Live Thread: Benghazi Whistleblowers Hearing 11:30 A.M. EDT 5/08/13
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform ^ | Wednesday, May 8, 2013

Posted on 05/08/2013 6:00:25 AM PDT by kristinn

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.

*** NOTE: Press seating will be reserved, but limited. Please arrive early (hearing room will open to press at 10:30 AM) to guarantee a seat. An overflow area will be available. ***

Now Robin Kelly, total NOBODY in Jesse Jackson’s old district is some sort of big-shot. This woman is a MORON who said she wanted to confiscate all guns. She should be locked up.

One of the 'Rats organizational problems is that the ignorant racists in the Congressional Black Caucus gather copious amounts of seniority because their districts are rock solid 'Rat.

Consequently, if the 'Rats ever regain a majority in the House, they'll have to deal with a cadre of pompous ignoramuses in line to chair every committee in sight.

As I recall, Pelosi encountered this very problem in 2006 and, rather than give Elijah Cummings the chair he was entitled to, they made him a part of leadership and gave him a limo and driver. For his part, Elijah was happy to stay on the plantation...

Horsford ... you are wrong! The families want justice and accountability and punishment of the guilty. Get a life Horsford and support America and do the right thing!

Noticed. It isn't "what went wrong" or "where did things go pear-shaped"... But "let's move on and just fix it".

Subtle.

But now here comes the "funding" canard. The budgets he's talking about were NEVER PASSED by Reid's Senate. Completely irrelevant.

Isn’t he? Looks like a few pubbies finally grew a pair.

Now the idiot from Nevada talking about budget cuts, even though that’s already been discounted. Guess he didn’t listen well earlier. Still not asking a question, just trying to testify. Moron.
