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.

Issa stomps him by quoting the NYT article!!!
Get over the damn non-existent video already, you moron!!!
Kelly gave her time to the douchebag from Wisconsin who is still trying to make out there was credible evidence a video was responsible. Grade-A moron. Now to an Arizona Republican.
That’s all they have....NYT article in the record. Lol
You’re exactly right.
Thanks!
0bama and Hillary have no American character in them.
Each dem offers their sympathy to the families and tries to offer some military background. Then they proceed to old or new talking points. It is disgusting.
I AM seeing with my OWN eyes.
I’d say the gov is one of us...
Your senators, not so much....I think.
Not only were the stand down orders given for military response to attack...a stand down order was given for rescue. Meanwhile....no permission was sought by the administration for fly over rights of any kind.
All means of excuses by this administration have just been removed by the truth!! Testimony about cover ups has been damning too.
Praise God!!
Oh SLAM Hillary!
Beth Jones hit him on management style after questioning why Rice said what she did re: video cause.
Hill clip.
His management style suddenly is in question.
HILLARY on screen!!!!
Hot damn!!!!!!
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!
Hillary!
Love it!
The WHAT DIF DOES IT MAKE video was just played!
The video!
Giving Hicks an opportunity to answer the “what difference does it make?” question. Way to rock!!
