Live Thread: Benghazi Whistleblowers Hearing 11:30 A.M. EDT 5/08/13
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform ^ | Wednesday, May 8, 2013

Posted on 05/08/2013 6:00:25 AM PDT by kristinn

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. ***

Fox News is still good in some respects (ie Bret Baier's excellent report - "See No Evil" - last week about Dr. Gosnell), but... not so much this afternoon.

Fox News was covering the Benghazi hearing when it started, and for a few hours, but I guess they jumped to other news.

However I repeat: Who the hell cares about stupid Jodi Arias??

No one knew Clinton wanted Benghazi as a permanent facility. Pickering was shocked to hear this. Secretaries “wish”

My 8-YO granddaughter reads better than he does! Is he the guy who thought Guam was going to tip over into the sea? If not, he has a similar IQ!

...jeeeeesh...these people can’t even speak...this clay fellow can’t read. can’t speak......

Yes I'm responding to a much earlier post - had to be out for awhile - but this needs said:

I tend to watch a fair bit of programming from British TV and, oddly enough, most blacks in the UK sound practically indistinguishable from anyone else.

Curious, that .. almost makes one think it might be a militant devolution thang over here.

Ok  /hijack   ;^)

The Lord instructs me to love thy enemies.

All that means is pray for them or help them if you can to repent and avoid eternal damnation. You're fine.

I don’t know what the verdict is / was... last I saw they were waiting for it. I think it comes at 4:30pm. Check Drudge, and just about every other site in the world... they’ll have it I’m sure.

But you must remember that God does not equate our love for our neighbor with tacit approval for behavior that dishonors him, as is the case with these Moslems.

Ooh, listen to this guy now!

“I used to think Faux was conservative.”

All the left wing freaks still do, but NEVER watch it. They love to tell conservatives, “Stop watching FoxNews....”

Stephens in Benghazi because Hillary wanted a permanent constituent post there. Edging ever closer to possible gun running to Syrian rebels.

We have four dead Americans and this is important. Requests for more security were denied per witness. Obama knew and approved. If obama did not know ... why not?

In a meeting when this was revealed, Pickering was shocked and asked if anyone had heard this.

No, that was the idiot Hank Johnson. Danny Davis is an A-1 flippin a-hole.

God, I do detest these a**holes and all their filthy lies.
