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. ***

Is it the press that is asking the questions?
Listening too...” Patrick” is pretty nervous and disturbed!
The Committee needs to call General Ham to testify. Subpoena him if necessary.
What a weasel he is..typical of the O admin
Looks like it is trending #1 on mine.
Maybe they were reminded of this?
Are you looking at United States Trends?
Elijah Cummings..the ranking member, will be rabid today...Issa should smack him down..
(whistleblowers) - Refer to them as ‘Patriots’
Heard Trey Gowdy in a good interview yesterday on 106.3 FM here in SC. He said the hope was more witnesses would come forward once these other folks testified. He said they WILL protect these witnesses!
State Dept. spokesperson says hearings are not about keeping people safe. What a weasel
The only thing that will make an impact is if these hearings show that criminal acts have been committed and that indictments are made.
And I don't know enough about the law to say that crimes have occurred. All I've heard anyone talk about is how the Obama administration is careless and incompetent, even with people's lives. But we already knew that. They will not be morally accountable for anything that happened in Benghazi-we can only hope to hold them legally accountable.
Be nice to get all the overweight women and the overweight cops wanting to be part of that auction story in Ohio by the three suspects...Are three suspect illegal aliens, or just more imports?
He is very very nervous and wiping his nose, drinking water. Better be a bathroom close by!!!!
Er abduction story...
