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.

Connelly the clown gets slapped down again. First Thompson, now Hicks.
Never happen...jmo
Oh, I’m well aware of the treason, but also aware of the Dem’s talking points to cover up the treason (as much as possible for such cretins as I have seen today).
“I would be SO ashamed to be a Democrat.”
Well, since you actually have shame, you could never be a Democrat.
WaPo getting absolutely trashed on Twitter for their middle-aged men and Chic-Fil-A tweet.
They could not be more deserving of every bit of derision thrown their way.
Key information (imho)... Ansar al Sharia also controlled the hospital. Were they also in control of security at annex?
Excellent
LOLOL.
One can clearly see a pattern here, in this trial...
When it’s an (R)...there is actual questioning. They aren’t giving any kind of spiel or talking points, they are just basically asking questions of the witness.
When it’s a (D)...all it is is talking points and personal stories....a bunch of BS waste of time
And this POS Mr. Connolly, what a bloviating windbag he is...
THANK YOU, for telling me that!
That could explain the photo of the dead Ambassador leaked (from the hospital morgue).
There will be TONS of articles coming from this. TONS.
see 1534 — so far that’s all we have learned about it today.
He’s a real schlubb....
I can’t see why Fairfax C, VA keeps re-electing him....
watching hearings, just bought a chick-fil-a sandwich with a thousand dollar bill I got for my 48th birthday @washingtonpost

Rep. Duncan (R-TN) raises question of why key witnesses with first-hand knowledge were not interviewed for ARB!1
says only if one “didn’t want a complete report” could interviews leave out such direct witnesses!!
