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. ***

Carolyn Baloney resembles a camel, IMO...

Baloney obviously cares more about protecting her good friend Hillary, than she does about exposing the truth. "What difference does it make?" that four brave Americans were killed in Benghazi...

I love how she wastes time with the witnesses by attacking Issa on something that had nothing to do with the witnesses.

It matters to me, I am a tax payer- she is a servant. Someone tell her to shut up.

So, seeking out the technicality of what memos have Hillary’s name... BFD. Would the request for security at a consulate in a still-hostile region NOT get her special attention.

I can book a flight right now on KAYAK that will get me from Atlanta to Benghazi in less than 20 hrs (with stops in Frankfurt and Tunis).

The attack was broadcast on RF. All military commands in the area would have heard the May Day/Broken arrow.

He’s back now. He was probably logging on to the Washington Post Online to reference the Pinocchio Rating System...

C-Span 3 isn’t on tv it’s on the internet. You go to the C-Span website and get on it there for livestreaming. That’s why you didn’t find it on your tv.

She is a horror. She was once my representative. She should be ashamed of herself for her antagonistic attitude. She calls people like Mr. Hicks “a panelist.” I guess she thinks she's Kitty Carlisle on “To Tell the Truth.”

Good grief, this silly woman “testifying” now.

Hey, she let each of them give a one-word answer. How generous of her.

That 20 hours time over target probably includes an engine change or something. Total BS.

She’s like Cummmings...confusing and confounding..distracting from the truth ...and doing so by added drama....it’s how they work.

Talking in circles and saying nothing.
