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.

The virginia democrat is a total sleaze. He is just pursuing enabling a cover up.
Um, Benghazi happened before the Marxist’s Sequester.
But, sadly, it doesn’t matter...
They keep getting re-elected because they bring home the tax payer money...
Just like the fraud in the WH’s re-election...
So we can bitch about the incompetence of these people but it’s all for naught...won’t make a difference...
This idiot was overseas, yet somehow knows that his entire department was kept in the loop. I smell BS.
Acting Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs Beth Jones wrote the email on September 12, 2012. “I spoke to the Libyan ambassador and emphasized the importance of Libyan leaders continuing to make strong statements,” Jones said in the email, per Gowdy. “I told him that the group that conducted the attacks, Ansar al Sharia, is affiliated with Islamic terrorists.”
Perfection.
Told to stand down BY WHOM
Exactly my question. they need to name the names of who gave them the orders.
Going for antother butt....bs’er yapping.
The “trauma” you must have experienced. Otherwise, you are suffering PTSD.
