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 dAffairs 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. ***

"What difference does it make?" if the Republica's cut funding for the embassy if the people in charge that night won't authorize the use of resources/people who were ready to go that night?
So, it wasn't actually Bush's fault after all? Wow!
#Benghazi trending #1 on Twitter, right now.
Issa does a fantastic job, for the most part. Too bad so little comes from all of this effort...
YES!
Abuse of power, too!
Clay is a Dem, doing what Dem’s usually do..deflect..the terrorist attack was in September, absolutely NOTHING to do with sequestration..but of course the Dems priority here is to make sure that Obama gets off scott free
Issa questioning whether Clay was there on 10/10 when it was brought up that the funding was NOT AN ISSUE?
Clay: I can't remember if I was at....
Thought so...
Cleveland was once great during the industrial rev and the oil boom..
