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.

Well, you heard the most significant.
The ugly democrat is up now.
Cummings speaking ... let’s see how he defends the administration without attacking the front line witnesses ...
Now that’s a photo!
Ask a question or shut the hell up, Cummings.
Please, let’s stay on topic. Thank you.
Oh OK
I doubt if they would admit that their beloved ROP are violent murderers and man rapists...
good job fox
Is Cummings really going to rationalize this...
did he just say, death is a part of life?
WahWahWahWahWah... Let’s get back to the testimony.
NO, and he’s had to hold this in for MONTHS!
What will Eli ever do with all of that? Maybe he has some helpers who can give him something to read.
“I said, death is a part of life, but we have to find a way.....” or something
Not Cummings please......... Is his input relevant other than to distract and misdirect.
He did say on Hannity last night that he was attending.
Omg. Cummings is going to refer to a funeral he went to. Death is a part of life.......theoretically.....WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE
What is Cummings on about...talk about rambling, just wanna punch him in the face.
Cummings says death is part of life but life is part of death....good grief..what utter nonsensical BS!!
Please drop it now and allow the thread to stay on topic.
Plane landed in Bengazi about 7:30 (Hicks said)
