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.

Someone shut this asshat up...cummings....the man is despicable.
Redundant. Both in appearance and spirit.
He did! What a despicable POS...
This should fire up the witnesses even more.
Obama, Clinton, Rice - the one we NEED to get under oath is Jarrett.
“Death is a part of life”??? Seriously, that needs to be said here??? What a POS.
WTH is Cummings saying now? Death is a part of life and somehow we need to make life a part of death? WHAT!!!! This Party is nothing less than a disgrace!!
He’s shameful and shameless.
Cummings is an outrage.
“Death is a part of life ...” “Balance”
In other words,
“What difference does it make ...”
Cummings is now saying his job is to protect the colleagues of the whistle-blowers from their lies. Issa should get the sergeant at arms to remove him.
Hicks’ testimony is tearing me up. I’m so sad.
Why is Cummings saying we have to protect these witnesses and their fellow employees? Sounds like a threat!
“did he just say, death is a part of life?”
Deaf is a part of life???
