Live Thread: Benghazi Whistleblowers Hearing 11:30 A.M. EDT 5/08/13
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform ^ | Wednesday, May 8, 2013

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.

*** NOTE: Press seating will be reserved, but limited. Please arrive early (hearing room will open to press at 10:30 AM) to guarantee a seat. An overflow area will be available. ***

Totally disregarded his testimony that they could not get into Benghazi for 18 days. Reinventing.

Maloney’s allegation that she didn’t get to talks with Thompson got slapped down.

[The Dems didn’t want to talk to him or they could have. The apparently didn’t ask or try to contact him. Maloney did admit that they contacted Thompson’s lawyer. None of the Dems reviewed the materials provided via the State Department, either, per Chaffetz in a statement on FoxNews this morning. Maloney was trying to create an ‘incident’ and it blew up in her face.]

“Very good news.... now excite her.”

Maybe you meant “execute” her?

Not that I watch Fox anymore (just FoxBiz), but even when I did Greta was strongest - unless there was a big trial on and she was unwatchable.

sheeeesh..only thing missing with Maloney is the cig hanging from her mouth as she ask if you want more coffee after having her bring you two greasy eggs with old stale toast....she looks like she coulda been a second on a sitcom about food poisoning.
