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.

Oooooo, they were given warnings BEFOREHAND!!
YES.... and he’ll love that!
these congressmen, especially the democrats, are nothing compared to the credentials of these brave men, and the 4 brave dead Americans.
Hicks is awesome!
The obama/Clinton defenders in the MSM would be wise to keep the Democrats’ scowling faces off the tube — all while the witnesses are only introducing themselves.
Fox news breakin on national radio for the Cleveland kidnapping case.
Benghazi hearing started 30 minutes ago.
=> Hate to say I told you so...but as predicted here Monday the media would be hoisting a story with social media appeal...to distract from the hearings and they will go wall to wall now.
It’s her.
Just looking at them, you can tell how braindead they are. Elijah Cummings. Who elects this garbage?
He is shutting them down on criticism right from the get go.
You can definitely tell the dem women. They look like the Gorgons. And are about that pleasant.
Yep...a understated bombshell was just dropped.
I didn’t notice.
I’ll look to see next next...Michelle Bachmann could sure be there!
LIVs.
From your keyboard to God's ears. I'm still literally shaking in anger over what Cumming's tried to do to preempt these brave whistleblowers.
Hicks told them good.
Garbage in, Garbage out !
I get the feeling that Mr. Hicks is fixing to realign the Obama/Clinton alimentary canal.
Can’t wait for details....questions and answers!
The White House sent their stooge Cummings the papers he was reading from. The only thing missing was a teleprompter
