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.

Your Headline would be the absolute truth.
What we heard, in the hearing, was breathtaking. This hearing we heard. There have been closed door hearings also. The information from this hearing was damning for obama / hillary / panetta and all democrats. One can only guess and probably also know the closed hearings are much more damning for obama / hillary / panetta and all democrats. The Issa Committee republican members did a fantastic job with this hearing. I commend them all.
Dittos Gator! Great Leadership came through at this hearing.

Great post I also think that zero may well be a Russian plant.Especially, now that he wants to give our anti missle technology to Putin.
Cummings is a walking talking points idiot.He is just another administration pawn.Probably gets two obama phones for his trouble.
I think we’ve seen from auto-penning to Carney saying that Hillary’s signature on a document doesn’t mean she saw the document, that this administration has no regard for “only” or “authorize” or any other chain-of-command requirements.
I still wonder if Obama was absent and others (Jarrett?) gave “orders” that were followed in Obama’s name?
*******
EXCELLENT POINT!!!!!!
Patriots must say “where was Obama when the consulate was under attack?” from now til we learn the answer, any time anyone wants to defend his tenure in the WH.
Zero isn’t even close to a friend of Putin...Putin’s playing zero like a fiddle for his own purposes...because he can.
Much to be proud of regarding Issa today.

Besides respecting the intellect, tenacity and energy of Chairman Issa, I am in awe of his ability to sit beside Cong. Cummings, the regime defense attorney.
I would have had a stroke from exploding blood pressure at what came out of Cummings’ mouth.
And...Drudge has NO HEADLINES still up on his site about Benghazi. None.
” This is the question we need our House guys to repeat over and over and over.Bottom line;
no matter where he was he is in jeopardy either for doing the wrong thing or for doing nothing.
this is their Achilles heel.We need to expose it.
When I checked it a few minutes earlier, those articles weren’t listed. Glad to see it.
That's encouraging!
Don't know the fellow but I saw all I really needed to see about him yesterday.
What a dolt...A partisan dolt....a kneepad Democrat....
Yep. If he sounds like a stumbling bumbling fool....
No surprise,I don’t think zero has any friends. Only different people he can use. No telling how many are people playing him. we know the Saudis do, soros does, likely pootie as well, how many others we don’t know.
Amen and Amen....
I believe Obama will run for a third terrm.
