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. ***

Ron DeSantis just quoted me...

"No man left behind" is more than an Army Ranger credo it's the character of America.

He used the word ethos instead of credo. Probably a better choice of words.

Hicks does not know who gave stand down order. Need to ask Lt Col Gibson.

There it is!

Trey Gowdy ROCKS as does Hero Hicks!

Rice and her damn talking points prevented Libya’s cooperation and that’s why Stevens’ diary got seized by cnn.

Rice called Libya’s president a liar in her talking points.

“Who issued the order to stand down” to Hicks.

Hicks replies...”The right person to ask that question to is Gibson.”

I think we’re not supposed to hate our personal enemies, people who are mean to us personally, etc. Hate their actions, motives, etc - but not the soul.

But these here enemies are enemies of our entire country...and all that is good and honest and honorable and just.

I get that. However, I am a sinner, so who the heck am I to judge others.

Although, those whom I KNOW don’t believe in Christ being the Son of God and refuse to do so, I simply dismiss.

Don’t know offhand the scripture in which He states to do so....I just remember it and do so.
