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.

The White House is happy enough with dimbulb Cummings’ outbursts. Give your attack dog some doggie treats
THAT’S TREASON.
It’s one thing to be pissed that the media is covering other BS stories....but what infuriates me beyond comprehension, is how many Americans, even ones who are awake, just shrug their shoulders and/or don’t even know much about this “Benghazi thing”.
If all the evidence brought out thus far, is proven to be true, this administration has committed TREASON. EVERY American should care about that.
Or is our country so far gone, culture wise, that it’s no big deal any more?
“That is one pissed off marine.”
Same thing I was thinking......he is going to be good.
He looks pissed off but under control.
The Good Lord was not going to let you miss this hearing!!
You’re right.
Both Pickering and Mullins perjured themselves!
I seriously doubt Cummings wants them to return for further testimony!
Amen
Which is what marines are trained for.
He wants to snap Cummings’ neck
He looks STRONG!!!
MAY GOD BE WITH HIM! OUR TRUE HEROES!
Thompson’s eyes are blazing with intense emotion. Hard to say what it is Rage? Fear? Contempt for Cummings calling him a liar?
Would have taken the rest of the day to deal with that steaming pile. Eli actually hoisted himself upon his own petard. Dummy he is
Who is the guy behind the witness with a mustache and glasses? Looks familiar.
Democrats’ worst nightmare ... honorable, strong men who are not politicians and who have been on the front lines.
OH yeah!
Issa is not worried about the 5 minutes!!!
I’ll bet obama and Hillary are praising Allah that this story hit right now. Perfect distraction from their perfidy.
Cummings says that we shouldn’t ‘politicize’ this, but he’s totally politicizing it in his opening statement.
Can you imagine if Benghazi occurred under Bush?
Cummings would be SCREAMING!!
Thank you Sarge. Issa starting his questioning right now.
The point is being made now that to say they didn't have time to repond, they'd had to have known ahead of time how long the attack would last. That makes the didn't have time excuse the nonsense that it is.
In a case like Benghazi, forces should have been mobilized and moved toward the trouble spot in any case to provide help if they were able to arrive in time. The rescuers don't always arrive on time, but they should make the effort.
Issa takes over in a very dignified way after dim bulb’s rambling outbursts. Cummings is getting nullified
