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.

Not being carried on any networks. Fox carried a little of the hearings. Nothing blackout from the rest, including CSPAN.
NYT GWBush’s fault, root of sequester.
They will have to be forcibly removed...each finger pried away from their position. They will NEVER admit guilt and will never...unfortunately...be procecuted. We haven’t in us to insist on it.
According to the rats: “nothing to see here!”
BTTT
HOLY COW!!!! Daniel Benjamin just stated earlier that Bureau being out of the loop was untrue. Just amazing stuff here and NO MEDIA COVERAGE! Oh well, WE are covering it!
After listening to this today... I'm ok with this option.
The sooner the better.
What is ARB? I have been seeing it all through this thread today.
It’s being televised on CSPAN 3 if you get that.
Circling back to whether CTU was cut out. Emphasizing the code that we DO NOT leave ours behind.
Thompson is powerful right now!
This brought me to tears: “We live by a code...to get them out of harms way.” This is about honor.
but you can bet they’ll be all over the Jody Arias verdict within an hour
Doesn’t matter.
Chavetz is brilliant.
Have been watching and reading the thread. Have to ask, IS Michelle Bachmann sitting behind Mr. Thompson?
“. I’m ok with this option. “
So am I!
If it was a school shooting in Cleveland I would be seriously suspicious, but I do feel for those girls, just unfortunate timing.
I am, too...but do we have ANY representation that has the guts to do it? I have seen no evidence of that.
Possibly Cruz, but he isn’t in this loop I fear.
