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. ***

Clay sinking like a stone already...dumb as a box of rocks.
He’s already repeating the lie about Republicans cutting the security in embassies.
LMAO!!!! I love that kitty stuff!
Clay is blaming it on not enough money for security. What a joke!
He asked questions like a veteran lawyer looking for the truth. Impressive!
Rep. Clay another Democrap lying scumbag
immediately babbles about ARB and budgets
NO reason to think Libya security failed because of a budget issue!!
” (host country might not want armed drones)...”
That is exactly why the Benghazi drones were not armed.
They have their script.
Hooray! That's what we need them to do---BE THE ADULTS!!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Lol. Republicans fault.
Bush’s fault!!!!!!
You have time to Google all that information while Clay is talking. LOL.
CLAY. Another Dem questioner. I use that word loosely because he hasn’t asked the witnesses any questions. He’s trying to give testimony.
“GOP cut funding” excuse. Didn’t we refute all of these before?
I he seriously now going onto funding issues, blaming Republicans for embassy funding cuts... when that was DEBUNKED by the damn state department! There should be an IQ test to be on the committee.
There was an interview of that Doc somewhere. the ambassador and Doc were going to cut the ribbon and open a children’s hospital.
This is huge!! No doubt about it!!
Clay must want more obama phones.
Clay repeating the old lie.... Republicans wanted to cut spending for the Embassies.
