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. ***

Yep...how many sips of water did he take during that presser anyway? LOL!!
Good grief...There are like 700 channels and no one is covering this...
TV is really disturbing BS.
All I see are overweight people in Ohio going hysterical over that abduction story by the 3 suspects who look 9 cents short of a dime...
Fox is part of the US MSM. It does not surprise me that they do this at this time, it is NO accident. Saw it coming.
WOW! I’m so happy for you!
Issa is calling the hearing to order!!!
What is going on? I can’t get cspan3 and Fox is acting like nothing is happening yet. Is it started or not?
FAUX NEWS ALERT! FAUX NEWS ALERT!
Breathless Blonde Bloviators!
Sensuous Scrolling Screeds!
And the network director in the booth screaming, “WE NEED A DEAD BLONDE OR A WHITE BRONCO! CUE THE OJ TRIAL MONTAGE!!”
Fox is covering it LIVE right now.
Congrats!! That is really cool!
Issa up!
He’s wringing out his shirt and shorts as we type.

Got it.

Cant you stream CSpan 3
Watergate: people lied, no one died,. Benghazi: the president chilled after people were killed.
What does it matter.... Your credibility Madam Secretary, Your credibility.
You think we’ll ever see al-Qati Couric on primetime TV endlessly repeating “What did he know and when did he know it?” like we did during the Bush years?
