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.

Who is this Ms. Norton witch?
The guy sitting behind her, sure looks pissed and/or deeply annoyed.
we certainly don’t want to go down the trail of which department was consulted//////
geesh what a joke
Expire her!!
Another of Obama’s attack dogs. More incoherence from fugly Holmes Norton
My kingdom for the first witness who tells any Democrat that they’re more interested in protecting the Democrat Party than they are about dead Americans.
Just come right out and say it. It’s what we all know to be true.
Yes it does....with a loud boom.
Oh man.... she won’t let go and he won’t let her get away with trying to smear him.
What a troll she is!
WHACK! He nailed her!
The non-voting rep from DC...like most DC politicians? Corrupt, heavily liberal and a moron.
Bozo the clown could replace Boner!
All these committee Demagogues are scum!!
Their lies and obfuscations need to be shredded along with this lying administration.
Send that picture of Ambassador Stevens to F. Chuck Todd at MSNBC...he thinks this Benghazi stuff is a laugh riot.
The “bureau” vs. “portions of the bureau”
Seriously... what difference does THAT make? The important players for crisis response were excluded.
Yes, I saw that, too and I agree with you.
Ms. Norton is a racist and a pit bull.
He is re-focusing the testimony after the Dim-wit dribble...
same here....and getting whiplash!
She doesn't even have the Constitutional authority to be there.
“Tripoli and Benghazi” were listed as critical -— but the Obozo/Hillary administration severely neglected their security -— then let our people DIE.
