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.

OBSTRUCTION.
Nixon redux.
You mean the "mistake on the lake?" (Sorry.) No, take away Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, and a few other metropolises and you have the real Ohio.
Such BS...wish Chaffetz could clean his clock....
Is this CLAY guy going to ever SHUT UP ?
Democrats are scum.
and that damn George Bush, his fault dontja know!
I don’t Tweet..
Playing politics...mentioning cuts from 2011 AND 2012...to distract from the fact that the resources were available and on standby. Go pound sand, Mr. Clay!!!
“Three out of four democrat questioners are black.”
The chips are down for Zero, he must be getting really worried about which of his white sycophants he can really count on.
This isn't about truth for the Dems. It's a pure exercise in SPIN.
There was. I read it. Just as the Embassy in Tripoli had posted on their site NUMEROUS times about the previous attacks in Benghazi and warning about travel. If these warnings were available to the common citizen, THE STATE DEPARTMENT KNEW.
Indeed and they will use that to call the questioners racist. Rely on it!
Their voters are the very same!
...jeeeeesh...these people can’t even speak...this clay fellow can’t read. can’t speak......
The fact that Cheryl Mills called Hicks and chewed on his rear end for doing his job by keeping the Hillary operative out of the meeting where it was absolutely necessary to have the right security clearance.
No money. Yet, Clinton wanted to make Benghazi a permanent facility.
Clay like Cummings and Mahoney just sucking the air out of the room....they think they are the “star” of the moment even if offering nothing whatsoever to the hearing itself.
his is Democrates operating as they do...and a shameful disgrace on our country that such people even get elected.
Nordstrom just completely disputed Clay, then he went to question Hicks, who doesn’t have any involvement with that department! hahah
Finally ISSA brings up money not an object
