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.

Michelle Malkin’s #benghazi tweets are on fire!!
I read an article that when the Turk left Stevens (8:30), IIRC, terrorists were already setting up roadblocks.
And now Lynch. Another MASSHOLE. Why not just bring in that commie, Markey.
Another Dem BS artist is up.
Hicks is my new hero. What a guy!
Off topic, why do so many congressmen have either horrible wigs or really weird haircuts? I know Washington is show biz for ugly people...but do they have to push the envelope?!
No litigation regarding security was taken by D.C. from those on the ground in Libya.
Sorry, you are correct....1 hour and 10 minutes.
You are right! He didn’t mention the alleged “protest”.
Lynch D-Mass
Very curious what he will come up with?
Question...are those just photographers on the floor in front of the witnesses, or are they actual “reporters”? And if reporters, shouldn’t they be doing more than just sitting there?
Ok, that last question is rhetorical....

Democraps worship the ARB report whitewash
Go to hell Rep. Lynch

GOOD!
The deficit decisions,Mr. lynch, originated in the White House!!
Mr. Mica is a Republican? He needs to switch his party affiliation along with his hair.
who will fall hillary or obama?
Totally agree...what, no spouse to set them right? If I were Mica’s wife, I’d dip into the cookie jar for a new weave or plugs or somethin’. ...sheesh.
I wish the witnesses were asked to respond to Sec Clinton’s repeated assertion about the video even when she is in front of the caskets of their colleagues. Several days later.
yep, it goes all the way to obama
