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.

This may be the sharp edged tool that chisels apart the entire illegitmate administration.
Email his office and tell them!
Yes, he owns it but I'm not so sure that the order wasn't given by someone illegally usurping that authority (Yes, Val, I'm looking at you).
Christopher Hicks@duke17233m @jasoninthehouse Look at where Benghazigate has gotten us in Syria where are the 1000's of shoulder fired missiles? Impeachment Now!
During the previous summer, Hillary announced that she would resign the SOS, effective the end of Obama's first term.
Congress can call these people to testify. I hope this opens the way for a Select Committee so we can really go after them.
-— Is she such a committed leftist that she’ll take one for the cause or will she take Obama down? -—
She wants the presidency bad. No way she’s going down.
I thought that was strange too. Lots of info. Strange even for wikipedia.
awesome...too bad the late night comedians can’t use that one. (They would if the regime were Rep.)
I think it was learned from the Libyans at the hospital.
LOL, thanks. I don’t tweet, so I appreciate this.
Perhaps someone needs to start a single webpage that lists personal public information on ALL ‘enemies within’ - politicians, MSM, etc.. I can’t, because I do not have the personality that would be able to peacefully deal with the backlash. ;>)
Wow..thanks...just trying to catch up now. Had to run on the treadmill. Happy to report that I did not have a heart attack running after having high blood pressure all day watching the hearing....lol.
Historic First Women President in Waiting only has to get through these hearings to solidify her position.
It certainly did!
Not sure what to make of this: Either a good tweet or in bad taste.
Obama and Hillary Apologize for Free Speech on Pakistani TV (taxpayer-funded ads) Sept. 20, 2012 Which immediately resulted in this...
Pakistan: 17 killed in anti-Islam film protests Sept. 21, 2012
That really gets me... the dynamic duo of Obama and hillary, knowing full well that a lot of people were killed in earlier mass demonstrations when the press published the fictional version of the Koran in the Toilet event, decided to produce an ad with their own fictional version of events the "Innocence of Muslims" movie - and play it on Pakistani TV. They had to know it would incite riots more than the movie would have done if they had not drawn attention to it.
