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.

“All we have is you today. “. What a POS, he was on the ground stupid ass.
You’re right and he walked into it, too, talking about more hearings and wanting Pickering and Mullins to return!
They perjured themselves the first time.
Come back again? LOL.
Oh yes, PLEASE return!
Hillary too!
Cummings is totally lost on talking points completely irrelevant to the testimony
Cummings hands are bigger than his brain...lol
Cummings keeps saying he wants to protect the whistleblower witnesses, but doesn’t go into just how, when and by whom they where threatened so as to earn the whistleblower title and legal protection.
Mercifully!
Issa said he would be happy to have a hearing with witnesses on both sides to speak to the issue of how soon air power could have been over Benghazi.
Got to luv Fox, goes to commercial when lying Rats are talking! Way to go Fox!
Still wonder if there was a carrier in the Med when this happened?
it’s on BLAZE without interruption
There’s no reason to give Cummings any audience.
Back from my quick butt. Funny thing.... a thunder storm just rolled over.
I don’t thing He is happy with the lies.
Cummings sounds so dumb, I can barely stand it. HERE COMES TREY GOWDY! YES!
Right.
Cummings sort of... backtracking.
I believe Cummings said “up to 20 hours” for aircraft.
Wait till the other Dem dummies on the committee..
Go Gowdy. You rock
All he can to protect “Barry”. Threatening (?) to protect against retaliation.
NO AIRCRAFT CARRIERS IN THE PERSIAN GULF WITH SUBSTANTIAL AIRPOWER? AFGHANISTAN? MEDITERRANEAN SEA? NATO?
