In the year since the Benghazi terrorist attack took the lives of four Americans, House Republicans have continually pressed the Obama administration for answers regarding events preceding the attack, the administration’s response, and what has been done to protect the lives of Americans going forward. Those efforts will continue with three House committee hearings this week. Here’s more:
The House Foreign Affairs Committee holds a hearing Wednesday, September 18th at 10 am ET titled: “Benghazi: Where is the State Department Accountability?” The committee notes that four employees placed on administration leave following the attack have recently been re-assigned within the department. This hearing “will examine why no one inside the State Department has yet been held accountable for the failures and deficiencies identified” in the Benghazi Accountability Review Board’s report. [TUNE IN HERE ] The House Oversight & Government Reform Committee holds a hearing Thursday, September 19th at 9:30 am ET with Benghazi Accountability Review Board co-chairs Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering and Admiral Michael G. Mullen, USN (Ret.), members of the Department’s security panel that conducted a review, and family members of those killed in the attack. The hearing will focus on the review board’s investigation and questions that still remain regarding the attack and the administration’s response. [TUNE IN HERE] The House Armed Services Committee will hold a hearing Thursday, September 19th at 3:30 pm ET on lessons from Benghazi and the Defense Department’s ability to respond to similar attacks today.

Earlier this year, House Republicans released an interim report on Benghazi outlining the findings of five committees of jurisdiction investigating the attacks, and laying out next steps – including additional hearings and an ongoing effort to obtain access to witnesses and information being withheld by the Obama administration. “It is disgraceful that one year later, even though a number of the terrorists who participated in this attack have been identified, not a single one has been brought to justice, Speaker Boehner said last week, pledging that Republicans “will press forward with our investigation until we have answers, full accountability, and justice.”
Looking ...
Could you let me know too?
I need a feed!
Jim Jordan went back to Mullen about the Mills convo about Lamb.
“Isn’t it true you were selected and notified by Mills that you were going to serve on the ARB?
M: Correct
Jordan: A week into formation of board you call Mills back up and say, “Hey” re: Lamb....And, oh BTW, at the end of the report
you give Hillary & Mills a chance to look at the report and make EDITS if they want to..., and yet you say You and board operated independent.
M: We have Hillary the report. IT WAS HER’s TO TAKE AND HER’S TO CHOOSE WHAT TO DO WITH. SHE CHOSE TO SIGN IT OUT.”
Jordan: OK, but don’t convey it as independent!

Nope. There was supposed to be coverage from the committee site per cource article. All I get there is that MS Silverlight is needed to stream, which I have.
Ditto.
Nothing on twitter?
Thanks for all you links. Much appreciated!
Welcome!
anyone find the link yet for today’s hearing?
Thanks for picking up these YouTube clips. I don’t know how you do it, but you save Freepers who haven’t listened live or want to review certain choice portions so much search time to lay hold of the gold nuggets of testimony in these hearings. Time and again you do it. These threads wouldn’t be the same without you. Thanks again!
Chaffetz:
Al Jazeera got and leaked the IPBP (best practices) report (end of August) a month ago. State Dept has report. Congress does not have report. How did it leak to Al Jazeera?
