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.

Shill has resigned and is now running for president
Oh boy...
re: Thompson
Spoke to Benjamin on FEST points does not intend to lobby.
Said no discussion previously. Yikes.
Rut roh...
/dismissal of getting people out.
Live by a code, getting people out of harm’s way
Needed to demonstrate this, regardless of outcome
Connelly, jerk, goes to rip Thompson... shut down.
Next lib cover to attempt to pick Hicks apart...
Plus, understand that, if there was a Democrat majority in the House, Elijah Cummings would be the Chairman of the Oversight & Government Reform Committee.
Imagine that, if you can bear it.
Don’t forget AZ...we’re with you too!
Not true.
0bama needed as many dead as possible to cover up what was actually occurring in Benghazi. U.S. delivery of anti-aircraft missiles to Al Qaeda.
TREASON I say.
Yes. 100% that is Michelle Bachmann.
What happened? I had to step away from the ‘puter.
They could have used the unarmed drone as a missile and crashed it into the attackers.....Whatever it cost is less than one American life.
Chicago, Illinois Democrat chick.........bet she could give us some real time combat experiences.
There is NEVER anything to “see here” with these demons!
Chaffetz..another bombshell.. No one asked permission to fly into Libya....
Dropped on Obama’s door. Bam!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hicks gave that answer.
That IS confirmation!
That is damning!
I still wonder if it was requested and denied and that fact buried.
Either way, it’s damning.
What is with these black Congressmen and women not being able to get their facts straight? Embarrassing.
Thompson completely rocked this answer. “We have have a code. Others need to know they can believe that we will go after our people in peril.”
Accountability Review Board
Damning!
We are all in tears.....together.
Now Robin Kelly, total NOBODY in Jesse Jackson’s old district is some sort of big-shot. This woman is a MORON who said she wanted to confiscate all guns. She should be locked up.
Honor which our president does not possess.
This is Obama’s fault...
Bottom line!!
Im surprised the Dems in this hearing are not bringing up the fact that there is a verdict in the Jodi Arias case..Hey obviously THAT is more important right..LOL
