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.

Also...another biggie..Hicks was threatened not to talk to Chaffetz when he went over on congressional fact finding mission and State department lawyer tried to muscle in on classified briefings against rules.
Coming in late to hearing. Have there been any questions regarding why the ambassador was meeting with someone from Turkey on night of 9 11
Notice the dems didn't take that tact during the hearings about Abu Ghraib.
Also, Hicks was NEVER interviewed by FBI re:Benghazi, and it is VERY clear the 'Anti-Islam video' or 'protest' triggering the attack is a COMPLETE AND TOTAL MYTH FABRICATED FOR PURPOSE OF COVER-UP with no evidence supporting it anywhere. Even some of the Dems like Connolly are mystified by the video narrative.
Desjerlais just mentioned Obama for the first time. How his policies caused this. Wowzer
Pinging you to GWG post too!
Ooooooooo he was DEMOTED!!!
” TIME FOR OBAMA TO ANSWER FOR BENGHAZI UNDER OATH ARREST!!)”
B U M P
He has been demoted because he talked to Chaffetz.
Hicks was demoted after questioning the video scenario.
Why was Hicks demoted?
no-fault curtailment
hicks says he got demoted from deputy chief of mission to desk (foreign service) officer after being between assignments for several months after taking up an offer by state department to resign his post without fault
This is Hugh.
