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. ***

Just pointing out that the 0bamaMedia now has an excuse to ignore these hearings because of the Jodi Arias verdict coming soon. I know they’ve ignored it already but the excuse is there now.
Doc is one of the good guys, as far as such go in D.C.
Only the ones who could prove they could read a script.
LOL.
Yep.
What brand E-cig. are you using? Thanks.
I missed it, what was the verdict with that stupid arias case? Thanks
Another lame-o attempt to excuse dereliction based on what took place. Dumb as a coal bucket without a handle.
West VA ping
I gave up on Rush.
Just painful, I can’t stand the sheer number of IDIOTS found in Chicago. And yes, I live here.......arrggg
Brief mention of hearings, with the video clip being a dem “questioning” (i.e., testifying) in an attempt to trap the witnesses.
This is going to be replayed tonight on C-Span (3?).
~~~~~~~~
So far the only announcement by C-SPAN is that highlights wil be rebroadcast on C-SPAN (NOT C-SPAN3) at 9pm tonight and Sunday 10:30am.
I am upset that C-Span will rebroadcast the ENTIRE hearing for Americans not able to watch this afternoon. C-SPAN is doing a great disservice by just rebroadcasting highlights...
Unless, that is, they plan to only rebroadcast Repub questions and answers-—and skip the Dems! LOL
So Davis is trying to get something in that Issa said to wait.
Sounds like Danny Davis used his break time to slam back three or four
(excepting certain regions of the Appalachians and Ozarks)
I used to smoke, so I appreciate the difficulty in quitting. And I would never tell someone to quit. That's something someone must decide for himself.
It's a form of trying to get control.
The monotony increases the more they feel they are being buffetted by facts.
Madama Shrillary does this too.
Well I live in Columbus OH and there is a local ecig mfg here and they are terrific. Long charges on batteries, good flavor, I use the menthol. Westside Vapor is the name.
DEM : “I have no questions, I just want to get these talking points into the record.”
(repeat as necessary)
LOL!
