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.
*** 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. ***

A Dem caller just asserted that Susan Rice’s statements were not the official position of the admin. I guess she just went on to all the Sunday shows of her own accord.
I have gone completely e-cigs, for three months now. I love it and will never smoke another cigarette again. No reason to once you get used to it.
Yep...callers are overwhelmingly seeing thru the Dem ploys.
Hi AQ. A little soggy, but we need it.
That be him.

White House spokesman Jay Carney held a press briefing September 14, 2012

Hicks was bribed DURING THE HEARING by Dem. Jackie Speier who offered him any job he wanted, anyplace in the world. LOL She wouldn’t do this for a liar, would she? She obviously concurs with hicks!
Hey, these people post home pornos to the net. Backing the Dems should be no problem at all.
That was James Clyburn. When Pelosi was Speaker, that opened up the the Majority Leader and Whip positions, filled by Steny Hoyer and James Clyburn, respectively.
When Republicans took control of the House and demoted Pelosi, she regained the Minority Leadership and pushed Hoyer into Minority Whip, leaving Clyburn with no position. Therefore, they created the "Assistant Minority Leader" position for Clyburn.
There is no "Assistant Majority Leader" position.

Since Fox is not airing the hearing, I peeked at msnbc and they had 5 people all in agreement that all that was being said was talking point and attacking repb attacking rice. This people would not care if obama did exactly what hitler did. They would blame rep for obamas actions. Do muslims own nbc?
They are overwhelmed by evidence and have no ground to stand on but trasparent lies.
Almost all callers are seeing truth.
Caller must have forgotten about O’s speech to the UN and that pesky commercial in Pakistan.
I have those. They are SO BIG and HEAVY....I need 3 fingers to hold it.
I need to get over that because I really really want to stop smoking!
she is a bab’s box of rocks clone
Figures. That picture broke the meter on my gaydar.
They made up a position for Clyburn. hahahah
All, hearing is being aired on PBS as well. Watch it here via The Right Scoop.
