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 dAffairs 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. ***

Then ‘they” need to be tried for treason and 4 counts of Murder or Man 1 until a real name surfaces. Because hiring Al Quida to do American security is definitely murder.

Dem Rep Doc Hastings from the “Fried Cities” (Tri-city) in WA state gets Hicks to confirm the his demotion was retaliation and Hastings promises support to Hicks as a whistleblower and denounced retaliation against anyone who challenges an administration.
Gold star to Rep Doc Hastings for putting the Constitution before his dastardly party!
Who was the 'crat who glibly commented, "I don't think we have any smoking gun here today?" We've a whole arsenal.
I’m sorry, but who gives a rats a$$ about her?
Schemp sez: “No new developments.” :>)
Yay! I get to smoke my butt without having to keep my front door open, with my leg blocking any kitties who MAY get any crazy ideas!....even though they run from the open door. I NEVER take that chance!
NOTICE...........about 2 more hours of testimony to come
Doc Hastings is a Republican. The Tricities and Yakima are part of red Washington.
I used to think Faux was conservative.
He’s a Republican
To the best of our knowledge, no write ups or concerns regarding his performance until after he questioned Obama’s mouthpiece on Benghazi, Susan Rice.
Not only is this a cover up; but punitive actions were taken to try to intimidate individuals into keeping silent! This makes Watergate look like a sock hop.
FOX is covering it!
What the happy hell is FOX doing?
Thought they were supposed to cover it?
Messrs. not Mrs.
