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.

I'm happy those three women and child in Ohio were freed from that horrific situation, but you just know the Ohio story is going dominate over all other news stories today, especially the Benghazi hearing. I think one of the women is supposed to make a live statement any moment.
Perfect excuse for the MSM to be "distracted"...
K & DC folks who could make it are likely inside the hearing somewhere or nearby, outside .. dunno what the policy might be inside re phones, tablets, etc
Okay, Issa. shut up and put on the witnesses. We know they were stonewalled. Also, what about the other Benghazi survivors? I hope someone demands access to them now too.
Issa telling of his efforts to get the Administration to cooperate - stonewalled

Issa cataloging how many times the minority has ignored this story. Just called out Cummings!!
WooHoo!!
Issa taking Elijah Cummings to task .... :-)
Wow, listen to all the refusals!
I knew Mike Mullins and Pickering refused.
WOO-HOO!
Cummings is such a partisan racist!
Each of the witnesses looks very serious and very determined to testify.
Hope we get the main fact out today that ONLY OBAMA could have given the stand down order!!
Right.
Me too Wisconsinlady.
Oh yes, and they are very serious.
The BS has begun.
