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.

Back to the not spending enough caused their death talking point. Guess they couldn’t afford to send help because of those cheap Repubs.
Pray for America to Wake Up
A strategy for sure. Can’t “critcize” what they are saying or else the race card. Now this guy is quoting CNN. These people are a pathetic example of their constituency whom voted them in.
If you repeat the same lie often enough, it becomes the truth.
“Clay up now... Back to the spin machine.”
The Congressional black caucus is fully represented at this hearing, all have their White House talking points in hand
Imagine the MSM trying to protect Nixon by dismissing the coverup and firing the reporters for misconduct.
The MSM must not care about pulitzer prizes any more.
And how long before the race card is played here today?
They are talking about a meeting where a key person that Hillary Clinton wanted at a classified meeting was cut out of because the person did not have the appropriate security clearance...
Apparently, at the time, it prevented Hillary from being able to do damage control at that point and time...
Hicks indicated that Rice’s comments on the Sunday news shows were something he bess’not investigate or question further, hmmmm.. Cover-Up...
Give this guy a drug test immediately! Slurred speech and mumblings = braindead
Excuse me Lacy Clay, while you’re blaming reps., they weren’t in the WH or State refusing to help or running guns.
Also, I remember Obie wanting to declare war on Libya, he got a no, but he got money... where did that money go?
Did Clay just bring up the sequester? He’s kidding right!
Just off the charts crazy!!!
Oh yeah.
That’s obstruction of justice!
You wouldn't do crap like this if your LIFE was on the line.
He is determined.
Tweet him that, he would love it, he is a good guy.

Dems rep on this committee are really low IQ folks, how do they get elected?
Ha! and now here is the sequestration discussion....BS!! So stupid. We are spending at WAY above record numbers. At this point, every Washington department office should be lined with GOLD.
Sometimes the best way to get answers is to play a dumb country boy from Ohio.
The good news is, the lasting impact of today’s hearings will be determined by what the witnesses say, not anything these doddering fools on the committee say.
Gee Lacy Clay, reps didn’t give money, yet they did so much.
I’m confused.
