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.

Hicks comes across as completely bipartisan, honest, dignified, and he commands respect. A stellar record making it difficult for Democrats to discredit him.
WOW! What a hearing. Many truths brought forth!
Hopefully Amash will put this back on track.
So the DNC must’ve texted the talking points in to the dems... “Let’s end the politics and move on... there’s nothing to see here any further...”
I might have to take off my shoes to count that high.
GOP Chairman denied Benghazi documents by Pentagon officials
Did any of it ever hit you, Congressman? Or anyone who worked with you? Did it kill anyone you knew?
No?
Then ZIP IT.
The congressional democrats no longer qualify as Americans. They make me want to puke, but they are exactly what we expected.
No.
no steno in room mean no proof of his testimony. He hasn’t read the classified version of his own testimony, NOT ALLOWED TO, so they could doctor his testimony to their liking perhaps? Perhaps? You know it!!
Chaffets has been given Amash’s time. Good move. Now he can respond to the crap the rats have spewed.
You start with holding those responsible for covering it up and lying....Then you fire these people and prosecute them.
"We're asking the wrong question." Total smack down!
Thanks, This article explains players in ARB. hired for a reason.

Hillary should resign immediatly.
Obama should resign because if he did not know he is a fool, if he did know, he let them die for NOTHING.
Did not ask for flyover capacity that night.
Good, thanks.
The Hill.
Testimony UAV unarmed over the area. But drone could have been armed had it been requested of Libyan government.
Can’t wait to read the reputable journalists’ accounts of this hearing!
So much news to digest and fit in to the real “narrative.”
This hearing also requires the construction of a new timeline.
Never requested overflight permission, except for the UAV.
BOOM!!
