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 dAffairs 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. ***

Tierney D-Mass up
Going after Issa
In all seriousness, it would be a faith-restoring karmic vindication to see Øhole, Clintøn, and Hølder led to the traitor’s gallows and hung in the manner they’ve all so ignominiously earned.
I think it was the Turkish Ambassador.
These Dem hacks all have the same talking points with the Wapo “whoppers”.
Pinocchio and the Burger King are mentioned again.
lol Tierney claims ARB was “rather harsh”
what b.s.!!! heads should roll
a few “harsh” words not nearly enough
the bleeping Demagogues spin and lie, spin and lie
f.u. Rep. Tierney
yes, “clearly the American public was deliberately misled”
So.....ONE talking point is WHOPPER WITH FOUR PINOCCHIOS.
I’d be ok with that. Can we get them ejected from Congress too?
And now we have Mr. Tierney saying Issa went on tv and accused the administration about the events in Benghazi, falsely, manipulated for political purposes, misleading the American public, etc.
Another jackass here eh? Questioning the witnesses about “talking points”...
Is it me, or does this guy look like Alec Baldwin with lighter hair?
Think it’s actually a RI hack. But yes, the security restrictions and Hillary! The plummeting sound we heard was her presidential chances.
“Looks like Hillary! you blew the 3AM phone call yourself.”
CNN and MSNBC ignoring the hearing. Shocker!!!
They have their script.
I am not sure why you are bringing up sending arms to Syria?
This is about security at a US facility overseas...
That appears to be the Dems strategy..to just attack Issa
Don’t mute. Listen to it ALL. The light of truth is right there, we ALL must listen.
This is to the Oversight Committee’s website:
http://oversight.house.gov/hearing/benghazi-exposing-failure-and-recognizing-courage/
The Republican members are asking the witnesses questions about what happened in Benghazi.
The Democrat Members are defending what happened here in the U.S.
The dems are testifying for the administration.
They can’t handle the truth.
