order to print ballots for elections.
Ballot printing is very expensive and specialized electronic voting machines, like Dominion’s, require specially-made ballots. This requires very expensive print machines, some only available as special orders from Germany. The paper ballots, which are tailor-made to fit these exact Dominion voting machine parameters, can only be ordered through specific, approved print shops. You cannot just go to the corner print shop in town and order a batch!

Both PA chambers have now approved the full termination of the disaster declaration of emergency from Gov. Tom Wolf. It’s finally over.
The Pennsylvania legislature has formally voted to end the state's pandemic emergency disaster declaration. That makes it official. Mark Pynes | mpynes@pennlive.com
Using the powers voters awarded them last month, the state Legislature’s Republican majorities brought a sudden end Thursday to Gov. Tom Wolf’s pandemic disaster declarations.
Resolutions to formally close the 16-month state of emergency passed on mostly party line votes first by a 30-20 margin in the Senate, and later in the House, 121-81.
The actions are effective with Thursday’s votes, since the Constitutional amendments passed by statewide ballot referendums on May 18 now give the General Assembly the authority to end a governor’s emergency declaration with a simple majority vote.
For many Pennsylvanians, the legislative votes simply put a political stamp on an unusual era that - for all intents and purposes - ended with one or two vaccination shots earlier this year. Even Gov. Tom Wolf, the architect of the prolonged disaster regimen, stood down all the broad public health restrictions but for certain masking mandates effective with Memorial Day.
The final language did contain some compromises.
While ending the disaster declaration, the measures passed Thursday do leave most of the nearly 500 regulatory changes taken under Wolf’s original and renewed disaster declarations intact through September.
These changes, effected through the administration’s emergency powers as the pandemic played out, did things like suspending certification and licensure renewals for doctors
and other direct care workers, which allowed recent retirees to supplement hospital and other medical staffs as demand soared.
Other emergency changes loosened rules governing on-line provision of medical services during the pandemic, while still more allowed the state to maximize the number of vaccine providers and improve vaccine distribution.
Keeping the regulatory changes in place for the short term was the result of a compromise between legislative leaders and Wolf’s team that gives all sides three months to determine what COVID-19 rules they need to keep, which they want to keep to prevent federal funds from being blocked, which they
want to keep for policy reasons, and which should be sunsetted.
Even so, Wolf’s office expressed disappointment with Thursday’s vote, noting the legislature also has the power now to extend the state of emergency.
“The governor is disappointed that the Republican-controlled General Assembly has not taken action to extend the disaster declaration,” Press Secretary Lyndsay Kensinger said in a statement released after the votes.
“To avoid serious consequences, the administration will do everything it can to work with the federal government to try to maintain federal funding in the absence of a declaration. Now, when the election is certified, and the constitutional amendments become effective, the COVID-19 disaster declaration will be terminated.”
Republicans applauded today’s actions, which put a period on furious efforts to end pandemic restrictions that gained steam with some business owners last May and have led to various legislative, court and political battles.
They achieved their goal with the passage of the amendments last month. For many in the majority, Thursday’s vote was matter of honoring that result.
“My constituents have spoken loudly, they want this over,” said Sen. Cris Dush, R-Jefferson County.
Still, most Democrats in the legislature voted against the disaster-ending resolution.
Some said they believe it’s too early from a public health standpoint, even though nearly 60 percent of Pennsylvania’s adult population is now fully vaccinated.
“There is no guarantee that the vaccines are going to be effective against new mutations,” warned Sen. Amanda Cappelletti, D-Montgomery County. “What happens when the virus rears its ugly head again and we’re caught flat-footed? It’ll be worse than 2020.
“This is a move to gain political points for the next election cycle. It’s not legislating with the health and safety of Pennsylvanians as the priority, which is what we should be doing,” she continued. “Passing this resolution could cost us lives, and I hope that the deaths of those Pennsylvanians will haunt those who vote yes for this resolution for the rest of their lives.”
Others expressed concern that the Republican majorities were rushing to the end before getting absolute certainty that ending the emergency won’t staunch the flow of hundreds of millions of pandemic-related federal funding that has helped to protect the state’s neediest residents.
They were particularly worried about closing the door to emergency Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funding, that has provided extra monthly benefits to several hundred thousand households in Pennsylvania through the pandemic.
During Thursday’s debate, Senate Majority Leader Kim Ward, R-Westmoreland County, was unable to definitively guarantee that the extra SNAP benefits won’t be affected, saying her understanding is that in the worst case scenario the extra funding would at least run through the summer months.
But Ward also promised she and her colleagues will bend every effort to make sure they are protected, and said the temporary extension of the regulatory suspensions and waivers is proof of their good faith on that point, even as Wolf’s ability to order unilateral business closures or limit public gatherings has ended.
“We were able to protect those waivers until the end of September, while we try to back out of this situation we’re in. We did not get in it all in one day, and we’re not going to get out of it all in one day,” Ward said. “... But the people of Pennsylvania wanted the emergency to be over. It’s over. It was going to be over at some point, and that over is today.”

After Tormenting General Flynn with Judicial Acts Never Seen Before, Corrupt Judge Sullivan Now Is Persecuting Trump Supporters from Jan 6 Protest
By Joe Hoft Published June 12, 2021 at 9:00am
Judge Sullivan oversaw the government’s case against General Flynn and refused to dismiss the case after both the prosecutors and Flynn’s attorneys agreed to drop it. This same insane and corrupt judge is now torturing Trump Supporters arrested after the protest on January 6th.
Now the same judge is tormenting innocent Americans, some held in solitary confinement in DC jails, for accused crimes insinuated by the corrupt politicians and courts in DC.
What is happening right now in DC is outrageous. The accusations and charges are likely phony, the crimes are mostly non-existent and those charged are being abused by this government. It’s no surprise corrupt Judge Sullivan is right in the middle of it all.
AOC’s Aunt Blames Puerto Rico Politicians, Not Trump — “We Had The Assistance”
June 12, 2021 at 8:15am
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) aunt is pushing back on AOC’s blaming of Trump.
According to a report from The Daily Mail, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s aunt does not blame the Trump Administration for her grandmother’s living conditions.
According to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s aunt, Puerto Rico had enough assistance, but it didn’t get to the people.
She said it was “a problem here in Puerto Rico with the administration.”
This is at odds with what Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed.
On June 2nd, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted out a photo of the poor living conditions her Grandmother was living in.
She blamed the Trump Administration for it saying that they “blocked” relief money for Puerto Rico.
Putin Reveals Personal Thoughts On Trump & Biden In Rare NBC Interview
BY TYLER DURDEN SATURDAY, JUN 12, 2021 - 12:00 PM
Russian President Vladimir Putin this week sat down for an interview with a US media outlet for the first time in nearly three years. NBC's Keir Simmons talked to Putin for about 90 minutes, and released a teaser segment Friday night.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the conversation centered on the Russian leader's perspective on American politics and his personal thoughts and comparison of Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Putin called the former president "extraordinary" and "talented" while noting that Biden is "radically different" and is a quintessential "career man" in politics.
"Well even now, I believe that former U.S. president Mr. Trump is an extraordinary individual, talented individual, otherwise he would not have become U.S. President," Putin told Simmons.
"He is a colorful individual. You may like him or not. And, but he didn't come from the US establishment, he had not been part of big time politics before, and some like it some don’t like it but that is a fact."
In contrast, he said of President Biden:
"...President Biden is a career man. He has spent virtually his entire adulthood in politics," Putin said in part. "That's a different kind of person, and it is my great hope that yes, there are some advantages, some disadvantages, but there will not be any impulse-based movements, on behalf of the sitting U.S. president."
MSNBC @MSNBC In an exclusive interview with @KeirSimmons , President Putin responds to being called a "killer" by President Biden, ahead of Biden-Putin summit next week. http://msnbc.com/live

Also interesting is Putin's response to the March George Stephanopoulos interview with Biden wherein the US President dubbed Putin a "killer" with "no soul". Putin responded in this new NBC clip:
"Over my tenure, I've gotten used to attacks from all kinds of angles and from all kinds of areas under all kinds of pretext, and reasons and of different caliber and fierceness and none of it surprises me." Putin called the "killer" label "Hollywood macho."
Putin also took aim at a recent Washington Post report over Russia-Iranian military relations and the transfer of advanced satellite systems. "It’s just fake news," Putin dismissed. "At the very least, I don’t know anything about this kind of thing. Those who are speaking about it probably will maybe know more about it. It’s just nonsense, garbage."

John Solomon has uncovered new emails from the ‘laptop from hell’ which show that Hunter Biden didn’t pay taxes on his Burisma income while his father was Vice President.
Let that sink in. The Vice President’s son was not paying taxes, while hard working American’s give half their paycheck to the government.
I have a feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Wisconsin Senate Passes GOP-Backed Election Bills, Including Absentee Voting Restrictions
BY JACK PHILLIPS June 10, 2021 Updated: June 10, 2021
The Wisconsin Senate passed several Republican-backed bills on June 9 that would place more restrictions on absentee balloting—which GOP lawmakers have described as measures designed to safeguard elections in the state, while Democrats claim they’re designed to suppress voter turnout.
A measure approved by voice vote included placing restrictions on ballot drop boxes, which were widely used in Wisconsin during the general election on Nov. 3. The new bill would stipulate that municipalities won’t have more than four drop boxes, depending on population.
“This bill enables the voters to have another option to vote, and it’s in a secure place,” Republican Sen. Alberta Darling said about the legislation, according to WPR. “I think people care about the integrity of elections.”
Another bill passed by the Senate would require individuals who are deemed “indefinitely confined” to provide identification before getting ballots in the mail for future elections. An indefinitely confined voter, according to Wisconsin state law, is someone who is “confined because of age, physical illness or infirmity or is disabled for an indefinite period.” Such a person “may by signing a statement to that effect … [and] require that an absentee ballot be sent to the elector automatically for every election.”
Republican Sen. Duey Stroebel said that a large number of people took advantage of the “indefinitely confined” status during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It’s important that we accommodate truly indefinitely confined voters, but unfortunately in the last election, we saw other people who weren’t truly indefinitely confined, and they were abusing that system,” Stroebel said, WPR reported.
Republican senators also voted to approve a bill that would prohibit clerks from accepting grant money and equipment from outside groups.
A bill that would place new requirements for voting at nursing homes was also approved. That bill would implement notification requirements for family members of residents about the days that voting assistants could visit.
The measure would create a felony penalty for employees of nursing homes who try to influence a resident’s voting behavior during the election.
Democrats alleged that state Republicans are trying to suppress voters, and claimed that such restrictions were racist. Several GOP senators also joined Democrats on several of the election bills.
“These bills are in seek of a problem that does not exist in the state of Wisconsin,” said Rep. Melissa Agard, a Democrat, The Associated Press reported. “They’re making it harder for our friends and neighbors across the state to vote, especially our seniors, especially our people with disabilities, especially people of color. … Plain and simple, this is voter suppression, and that to me is not OK.”
But Darling said her GOP colleagues aren’t attempting to overturn the 2020 election.
The measures, if approved by the state Assembly, will likely be vetoed by Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat who has previously signaled opposition to previous GOP-backed election bills. Evers has said he won’t sign anything that makes it more difficult for people to vote.
Election Assessment in Pennsylvania County Uncovers Five ‘Issues of Note’
BY ZACHARY STIEBER June 12, 2021 Updated: June 12, 2021
An election assessment conducted in a Pennsylvania county months ago and quietly released to the public in recent weeks uncovered five errors, including three linked to Dominion Voting Systems, whose election management system is used in the county, the assessing firm said.
Wake Technology Services Inc. (Wake TSI), a Pennsylvania-based firm, conducted the assessment in Fulton County. Workers visited the county’s offices late last year and about a month later, on Feb. 9.
The assessment was meant to review the mail-in ballots in the county and explore whether conduct relating to absentee ballot requests, distribution, receipt, and counting were in line with federal and commonwealth guidelines, Wake TSI said in the 93-page report that was quietly published on the county’s website, with no public fanfare, in May.
Wake TSI personnel did not conduct a technology forensic audit of the operating system or election management system (EMS) but did review some system file dates, log files, ballot images, and other files.
Wake TSI said in its report summary that it found that the election “was well run, was conducted in a diligent and effective manner and followed the directions of Pennsylvania.” No anomalies were reported during the election process and expectations were that the assessment would not show any indications of fraud, error, interference, or misconduct.
However, Wake TSI said it found five “issues of note,” including that Dominion failed to meet the commonwealth’s certification standards; that the election management system had Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools installed, despite the software not being part of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s certified configuration; and that changes were made to the management system just three weeks prior to the election.
Assessors said there is “no valid reason” for the software to be installed on the system and that the presence “allows any user with access to change and manipulate the EMS databases without logging [recording] to the Database, EMS, or [operating system] logfiles.”
They also said that Dominion failed to fill out a document that attests that the installed software versions conformed with certified reasons, with Dominion apparently claiming filling out the form was “optional.”
Dominion Voting Systems disputed the report’s findings related to it.
The Microsoft software “is a federally-certified component of Dominion’s system, which meets U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) Voluntary Voting System Guidelines,” a spokesperson said in an email, adding: “Only federal and state entities have the authority to certify voting machines. Dominion’s systems have been certified by both the U.S. EAC and the State of Pennsylvania.”
A search of the voluntary guidelines did not turn up any mention of Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools, which can be used to create, debug, maintain, and rewrite the source code of a database.
The Microsoft software in question can help recover from a corrupted database if there’s a crash, such as a crash caused by a power surge, but can also be used for nefarious purposes, according to Greg Miller, chief operating officer of the OSET Institute, a California-based nonprofit that researches, develops, and educates on elections technology reform. The type of assessment Wake TSI conducted would not be able to uncover whether it was used for something malfeasant.
The nonprofit’s policy and technology teams went over the assessment and found cause for concern and spaces where both the county and Dominion could improve, he added.
“No direct evidence of any malfeasance but, boy, people deserve better. There were some fundamental mistakes that were made there and I think Dominion owes some answers,” he told The Epoch Times.
The report showed “a couple of bureaucratic errors that would leave the average voter wondering, and they should, they should wonder,” he said. “It doesn’t look good. It looks awful. Unfortunately, the kind of digital forensic analysis we would want to do to determine if the presence of those toolkits caused any problems is almost impossible now,” he said, adding that election machines that are under suspicion would ideally be sequestered immediately before being audited.
The errors included the county not keeping documentation on whether logic and accuracy testing was done on the machines, which is inconsistent with the Pennsylvania Department of State’s conditions for certification, and Dominion’s stated failure to fill out the attestation form.
Logic and accuracy tests are done on machines before elections to make sure that voting equipment and ballots set to be used in an election can properly tabulate the results.
Wake TSI’s report states that Fulton County apparently “never had a Logic and Accuracy test documented,” adding: “This is not to say whether or not the L&A testing has been completed, but there is nothing documenting that the process was completed.”
Wake TSI explained that the issue is not minor because inaccurate scanning can significantly impact election results, using the example of alignment of a candidate’s voting circle being off by a fraction of an inch, which would render the system unable to properly read the ballot, which would then go through the adjudication process, which is open to interpretation by election workers.
“A simple human error, or a bad actor, could cause huge issues with accurate ballot counting if it is not caught by proper testing both before and after an election, as it is required by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,” the firm said, blaming both Dominion and Pennsylvania’s Department of State.
The Department of State did not respond to multiple queries for this article.
According to Fulton County commission meeting minutes, commissioners discussed on Dec. 29, 2020, on a third-party team that wanted to inspect the 2020 election results. Commissioners Stuart Ulsh and Randy Bunch, both Republicans, supported the inspection but the lone Democrat commissioner, Paula Shives, said she would only be agreeable to an inspection if machines were not removed. She also said that she wanted to be present for the inspection.
Wake TSI visited the county offices two days later, collecting copies of log files, images of scanned ballots, and other materials. Patti Hess, the county’s director of elections and voter registration, or Bunch remained in the room with the ballots during the entire course of the review, according to the minutes and the election assessment.

Ulsh motioned at a Jan. 12 meeting to permit Wake TSI to complete the mail-in ballot portion of the election review. Bunch voted yes. Shives voted no “because she feels anyone wanting to review election materials should go through the legal process and obtain a subpoena,” according to minutes of the meeting.
The commissioners noted participating in the second visit, which they described as an audit, in their Feb. 9 meeting.
No further mention was made of the assessment until May 11, when Ulsh motioned that the Wake TSI’s report would be placed on the county’s website after the firm released it. All three commissioners approved the motion.
The two Republican commissioners in the county did not respond to repeated requests for comment. Shives, the lone Democrat, answered an initial query about the assessment by pointing The Epoch Times to Wake TSI’s report. She did not respond to further questions.
Hess on June 2 declined to comment, saying she was too busy with primary certification. Responding to a followup inquiry a week later, she directed questions about the assessment to the commissioners.
Wake TSI did not return multiple requests for interviews or comment.
Wake TSI also included in its assessment analysis on what it described as ballot-scanning errors, saying the scanning errors identified in two sets of log files exceeded the allowable error rate set by the federal government.
However, Miller said he did not know of the error rate they cited and that the number of errors found was not unusual.
Dominion told The Epoch Times via email: “Claims of ‘scanning errors’ are also incorrect as they do not relate to Dominion’s system. These are benign instances where ballots were not fed into the scanner correctly and were ejected [‘reversed’] for the voter to try again or instances of ballot mistakes such as overvoting or blank ballots.”
Another election expert said he did not think Wake TSI uncovered anything significant.
“Bottom line: Wake TSI didn’t find anything of substance that went wrong. In my analysis of elections over the last ten years, I have found a lot of errors made by tired people under pressure using a complicated computer system. I have never seen anything that looked intentional or that looked like an attempt at fraud. I don’t read anything in the Wake TSI report that would suggest otherwise, and I read a lot in the Wake report that points out how little they knew about analysis of election data,” Duncan Buell, chair emeritus-NCR chair in computer science and engineering at the University of South Carolina, told The Epoch Times in an email.
“There are experts who analyze elections. (I believe I am one of them.). I don’t see that Wake was anywhere close to that space until they were called on for the specific purpose of finding evidence that might support The Big Lie. They didn’t find the evidence, so they focus on the nits,” he added.
But Pennsylvania lawmakers said the assessment’s findings motivated recent calls for an audit in the state.
“I’ve only done a preliminary review of the audit, however my first concern is the lack of L&A inspections of the voting system after the changes were made to the system. The non-certified database tools (I have learned of SQL being discovered in machines in other states when it is not a software product permitted under the Election Assistance Commission guidance) are of significant concern as they allow for manipulation of data and facilitate the transmittal and reception of modifications to data from outside of the machines in question,” Pennsylvania Sen. Cris Dush, a Republican, told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement.

“Constituents from across the Commonwealth continue to have questions about the 2020 Election. Because responses from the Department of State and other state government officials have not answered these many concerns, Senator Argall believes all options should be considered—including an assessment of the Fulton County audit and how it was conducted,” added Jim Brugger, a spokesman for Pennsylvania Sen. Dave Argall, a Republican who chairs the Senate’s State Government Committee.
The assessment showed blunders by both the county and Dominion but also indicated that the election ran largely correctly, according to Miller of the OSET Institute. Still, the issues identified highlight the need for technology that’s more easily examined by auditors and others, he added.
“The problem here is you’ve got black box technology when we need glass box technology,” he said.
Wake TSI’s assessment was “set” by Pennsylvania Sen. Doug Mastriano, a Republican, according to a Dec. 31, 2020 document signed by Wake TSI that was obtained and published (pdf) by the Arizona Mirror and the Washington Post. Mastriano declined to comment. Wake TSI says in its assessment that Mastriano and Pennsylvania Sen. Judy Ward “were aware of our efforts.”
The document also said the Wake TSI was “contracted to Defending the Republic,” a nonprofit founded by lawyer Sidney Powell, who has claimed widespread fraud occurred in last year’s election.
Contact information was not listed on the nonprofit’s website. Powell did not respond to an email.
Hess, Fulton County’s elections director, told acting Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Veronica Degraffenreid last month that “various members” of the state legislature asked for Wake TSI to do an audit in the county.
“Since we believe in transparency, we agreed to let them come in and do the audit,” she wrote in the letter, which was sent last month and obtained by the Post.
Hess said that that Wake had three people in the room where the ballots were stored. Hess would hand a ballot to one, who would write down who was voted for before passing it on to a second person, who also wrote down the ballot result. The third person then took a picture of the ballot.
The team also took backups of “key data on our computers used in the ballot counting process” and used a system imaging tool to “take complete hard drive images” of computers used in the election, she added.
Wake TSI was later subcontracted by Florida-based Cyber Ninjas to help audit ballots in Maricopa County, Arizona. In its statement of work, Cyber Ninjas cited Wake’s experience in Fulton County and said the firm had workers that have been involved in investigating election fraud issues dating back to 1994.
The Maricopa County audit started on April 23. Wake TSI stopped working on the audit as of May 14, choosing not to renew its contract. The ballot review work was taken over by Arizona-based StratTech Solutions. The audit is expected to wrap up by the end of June, with a report on what auditors found expected in July or August.
