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 is the way things are supposed to be done! :)
not the same guy? oops, okay.
I hope people revisit Hillary’s description of “friendly” Libyans lovingly carrying the Ambassador to the hospital in a desperate bid to save his life (cough cough)
NY Times Headline Tomorrow
Republicans Sequester Responsible for Benghazi.
Told to stand down BY WHOM
Totally in full CYA for OFA mode!!
Digraceful.
I find this astonishing given the fact that the mission had been attacked twice along with the UK ambassador's convoy and the Red Cross. Why would we want to even consider making it a permanent facility given those circumstances?
Baahaa...current idiot thrown off his game when Issa asked who said so and so wasn’t involved
Connelly steps into it right away.
Don’t be surprised if it really is. :)
Connelly now wants the statements of lying officials counted as FACTS. Real POS.
The media in this country no longer exists, actually it hasn’t existed for a long time..their existence is only to ensure that the Obama regime stays in power..if Obama had an R next to his name Benghazi would have non stop coverage from the press, but since its their Commie lover Obama, they will not report one word about this
Amen! Glad to see that happening on Twitter.
Not true. Conservatives OWN Twitter, in terms of driving (and winning) the narrative. The libs are exposed as the vapid, self-congratulatory fools that they are.
The questioner is lying on purpose! Kennedy was not mentioned as not interviewed, the witness said that he, the witrness, was never interviewed! So, in typical little barry bastard boy wonder liar regime, lies are the modus operendi of this hearing democrip side!
Rep. Connolloy (Democrap-VA) is yet another lying bozo
Trying to obscure the issues
The issue is whether relevant SECURITY ppl were sidelined, not whether some Obama flack bureaucrat was in meetings
Ooooo Thompson just shut that idiot up! Hahahahaha!
He didnt FEEL it is true.
What a lie that statement could be.
What did he THINK?
Marine staring daggers at Blow hard
