Fiona Hill: Not an ‘Overstatement’ By Milley that Jan. 6th Was a ‘Dress Rehearsal’

EXCERPT:

BRENNAN: "You know, in the book 'Peril' Robert Costa and Bob Woodward wrote, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, at the end of it, is quoted as comparing the January 6th, siege of the Capitol, to The Great Dress Rehearsal. You're a Russia analyst — "
HILL: "Exactly."
BRENNAN: " — you know immediately what that phrase is, which is what Lenin called an uprising that preceded the revolution. I read that and I said, 'Dear God.'"
HILL: "Yeah."
BRENNAN: "I mean, he, the General, is saying that this is a precursor potentially to further violence? Is this overstating things in a historical sense?"
HILL: "He's not overstating it at all because — I mean, we all saw in real time what happened on January 6th at the Capitol building, and General Milley was absolutely right. Any student of history, but any observer of even American politics over the last decade — I mean, when have we seen something like this before? We haven't. Not in our lifetimes.”
