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.

Oh gosh.
NO it’s not about the money.
Shut up, idiot.
What the heck is this Horsford guy going on about?
Mine too. And he’s on to Republican funding cuts!
The public wants, the families want to make changes. Now we are blaming the republicans. Issa must stop this crap, NOW.
Another dumb-ass.
CSN&Y send up WRITTEN BY GREEN BERET WITH HELP FROM SEALs and sung by AMERICAN IDOL CONTESTANT SHEA BRAMER!!!
One of the 'Rats organizational problems is that the ignorant racists in the Congressional Black Caucus gather copious amounts of seniority because their districts are rock solid 'Rat.
Consequently, if the 'Rats ever regain a majority in the House, they'll have to deal with a cadre of pompous ignoramuses in line to chair every committee in sight.
As I recall, Pelosi encountered this very problem in 2006 and, rather than give Elijah Cummings the chair he was entitled to, they made him a part of leadership and gave him a limo and driver. For his part, Elijah was happy to stay on the plantation...
If the rats think they look good using this line, they gotta another think coming.
Subtle.
But now here comes the "funding" canard. The budgets he's talking about were NEVER PASSED by Reid's Senate. Completely irrelevant.
Wouldn’t that be sweet!
Horsford D-Nev beating that dead horse about funding.
Anther beat a retreat from the dems....lol. Want to now only talk about how to fix ‘problems’.
Another attempt to lame it on budget and money.
Weird..was someone not paying Obama enough that night to be the on duty to be the CIC??
and it’s alllll the Republicans fault for cutting funds..God I hate these people!
Isn’t he? Looks like a few pubbies finally grew a pair.
Now the idiot from Nevada talking about budget cuts, even though that’s already been discounted. Guess he didn’t listen well earlier. Still not asking a question, just trying to testify. Moron.
Is this DOUCHEB@G actually blaming the sequester on this?
Thank you so much for that link!
Pinging myself so I can easily find it.
Check in Michelle Malkin, also...
