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.

General Ham is in deep retirement and looking after his wife ill with cancer ..this was the case a few months ago. As you say, Cummings is there to poison the well before anyone has heard the first witness
He gave NO facts....just spewed the lies they are trying their best to cover up.
Freakin a-holes!
That is one pissed off marine.
They're communists and just doing their thing....
witness clenching his jaw
I think Cummings just screwed up big time .... pissed off the witnesses and now there is NO WAY they will be deterred.
Ha, i think spittle was flying out of his mouth towards the end of his rant...he’s definitely nervous..was stuttering, stammering.
Now, calm & collected Issa..what a contrast!
I guess Cummings angry voice is suppose to mean HE’S speaking the truth, is there not one honest democrat, hah, I laugh at myself for that question!
Praying that our Heavenly Father watch over those who are bravely giving testimony & those who are seeking the truth for our nation. Bless all of them. May He keep them all safe from harm.
Issa just let all those whoppers from Cummings slide. Nothing will break because of these hearings. This is F/F all over again. Issa is useless.
Cummings is all filled with righteous indignation, isn’t he? What a concerned American! He just wants to get the facts straight.
/sarc
His speech sounds like a cut & paste from the last hearing!
Kristinn: Thanks for thread
MM: Thanks for ping.
My electricity has been off for the last 3 hours. It came back on at 11:20 am. Whew!
What a raging fool!
ewwwwwwwwww, did you see Greg Hicks face, he is livid
In agreement.
You can tell looking at this guy that courage was required for him to come and face down dirtbags like Cummings who would try and discredit him.
Good perspective..
I think witness was staring daggers at him and Cummings at the end was looking up and glaring back.
Yep...he looked steely eyed and loaded for war.
