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.

Rep. Pocan (D-WI) yet another worthless scumbag!!!!
I can’t believe how these bozos just divert and obscure
The ‘Rats are not interested in the facts
Pocan full of puke!!
Just opinions...??? No bombshells??
Fox is worthless.
I’m embarrassed that Mark Pocan is from WI.
However, he is from Madison, not real Wisconsin.
Lets make sure we have enough security, dont look at anything else.
Lets be proactive!
Wow
So this is about protection, not deriliction of duty?
Yes and who gives a crap about his back packing..Hes a pussy compared to this Mr Hicks.
Referring to their testimony as opinions & of course, started out w/story about himself..tool named Pocan from WI-Madison, of course
Great info. Thank You!
Could have been. The hesitation was palpable for a response.
Her question stunned me...
Why do all these democrats have to give personal experiences? Why have they all been in dangerous situations? They should have learned from Hillary, don’t lie about being in combat.
Old f’ing news that Benghazi crap..WHAT DIFFERENCE AT THIS POINT DOES IT MAKE?????????
I DESPISE democrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He’s now asking for recommendations on how the State Department can improve. THAT’S NOT THE SUBJECT OF THE HEARING.
Hicks is getting caught in this web. I think.
axel rears his mighty head one more time,more talking points. What bs!
Show me a Dem that DOES have shame
Am thinking the same thing...enough of Cleveland...cover it later.
O’Pecan is playing the talking points sent to him for the hearing: change the subject to funding, repeat there is no smoking gun —with the smoke rising in the room— and lastly ‘what difference does it make at this late date?’ Slick quisling bastards
