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.

Ow... My eyes...
Using her for a punching bag certainly helps ease the discomfort.
Thank you Dem. Connolly for reaffirming that the ‘anti-Islam video’ was a cover-up narrative pulled entirely out of thin air by team 0bama. LOL
We need to play that OVER AND OVER!!!!
Gosar ROCKS!
Awesome!
Agreed. That’s gonna sting. He’s playing it right.
Hillary’s testimony caused the FBI to be delayed entry into Benghazi. Testimony given.
(Ho boy, this is gonna be good! Keep us cubicle bound FReepers informed of the take-down!)
The quote speaks volumes about the kind of skunk Hillary is.
The “lie” prevented the FBI from going to Benghazi.
They should also play the video of her standing before the coffins talking about that stinking video. What difference does it make?? People like her should not be in the position of power/authority.
ARB = Absolve Responsibility from Baraq
Ty Woods’ father was all smiles during the video clip.
She tried to bribe me with chocolate macaroons...
Absolutely!
Gosar is great.
It took 17 days to get back to Benghazi!
17 days...
Oh my! So Hillary’s “what difference” outburst gravely insulted the President of Libya.
Not surprising when one thinks about how he would react, but this has major implications.
Seventeen days - the crime scene is unsecured while the FBI chills in Tripoli
But these witnesses can't answer that, other than to speculate. What they can -- and have -- given us is where the stand-down order came from, so it's time to follow that line.
Exactly where was the CIC on 9-11?! Was that even asked.
