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

Posted on 05/08/2013 6:00:25 AM PDT by kristinn

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. ***

Am I the only one that wishes (secretly) that someone would get up and just slap these a-hole DemoRATS upside the head?

“I am only repeating what Mr Hicks just testified to.”
~~~~~~~~~~~

I am on a time delay. These questions are still fuzzy IMO.

After today, we need a new timeline!

Just now hearing his testimony.

BTW:

Hicks said that there was nothing about rescue in his conversation with Hillary at 2am (first (and only? call from Hillary to him). It was all about “find and hopefully rescue Ambassador Stevens. That was the primary purpose of our discussion. Secondary purpose was to talk about what we were going to do in Tripoli to enhance our security there.”

Stevens was pronounced dead at 1am. Libyan pres notified Hicks of Stevens death at 3am.

I think Hillary already knew Stevens was dead when she talked to Hicks. Of course I may be wrong, but I don’t think Hillary was ever asked when and from whom Hillary knew that Stevens was dead.
