Hearing details:
WASHINGTON – House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa today announced three witnesses who will appear at a full committee hearing, “Benghazi: Exposing Failure and Recognizing Courage,” on Wednesday, May 8, 2013, at 11:30 AM in 2154 Rayburn House Office Building.
“I applaud these individuals for answering our call to testify in front of the Committee. They have critical information about what occurred before, during, and after the Benghazi terrorist attacks that differs on key points from what Administration officials – including those on the Accountability Review Board – have portrayed,” said Issa. “Our committee has been contacted by numerous other individuals who have direct knowledge of the Benghazi terrorist attack, but are not yet prepared to testify. In many cases their principal reticence of appearing in public is their concern of retaliation at the hands of their respective employers. While we may yet add additional witnesses, this panel will certainly answer some questions and leave us with many new ones.”
Witnesses: Mr. Mark Thompson
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism
US Department of State
Mr. Gregory Hicks
Foreign Service Officer and former Deputy Chief of Mission/Chargé d’Affairs in Libya
US Department of State
Mr. Eric Nordstrom
Diplomatic Security Officer and former Regional Security Officer in Libya
US Department of State
In October 2012, the Oversight Committee held the first hearing on the Benghazi attacks, which exposed denials of security requests and forced the Administration to acknowledge that the attacks were not sparked by a protest of a YouTube video, contrary to claims made by Obama Administration officials.

“The Committee needs to call General Ham to testify. Subpoena him if necessary.”
Yup! He is the guy who can blow this whole thing wide open. Where is he? Is he a coward? If his first instinct was to defy the stand down order, he has to have some patriotic remorse over what happened. Is it about him losing his pension? Hell, General this is your chance to make history. Afterward you can write a book and makes a lot more than your pension would pay. It is your chance to be a hero. Are you a patriot, or a coward?
AND THAT'S THE MEME! We have seen it posted several times already.
By claiming a "system failure", Odinga and Hildebeast are insulated and absolved of personal responsibility.
Watch carefully. That's all there ever is, was, or will be, to this show trial.
"System Failure" - it's an easily-swallowed blue pill for the masses.
Oops....Fox .Benghazi on back burner.......Amanda Berry (Cleveland) is putting on makeup, getting ready for first and only interview.
I KNEW IT!
“Fox News Alert: Awaiting Amanda Berry live statement at 11:30 AM”
So there goes Fox when this thing starts.
Well, it takes congress at least thirty minutes to kiss each others ass so we won’t miss much.
Oops, that was a replay of a MOnday briefing.
No wonder I rarely watch television...900 channels of bull cheet pap for the easily amused and those with empty brain boxes...
OUTSTANDING resource. Thanks for your effort. I agree with others recommending that your excellent post should stand alone.
TELL me that’s a joke
Did ya notice how government types are always applauding each other and telling everyone what a great job their all doing?
I think that was a rerun of yesterday’s State Dept briefing..
Started watching a minute ago. Just saw Chaffetz and Gowdy.It’s time for the Hilderbeast hunt to begin.
bumping your post!
DC Chapter is supposed to be there today. Is anyone gonna be reporting in?
Fox is in bed with the all other media.....brushing aside the IMPORTANT for the SENSATIONAL!
