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.

Ask me how very much I despise Mullen these days.
Little weasel. Get him to testify, louse.
He was great. I was hoping the fellow from Oklahoma who followed would have... followed.
LOL.... Now I am famous!!
Wine tasting in Australia.
It’s over.
Other than the one on her head?
Basically Maloney was saying Dems weren't allowed to meet with Thompson, and insinuated that the Republicans had told the three men not to talk to the Dems. Each witness swore under oath that no Republican had told them they shouldn't meet with the Democrats. In the end, the truth was that the Dems asked Thompson's lawyer if they could meet with him, and Thompson declined a meeting. As usual, the Dems try to twist the facts to suit their purpose. I wouldn't have met with them either.
It’s closed.....but NOT over!
I think you’re right!
Good job.
ISSA: This hearing is closed, BUT NOT OVER.

Call Hillary and Obama now!!!!

Who’s the lady in the first picture?
Or as Issa said, “Closed but not over.”
Thank you. Great thread.
Thanks for the recap. I was late to this today and was trying to figure out where her dumb questions were leading in regards to trying to get to the truth.
Oh, nevermind, they don’t want the truth. Silly me
Hope it’s not over! I didn’t see that anything was settled today nor did heads roll!
