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.

Ask a freakin question you jackass!!!!!!!!!!
Man, these Dems are in full bunker roles.
Now they try on Clapper as a vestibule of truth......lol!!
Now whining about being mean to Amb. Rice. (eyeroll).
“There was no report from Libya about a demonstration.”
That’s right, Tierney. SHOVE IT!
You know what? From now on when someone’s brought up that’s not there, there should be an immediate subpeona and drag in.
That’s where i’m coming from.
What was Clapper’s role?
Is he testifying?
This is senseless.
I have c-span 3 back ... sorry for the interruption.
A huge thank you to everyone for commenting on the hearings for those who can’t watch.
And a huge thank you to Mesta Machine for remembering and posting and never giving up on what happened in Benghazi.
(back to lurk reading.)
They keep throwing up these Obama shills like Clapper to defend other Obama shills, and to defend Obama and Hillary.
No. They KNOW the truth... They just want to make sure it is never put on record unfiltered.
Dems still grandstanding and lying their behinds off. Vomit inducing.
Thank You
Astute observation.
No witness testified to the talking points.
Great idea Ali. I agree.
Yep, the RATs are testifying. Issa should swear them in. (Not that an oath means anything to them).
However, he just cut off by Issa.
Questioning Clapper is not the popint. And that’s the point of these rats diverting attention from what IS the point. The white hut sent the talking points out via Rice, to mislead the world on what really happened in Benghazi and the cover up was designed to protect little barry abstard mooselimb from being exposed for what he is.
Jordan up...
AND I HATE his freakin accent! Thought us NY’ers were bad!
