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.

This is so all the Hussein Heads can repeat his talking points for the next couple of weeks as gospel so they can demonize and talk down to anyone who cares about the sad “passing away” of Americans at Benghazi.
Oh, he HOPES there is no retaliation...
Agreed......these America haters are all traitors, starting with Obama, his wife Michelle and his lap dog low lifes!!!
Are we really supposed to believe that it would take 20 hrs for the best military in the world to respond to an international incident?
Also, Cummings just got up and left.. I guess he’s upset he can’t filibuster anymore.
Generally I’m very unimpressed with Issa but in today’s hearing, I agree. Let the eye-witnesses have their say, put it all on the record, and let the process move forward as it will. The biggest sin the Republicans usually commit is by behaving like Cummings is, pontificating and running political cover. The more we hear from the witenesses, the better.
YES, GOWDY!
The President of Libya said this BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN IN CONTACT ON THE PHONE WITH THE PEOPLE UNDER ATTACK!!!
Trey Gowdy is AWWWWEEEESSSSSOOOOMMMMMMMEEEEEE!!!!!
Mr. Gowdy up to jump start the hearing.
Gowdy........meow......holy bleep, he’s hitting it out of the park.........take that RICE, up yours you liar......this is riveting......
Note: Remember Susan Rice was on the program where the Libyan guy had said it was terrorists... and said the opposite.
GO GOWDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gowdy gets right at it!!!!!
GoTRey Go!!! This guy is awesome!!
We need him to run for the Senate in SC next year to replace goober for sure!!!
If you are talking about the air refueling plane, it would be needed, at least, for the return trip of the rescue/assault aircraft.
That in itself should be an impeachable offense.
Hillary blaming the attack on a video when the President of Libya already knew it was a terrorist attack...
Hillary is screwed
Trey Gowdy going for the gold!
Go, Gowdy, go!
Call his office. People need to tell the Dems that we were not born yesterday night.
My dear God, I despise these traitors.
