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.

Yes!
These dems are beyond pathetic... this "in the weeds" crap is clear evidence they are in full retreat. They have no fact-based line of questioning.. and are not even remotely interested in getting at the truth. "Where would you like to be posted?" WTH???
Ms. SPEIER offers Hicks a job? LOL That was totally inappropriate and shows how Dems operate; BRIBERY
I try to follow it, but get way behind. I am glad that people like Malkin can make heads or tails of it and spread the word and keep the faith!
I’ll just follow here. :) It’s not so crazy! LOL!
No report of video as a protest for cause. Thank You Mr. McHenry.
Hahahaha, he left it up to his wife!
Megan Kelly and Ollie North, on FOX, basically saying nothing will be done about this hearing.
Rep. McHenry (R-NC) is getting the hearing back on track!!!!!
Exactly!! That's exactly how I read it as well. Hey buddy play ball with the regime or you can wind up in russia or afghaistan in the mountians,Chicago thuggery at work not even so subtle.
That was just bizarre! was she serious? Or did the airhead read it from her script?
This guy is usually pretty good. He will be a good clean up hitter.
Disagree. It's not a home run, but at least a double driving in three runs
WHACK!
Hicks just destroyed the talking points after McHenry played the video!
“The YouTube video was a non-event in Libya” - Mr. Hicks.
“I was jumping up and down when he said that”
it was a PLANNED ATTACK, the Pres. of Libya said it
Hicks: “The Youtube video was a NON EVENT in LIBYA.”
