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.

Cummings: “Bad things” that happened that night.
‘Bad things’ are getting a flat tire, tripping and breaking an ankle .... not being killed by AQ.
It was on both live 5 minutes ago
CNN during Mr Hicks testimony is doing the House of Horrors story...
Those effing bastards need to be shut down
Cummings is the absolutionist professional, now working to absolve the regime and specifically his belove hillary of guilt for her fecklessness. It is convoluted, but the play on pure emotion is typical in the face of truth which the progressive demented mind seeks to divert.
I didn’t see this thread before posting so I am wrong, there is a live thread.
Listening to testimony out of one ear.
These people are putting a whole lot, if not all, on the line to give this testimony and there is all but no coverage.
The testimony is heart wrenching. Americans fighting for their lives and left to fend for themselves as best they can. To not come to their aid when it was possible is dereliction of duty from the white hut on down.
This is another Issa deal that seems to be coming to nothing? These are really just show trials of alligator tears aren’t they?
Where is Trey Gowdy?
The Pentagon is now saying that there is no timeline. More block and delay tactics? Same as you said about the fast and furious mess. Delay, obfuscate, confuse.
Listened a bit to the hearings on Fracture Stimulation... Some attempts at sanity but thwarted by alarmist hysteria, ignorance (?) and outright intentional misleading statements like, “frac water pits are left for the local community to clean up”. This could happen once in a great while but hardly ever. We can’t fight the lies hard enough to bury them. We are not wired to fight on the level of a liberal.
SYL ((((Beautiful fatima))))
I am stunned speechless by Cummings vapidity and stupidity.
Now Cummings is trying to use Dempsey’s BS to discredit the witness.
I’ll be muting Cummings anyway when he speaks.
He was sodomized as Nana stated. you can deny all you want.
This is what these animals do....BEFORE AND WHILE they are killing you!
“Hillary didn’t call until 8PM DC time (2 AM in Benghazi) Why the hell did it take her so long to speak with him?”
INCREDIBLE!!!
Stevens was pronounced dead appox 1am Benghazi time.
When did Hillary FIRST learn of Steven’s death? By whom?
Also, few questions have ever been asked about what obstacles/roadblocks Libyan officials presented!
Here Cummings is mentioning Dempsey, who’s probably not there to be questioned, saying they couldn’t.
No way in hell it would take 20 hours.
That’s BS. Trust me.
Someone should cut this POS off right now or call for Dempsey to be brought in.
Def attache said two to three hours.
I know you are! :)
Just praying that this hearing has the ending it NEEDS to have...and no distractions to take away from the importance of what is going on in this room!
I am so tired of these people getting away with MURDER! I know you are, too!
can someone tell me how the tanker think comes into play...
2-3 hours away
Oh, NOW they care about Houses of Horror. Where the hell were they on Gosnell? These people disgust me!

I’m not reading this thread, the testimony is simply too spellbinding. History in the making, folks. What impact it will have is yet unknown, but it won’t be determined by what this A-Hole Cummings has to say about it.
20 hours to get one F-16 to Libya! What a steaming pile.
