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.

Greta is also doing a great job with #benghazi tweets.
I am stunned by the glaring stupidity of most of the Dem reps. A few don’t sound like idiots, but are obviously just spewing talking points. All the Republican reps have asked valid questions and are obviously intelligent and aware of the facts. I would be SO ashamed to be a Democrat.
Bump
Looking at Yahoo headlines now. Not a one about the hearings as yet, but instead I read:
"Graffiti of Charlie Sheen censored"
"How to finally stop snoring"
"Dance Partner's sabotage"
"Barkley: I had gay teammates"
"Dive goes wrong on 'Splash'"
"MLB fan's insane mohawk"
The degree of coverup for the regime is sickening.
WAPO in full CYA for OFA mode!!
BOOM!!!
Told not to proceed to board aircraft.. We have found a lie!
“there was never any kind of stand down order to anybody”
according to official Pentagon flack
but Col. Gibson was ordered to stand down and not take his team to Benghazi!!!
Not the same Patrick Kennedy
I have a very hard time with Twitter. this thread is vastly superior!
Col. Gibson was told NOT to get on that plane!
I agree. They are measured and as Krauthammer said, just getting to the FACTS.
They WERE told to stand down.” My reaction was we were on our own.”
Turner is good!
BTTT!
Yes, FR is running flawlessly!! Thanks to the management!
They don’t listen to testimony. There is nothing that could be said to make them listen. They came prepared with isolated sentences in obscure documents and consider that testimony.
Stand Down Given Twice at a minimum ... We know for certain ....
Please do not mistake stupidity for TREASON. TREASON is what happened, period end of story.
Wapo, the admitted arm of the DNC and the regime.
It’s a different Patrick Kennedy
