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. ***

Learn how to read, then get back to me.

You are wrong for calling the teen girl kidnapped hostages “bitches”.

Not only wrong.

Beneath contempt.

You are adding to your contemptible behaviour, attacking mWestmom for calling you out, pretending that she was being distracted by the left, when all she did, the only thing she did, was call you out for calling the teen girl kidnapped hostages “bitches”.

READ.

And stop telling tales about other people’s posts.

God Bless Mr. Hicks....his anger and grief is absolutely palpable.

I know guys like this. They all have not been weeded out by the leftist pukes. They do not waiver. They do not move off course. They do not forget why they got in to the business of dangerous business. They will die for all of us. They will not leave anyone behind. That is what this man is doing today, he is not leaving them behind. Their MURDERS will not be in vain and their memories will not be forgotten.

That stupid Commiecrat, Elijah Cummings, who prefaces almost everything with "African American" and not simply "American" best beware and not tug on Mr. Hicks cape. Mr. Hicks won't play.
