Live Thread: Benghazi Whistleblowers Hearing 11:30 A.M. EDT 5/08/13
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform ^ | Wednesday, May 8, 2013

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.

*** NOTE: Press seating will be reserved, but limited. Please arrive early (hearing room will open to press at 10:30 AM) to guarantee a seat. An overflow area will be available. ***

this guy Horsford does not remember that In the hearings awhile back I seem to remember it said that budget cuts were NOT an issue because if they needed more money they would have been able to take it from somewhere else (funds)...it was a female that said it

Hicks “never interviewed by the FBI.. Ever” regarding Benghazi.. If that’s not a ‘WTF’ moment, I don’t know what is.

Yes, shut up! We are subsidizing terrorists and their countries. This was not a matter of resources. They would not approve the resources available such as FEST.

Horsfield: "Can't we just move on. We want to make sure it doesn't happen again. To do this, we need...... MORE MONEY."

Horsfield: "Witnesses, do you agree with everything I said. Please restrict your answer to one word, thank you."

Mr. Horsford = Mr. Horsesass

Here we go again....let’s look to how we FIX IT...not to the fact finding this hearing is supposed to be about. And of course, it’s the “other side” that keeps blocking funds and THEY are the reason this happened? Is that what we’re supposed to take from this douchebag, who claims people need to be held accountable, but refuses to acknowledge HIS OWN PARTY and THEIR hand in ALL of this??????

Ugh....I loathe DemocRATS!!!

“Throw money at it...”

It’s an almost Pavlovian reflex as an excuse not to think.

Thinking/sound decision making is what would have saved these mens’ lives.

“Repeatedly asked the govt of Libya to secure scene, obviously didn’t.”

I am becoming more and more convinced Govt is hiding Libyan govt actions.

Was Gosar statement just MUTED?

It was on C-Span. Technical? or on purpose.

Hicks was never interviewed by FBI!!!
