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. ***

*waves*
20+ hostile ARMED individuals had breached the annex... That’s quite a protest!!!
I’m still waiting for Clyburn to admit that he voted for Alvin Green (i.e. the black guy) in the 2010 Dem Primary for US Senate.
MSM = the news now for the TMZ culture
She’s not on the committee..
I thought he shook his head, but I might have been mistaken.
Then it means Annex Chief is CIA .
Ok..got it
I am watching on Fox News
Riveting testimony.....
Already there after watching Nordstrom
10 pm Call to SD then to local Libyan officials. Other calls made then another call to Washington updating what he was doing. This pattern repeated throughout the night.
Said we would charter a plane out of Tripoli to fly in help.
Thus far, I am very impressed with Hicks.
Obama isn’t going to like him very much.
KNOCK IT OFF!
Cnn cut out to hear from jack trapper....coments....they really don’t want this to be heard.
You’re not alone....!!
MSNBC isn’t carrying it LIVE...they’re spinning...but who’s watching?
Not reading from a script = TRUTH!
Heartbreaking beginning of the end.....
